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

Dandelions are somewhat forboding, just realized this.
You seem to be in a tender mood, Mick, this is also very beautiful and delicate, yet has strength also.
My first thought was bride seeing this, must be because of the whiteness of the wall and the flowers in a bouqueut-like composition.
Well, brides need strength:))
No filters, no nothing? That's not NORMAL!
Only the lonely, sad poor thing. Leskenlehti in Finnish.
Ps. Don't take it! You are going to kill it that way. Let it live its short life. Snif.
the charm school dropout:
That they are, Sarah. Especially once the white, seed pods take to the air like summer snow! Although, in a large field, covered edge to edge and while still happily yellow, they can be beautiful.
susupetal:
What a lovely thing to see as you tell it. I should admit I was thinking the opposite of tender since this plant has forced it's way up and conquered the cement sidewalk. Talk about strength! :)
hpy:
LOL - thanks for the diagnosis, Hélène, but I did run this through a couple of different filters. Both layers were used sparingly so much of the original photo is what you see the most.
elegia:
I have no plans to take it. Better than that, I believe I'll document it's short life, send the images to Susu and wait for one of her fantastic films! I'll even include an mp3 of my own music for the soundtrack. :D
Ah...a testament to perseverence...even if you find yourself between a rock and a hard place you can still bloom! Nice work Mick!
shani:
I suppose one has to admire the single-mindedness of a flower. The only thing it knows to do is root, grow, bloom and procreate! :)
