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.

i really love those structures and textures... it's amazing.. great play between the white and the other colors again... loads of subtle tones... :) i'm really looking forward to the final one...

OK, took me forever to find the original, but I did. Unfortunately, I don't think this is one of those cases where a detail (or three of them) really adds terribly much to the original. It would seem there just aren't terribly many specific details to look at. On the other hand, if you look at the details as images in their own right, there may be something there . . .

looking forward for the last detail. :D

@Nico, these details are supposed to be treated also as images in their own right ;-)

Each of these is so very different in the feelings they convey, it's going to be quite fascinating to see the complete image again after this..... restrains self from going off on a search! I'm really enjoying these Jim, great idea ; )

Magnificent Artwork Jim!

Now I'm beginning to wake up :-) and being so excited to see next one... I like the hard feeling of the rock, and the shadows on it that can cover some strange feelings. :-)

this one so far is my favourite: linear, yet involving.
