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

Did I hear someone whistle me...
And here I see .... what? ..... a whistle!
susupetal:
Yes, you did ... but, I think it was the wolf from yesterday's post! :D
hpy:
LOL, yes, a whistle! You had other ideas, Hélène? :)
Interesting and evocative as a toy--lots of memories.
Also it triggers a little fear factor becasue for some reason, it also looks like a little gun--derringer?

I'm always pleased when one of my pieces evokes memories. I suppose the shape could be confused with, yes, a derringer; but, it's a whistle! :D
I was curious about your process and then referred to an earlier post.
I am really enjoying your work. I don't mean to lurk,just sometimes short of time and memory.
Love the textural depth of Birdhouse III.
Are these works large?
the artful eye:
Lurking isn't a bad thing and I surely understand about the shortness of time and memory. Thanks for commenting and, no, these pieces are small: 400 X 400 pixels.
Ah...a man and his toys...I know I've already said it, but it bears repeating, I like this series! I've liked the others and now this one too. They're such simple images with such nice memories associated with them, that the viewer looks at them and can't help but feel nice. Or at least I do anyway!
shani:
I feel the same way about this series as you do. Even more, because when I'm painting, I actually feel like that unskilled, untutored little boy creating with pure expression. The hard work, as I believe I speak about in a few of the other posts, is in the manipulation process. That said, I do admit that it's good work if you can get it! :D
