Every now and then, with a bit of luck, an artist will produce exceptional work that immediately demands attention. This is the case with Bill Jackson’s Morphenia, a suite of sixteen computer generated digital prints. (Nick Smale - Artspace Magazine)

His imagery was as spiky, robust and eclectic as an Hieronymus Bosch and his use of colour and ornamentation as rich and luscious as any Dutch old master. (Peter McCarthy - Visual Arts Magazine)
