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

Well I'll be waiting for the promised posts! Interesting!
That picture reminds me of the Finnish ceiling decoration, which is put in the ceiling during Christmas time, it's called "himmeli" and it's made of straw. Here are some photos.
The colours in your pic are very warm, I like them much.

Hmmm ... our poetry book, Leighlunds and Poppa's drawing book and the ongoing "No Waitin' G" Series. Where am I going to find the time?
Loved the photo's by the way. I sure do see what you mean! :)
As Susu said, the colors are warm and delightful.
hpy:
I'm glad that you think so too and thanks again to both of you. :)
I would not get lost in this image.
I like it, its warm indeed
Oh, now this is cool Mick! It reminds me of Pick up Sticks. Do they even still make them? It was one of my favorite games as a kid.

Thanks very much for saying so. There's a long line of images that led up to this piece. The warm tones, seemingly heated by the central light, was what hit me too. I hope I don't sound too full of myself, but this is one of my own images that I keep coming back to over and over again. Sometimes, we surprise and amaze ourselves I think.

I'm delighted that you bring this up. The original title for this was "Pick-Up Sticks" and a whole series was planned. Perhaps it's still being planned since I have a few other artworks waiting in the wings that feature this particular look. One of them, in fact, will be a public sculpture using this theme if I can find the funding.
Wow, love this too. I am really drawn too the warmth and colour despite the harshness of the title. I love the title though, it is very appt and the colours for me work well with the concept of human antamoy (sp!)
Good luck with the book and yes please keep us posted!
lisa sarsfield:
Thank you so much. As I've mentioned here and there since deciding about the drawings and my manipulations and the small booklet, the project seems to have taken on a life of its own. As before, stay tuned. :)
