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

Hi Mick!
AT first glance I thought it was a tanker ship(greatperspective!)and as it was downloading, I felt like going down in that stairs and stopping just in front of those written words.... great take of the topic.
Hey, you made my day with your wonderful comments. Thanks a lot and have a nice day!
isay:
Thanks for dropping by my place and I'm delighted that you felt like walking down the stairs. As regards my comments on your work, I've always been inspired by your own writing and the other poems, quotes and snippets from others that you so often include. Now, your artwork has made a giant leap forward and I wanted to tell you so. :)
You know I don't really like graffiti, but sometime's they can really be poignant can't they? I saw one the other day in Geneva I thought was good. Hmmmm....I feel a post idea coming on! Btw, I hope you're feeling all better now!
shani thomas:
They certainly can and this is a case in point where the message fits so well into so many categories. I'll keep an eye open for the post idea you mention.
I am feeling much better - although, this afternoon the tummy started turning again. Time to go lay down for a while I think.
wow I realy love this one.
trijnie:
Thanks so much, Trinjie. I've had this in the files for years and finally got a chance to use it! :)
This remonds me somehow of a film by Hitchcock. Great.
susupetal:
Relly? Hitchcock? Wow! Thanks, Susu (blush!). :)
Really strong composition... it's as if the message is pulling the viewer down.
curious art:
Thanks very much, Leah. Since the piece is a manipulated photograph that was taken from street level - shooting down a service stairway - some part of the compositional aspects were already there. It was enhanced and elongated a bit as the work proceeded but still true to the original perspective for the most part.
I like this one.
This of course doesn't mean that I don't like the other ;-D
hpy:
Thank you, Hélène ... both times. :)
I really love this, too! WOW! Nice.
This is... I can't find the words. I just love this. I could hang up this to my wall.
mary stebbins taitt:
Thanks so much, Mary. By the way - did you send anything to Phil Memmer for the TV Dinner Writing Project? The next Th3 Reception is tomorrow night with readings! :D
elina:
(blush!) ... please feel free to print out a copy and hang it, Elina. :)
