About Me
- Name: Mick
- Location: Syracuse, New York, United States
In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks. This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images. Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr. In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com

Love the composition!
alina:
I thank you, with a blush, for this comment. In view of your own excellent work - line, wash & background - I'm especially pleased to see you drop by. :)
Good one Mick, but sorry for the note. Been there, and yes, we're stronger for the experience. Love the origami ref to Nan's jello!!
In good cases every rejection makes us stronger. At least I hope this is so!
The colour world of your work appeals to me; warm, broken, earthy shades of life.
lolo:
LMAO @ the Jell-O reference. I couldn't resist mentioning it since almost every piece of origami I've ever attempted turned out as a misshapen something-or-other never close to what the instructions show!
susu:
Once again I say thanks so much for the way you describe how the work speaks to you. Warm, broken, earthy - none of those occurred to me until you said it. :)
LMAO!!! This is genius...once more...you are sure the master of self-portraits...very classical American elements…
itkupilli:
"Classical American" elements indeed! Yes, the old refrigerator and the clothes are from the 1950's. Then there's the "Dear John Letter" which is very old indeed. Me? Well, blush, I'm right out of the 1940's but perhaps not in the same field of 'classic' as the other iconic elements. :D
striking image to support your words....
says it all....
janice:
Thanks so much with my usual blush. I must say that I get a kick out of doing this series. Regardless of the title or theme, of the bitter or the sweet memory, these are always great fun for me to produce.
