Jim Tetlow
Born 1974, UK
I like ambiguity in art. Uncertainty. What has to conform to the limits of our reality? Metal, glass and flesh can merge seamlessly, as if the surreal worlds and the life forms within are one and the same, and yet at odds sometimes. I rarely seek to endow my works with any "message". I am more interested in people's personal responses.
I'm a multimedia artist working in fine art (including sculpture), digital art, graphic design and various forms inbetween, also illustrating book covers and numerous CD covers. I also work in musical soundscaping, both solo and in group projects, of which there are many releases. I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone here who has supported me in my work and beyond since I began posting in June 2001. Too many to mention, you all know who you are... I'm meeting very special people here :-)
Update 01-08-05: I've been given a 4 page feature article in Issue 3 of the new media magazine Contour based in Atlanta, Georgia. The images printed very well and they did me proud.
Update 21-03-06: I've been spending the last 6 months living in New South Wales, Australia. Inspiring place! Also in the process of illustrating the book covers for a series of Japanese books called Hikishio no Toki (Time of the Ebb Tide) by Mayumura Taku - to date I've completed the first two of the five volumes. I've recently been returning to traditional media as well as producing the usual digital art, and contributed a sculptural canvas to a recent local exhibition. Link: Saatchi Gallery webspace
Update 09-01-21: I hadn't even logged in for some years. It's weird nipping back here after not even posting for 13 years, like revisiting your old school incognito. As I'm not active here anymore I wonder if anyone will even see this again besides me.

Oh gorgeous colors here Jim!! I love the design too!! And I too totally hate these stupid lifeless Poser dolls! But when used this way, it's a different story! This actually makes me think of the movie "I, Robot"!. I guess it would have been a perfect poster for the movie! ;)

Interesting. Not pretentious at all. It's a fresh look at Posers/Manakins too.
bevchiron
wow Jim I love this! Great composititon & colours & it has to be the best use of poser I've seen in a long time lol! I can almost feel the energy between them, like a dance of the subtle energy fields! Not pretentious at all & a brilliant execution of a complex concept ; )
gwfa
beautiful & interesting - not a widely spread combination...

This is great. One of the most creative use of Poser that I know !

I always knew that someone would do something great with Poser one day! Guess it had to be you, Jim. You're opening a door to all sorts of possibilities. Like the graphic touch, as well. That's another thing that I don't see much of around here, but which can be effective and cool.

Fantastic colours here, and sharp too! I really like the subject, its not pretentious at all, it makes me think about how we can never really know another person as we just cannot get inside their heads ... it also makes me think of the difficulties in knowing yourself Very intriguing!

0_0 oh - wow jim... that's ... well i am missing words... i really love this one too...! great colors and a great composition... and a good example how to use poser... ;) i love the way they interact... it "vivid" even though they semm to be static - or "technical"... still a shown "vivid" interaction... amazing... brilliant... definitely one of my favs here...!!! :)

Simply stunning work my friend and the only decent work with Poser I've seen in a very long time hugs The colours and effects are nothing short of brilliant! hugest hugs Thank you so much for creating and sharing :D

Wonderful. Reminds me of the film THX1138 in terms of mood. I also get a sense of the sad emotioinlessness of androids in your work. It would go really well with Asimov short stories.

always thought this sort of work was the way to go with poser & have seen it used as such... you've successfully added your own style! like the graphic feel of it & color... they still appear a bit stiff but works here :]
digitalgrey
It feels like they are going to fill each others missing pieces so beautiful and strange
cingram
Love this!! This is a great example of Poser images being cool when you can't tell its a Poser image. The postwork is very Synapsian!!
unstrung65
...I QUITE like the look of this piece --- fractured - glowing and radiating!
gallimel
fascinating. indeed I feel hose electric waves. It could fit any Bjork's sleeve :)

Now I like this Jim there seems to be a sort of caring between the two a definite feeling of interface. The poser figures make good androids. Nice one.

Perfection At Its Best...Love It!!

What adjective should I use for this one?? I can't decide on one at the moment, but I will say that I find this as deep as any of your others my friend. I can definitely see the thought that went into this work, and it really does make me think about 'communication' as I look at it. Also, I really have to agree with your view of Poser despite the fact that I use it all the time. I love to capture the human form with it and really enjoy the program... I just hate the way that it is typically put to use. Brilliant image as always my friend.
