"Punchline"digital collage by Mick Mather
About Me
- Name: Mick
- Location: Syracuse, New York, United States
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

I think if you get a good, tight seal around the lower gasket you'll be able to figure out your farfignuten :D
studio lolo:
I should warn you, Laurel, that a seasoned mechanic like me (who is well versed and accomplished at achieving the tight seal in question) has an unlisted telephone number! :O
Very trippy & cool!!!
Hello again smooches,
The Tart
; *
dang!! LOL!
I understand completely nothing about cars and practical and unpractical jokes, so my suggesion is that a murder is planned in this pic.
Brakes are being broken.(that's a nice sounding line, isn't it, crunches in the mouth).
The ever clever Mrs. Hodgson has found out that her hubby, the jovial and easy-going Herbert Hodgson has let it loose. This infuriates the Mrs. because she doens't like it to hang loose.
She's very clean.
Murder is the only solution to get rid of that vulgar husband who doesn't know where to hang his hat and put all the eggs in one basket.
I should start a vnew career. To be an art critic would be nice. I think I have just the right touch.
Hahhah:)
P.S.
Got to say that your work is always very inspiring! I don't usually get as weird ideas as here in other blogs...!
the tart:
Hey! Yer Tartyness! Long time, no see! Thanks for dropping in and leaving this comment. I think about you once in a while and passed your place a month or so back ... but, got distracted and forgot to leave a comment. :)
studio lolo:
LMAO ... don't fret, one of the major rules of first aid is to put pressure on it! :D
susupetal:
A murder you say?!! Have you and Elegia been having tea without inviting me along? I love your story. :D
That said, I'm honored to be considered an inspiration. Let the weird ideas flow! :D
I sat here and thought and thought about this, and all I got was there is a screw loose somewhere, not sure if it's you or me...it's safe to say it's probably me though, ha ha! This is very thought provoking and lovely colors!
hmm.. the gear box transmission? and the way a joke is created .. may have loose screws but effective depending on the gear!
ha.. i think my explanation is as complicated as the abstract image!
this is a fun challenge and illo.. i'll be coming back to see other people's interpretation..
senta:
LOL @ a screw loose! If there is, I'm certain it's both of us. I will point you back to the paragraph that accompanies the image as this piece is more about the thinking that's going on here. Consider advertising and marketing for a little bit, see where that takes you. :)
atomicvelvetsigh:
When you get back, see my reply to senta above. One more hint that I can throw at you is that a lot of men are easily distracted by bright, shiny things. Read that as you will but consider hot pants, long legs, spike heels ... I think you get the drift! :D
It's very cool and complex to a non-car person:)
Well, you know I find that somehow this really "fits" the prompt. So...if this is the punchline, the question would be, what's the joke? Ah...or is the joke on us? Hmmmmmm....I'll have to think about this one more.
Good work Mick!
valgalart:
Yes, and it seems to be getting more complex the more that I think about it too!
shani:
I'm going to have to reveal my thinking here at some point, but still not yet!
""?"" (thinking)
Love the color!
