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

Lonely chair. I like that it's not in the middle of the picture. It's more exciting, when it's on right.
Quite dark and isolated. I like the colours too. But it doesen't look like a chair you want to sit down and wait what happens next... Spooky.
I like the spirit of the pic. Great!

Thanks so much (blush!) and you put into words something that even I was struggling to define - lonliness. You also got it right about not wanting to sit in that chair. It's dirty, worn, obviously well used in some other lifetime. The waiting room at this particular take-away shop is, in turns, dusty and oily, perhaps a bit gloomy and therefor spooky. The spirit of it in spite of the surroundings also appealed to me, thanks for saying so. :)
Hmm, I found the chair attractive! Because it's so plain, so simple, so...chair. And the lightning is just beautiful, the rays grace the interior beautifully.
(I believe the chair isn't meant for sitting at all -the service will be fast in places with that kind of chairs!)

Thanks with my usual blush. I have to agree that this image has that innate quality that makes something what it is. In this case, so...chair. I love the way you put it. :)
Simple and beautifull!
