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

You know quite well your Finnish Sisters -or haven't we kept our dark souls hidden from you...
Looked at the prosess in your other blog and was impressed -so much work for us!
The cottage looks cozy and I bet it's warm, so I'll just cuddle in like a bear...or like a Finnish Sis.
Thanks, Mick, appreciate your kindness. Good night (it's 1.10 AM here).
Oh, I forgot to compliment the sky in the pic. It looks like northern lights, Aurora Borealis.

I know The Finnish Sisters well because I've been paying attention ... such good attention in fact, that even the dark of your souls is somewhat known to me! :D
Thanks so very much for the comment on the cottage (blush!) ... it is indeed cozy and warm. Do cuddle in and beat the rest of your fever.
Thanks again for mentioning the sky. I'm not certain that you have a regular showing of the northern lights so I put them in just in case. :)
Here in southern Finland Northern lights are somewhat rare, you'd have to travel to Lapland to see Aurora Borealis, but who would like to travel there where the sun soon sets to rise again in the spring????
We do have occasionally Northern Lights here in the south, also, I've seen them a couple of times, but I'm told they are nothing compared with the lights up north, where the sky seems to be in flames of yellow, green, red and blue.

I've seen the marvelous displays once or twice myself - it's rare, as you say, but shimmering sheets of color covering most of the Northern sky is surely a treat below the circle. :)
I came too late - all is said.

LOL ... better late than never and I'm pleased to see you here. In case you were wondering, I also appreciate my fiends in France. Even so, since you do speak Finnish, I count you among the Finnish Sisters with this tribute! :)
