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 didn't have to wait for so long this next mysterious rock of the mind :-) Colours are so calm but there's strength that storms under the surface, waiting for to be shown.... Thanks Jim for sharing these details - they give a lot work to my head and soul :-D
cbender

These last two don't talk to me like the first two. even if colors andd textes are the same. Must have to do with the composition. I like them OK but am not excited like looking at the first ones
Synapse
Oh I agree, they're not as good ;-)
Naichan
Now Jim, stop teasing! I'm sure we all are eager to know what you used to get those neat textures. Toothpaste? Rabbit droppings? Oh, I give up!
bevchiron
Maybe this one doesn't have quite the drama & intensity of the others but it's still a pleasure to see those abstract textures & tones. Looking forward to tomorrow ; )
bern
Nice textures in this one too...
mysnapz
Well it must be my mind but this one has such a desperate feel to it, I feel like everything is just draining away. Better check out the other again I must be missing something.
