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

kathleen:
I really appreciate this comment and say "thanks" (with a blush!). It's always great fun to go back so many years and come away with a productive image for the effort. :)
zime:
Well, now! I'm especially pleased to receive a "WOW"!! I give those out sparingly myself, and if that's the same with you, I take it as an honor. :)
I think I may puke. :-) Nice work.

ROFLMAO! Thanks for reminding me that the final test for a GREAT amusement park ride is the question, "did it make you feel like you were going to puke?" :D
Great illo! (I hate these kinds of rides personally!) Love the illustration, though!
As a boy, I loved them...now? I can't really do rides anymore. Thanks so much for the comment. :)
this seems to be a scary ride indeed!
luv the textures you incorporated here..
atomicvelevetsigh:
This could be a very scary ride the first few times one climbed into it. Clusters of rotating buckets would spin slower on the outward cycle and faster on the inward, giving the illusion of an imminent collision with an oncoming bucket in the neighboring, similarly rotating cluster. LOL - it's why they call it a "thrill ride" i bet!
I love going to the fair. This reminds me of so many great memories. How wonderful!
imwithsully:
Thanks very much for this one (blush!) ... I have to say that it seems like I've struck a chord with this piece. I even tickled myself - not so hard to do actually - a delightful occurrance whenever it happens and I'm always pleased when my work evokes fond memories. :)
