"Sister Existence and Her Magic Swirlin' Ship"digital collage by Mick Mather The early thinking over this piece was all about the empty suit, a dream and pop art/op art swirls of colors. Then, as is often the case, something else took over - in this case, our very sweet, if somewhat confused Sister Existence. The background is a multi-layered digital drawing gone awry that was turned into an abstract, smudge painting. I'm thinking that it could possibly stand on it's own and you can have a look at it here, if interested. Be that as it may, the suit was added, then Sister herself and then a bit more fiddling and manipulation. I feel like I'm rushing this piece in some way and, although I've spent plenty of time on it, I keep thinking that it should sit for a while. The last time I did that, though? The image never made it out of the files and it's almost a year old ... hmmm, perhaps I should give it a sixth chance at breaking out of jail? We'll see.Labels: A Painting a Day by Mick Mather, digital collage, NEW from The Mister Existence Series, op art, pop art, smudge painting, suit

Oh dear, he has blowed his brains off.
That was the first thought.
It still is.
Need a drink.
Looks very psychedelic to me, great trip

LMAO! With Elina away until next month, I was wondering who would take up the gruesome commentary. I'm not so sure that you're wrong either! :D

Psychedelic was another idea that came to mind - even more so with the un-layered version that I link to. In the end, that mid- to late-1960's movement had as much to do with the pop art and op art movement of the early 60's, hand-in-hand with an often drug-inspired investigation and experimentation of the graphic arts and design fields.
Someone's lost his head?

LOL - I never noticed that until some of you mentioned it. Actually, this is a shirt, tie and suit on one of those display mannequins that haberdashers use - they don't have a head, just the upper body form for shirts, sweaters, jackets ... but, you all knew that! :)
