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

a different flavor than usual. i am drawn to your "happier" pieces - must be the same thing that makes me love the beach boys...

Yes, a bit different. It's all to do with a new plug-in filter I've been using and I'm usually very careful with my manipulation choices. There's a very spidery, wispy, vein-like quality with most of the adjustments that I find creepily organic. Anyway, I normally keep the heavy patterning subdued and buried within the layers. Here, obviously, I let it fly! :)
Ahhhhh...now isn't this one sweet?! But nonetheless, very nice! I like it, it has a very relaxing quality to it.
Th=t's on the sunny side of the street. Lovely.

I couldn't agree more. It was one of those lazy Sunday's with all of us out in a group, enjoying a perfect day.

Thanks so much Hélène. The atmosphere was thick and crisp, like buttermilk, with that creamy aftertaste that makes being alive something special on a day like this. :)
I've been away to long! Your blog's looking great. You have some wonderful art works here but this is my favorite! For an Autumn Junkie this is a real treat. Lovely soft focus and muted tones but still warm and beautiful. If you decided to print postcards let me know:) My art budget doesn't allow for anything bigger! lol
Oh, this is Tahiti by Gauguin, just the same colours and light! This is great!
Walking is fun:)

Thanks so much for catching up and for your favorable comments on this piece. Please feel free to print this out on some good paper and frame it. All I ask is that you mention it and link to it sometime at your blog. :)
susupetal:
I have to admit that I've never spent a lot of time with Gauguin. Even so, I'm honored by your comment and the reference. :)
