"Enough"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 like the contrast of colours "B&W", I mean nothing political when I'm saying that.
I think it's not enough yet, a few hit and then it's enough ;) I like the story in this picture, it leaves so much space to imagination.
elegia:
The beauty of most art is the story that we bring to a work ourselves. I do believe that an artist should take some responsibility for their work, even if it means saying they don't understand, yet, exactly what it's all about. Lately I've had the delightful pleasure of hearing what many of you think and that's always important to me. Thank you, Elegia. :)
enough is enough !but we need more your works!!!
Very moody and strong.
harlequinpan:
I'm honored by this call for more ... fortunately, you only have to wait until tomorrow. :)
digital scott:
Thanks for this comment, Scott, I'm always honored when you stop in. Part of the process here was to layer a handful of slightly varied, then offset versions of the image. I was going for that blurry, fuzzy-headed view one has when semi-conscious.
I love boxing pieces. This is very powerful, and sad.
the charm school dropout:
I thank you first for the comment and again for sparking my memory! I have a block-relief print of a pair of boxers that was cut at least a decade ago. Now I have at least one image I can scan and upload while I'm (ahem!) on vacation. :)
Well now that illustrates the theme perfectly! And if "Uncle" ever comes up as a prompt you can recycle it for that too!
shani:
Thanks for the comment but I must respectfully disagree about "Uncle!" That theme would require a piece about "wrasslin'"! :D
I just called into the other room and asked my husband if he knew what "sweet science" was...he shouted back, "Boxing!" He came into the room to look at your photo and said the guy on the mat looks a little like Floyd Patterson. (He used to be a sports writer.) I think he misses it a bit! Great photo Mick. Have a great Vacation in August. Can I come along??
studio lolo:
This is, indeed, Patterson. A boxer who was rarely down in his prime, although Jake LaMotta once gave him a good snooze. The boxer standing over Patterson here is not LaMotta, it's Danny Nardico who put down The Raging Bull for the first time in his career on New Years Eve in 1952. So, this is a collage of two different matches. As for my vacation? The more the merrier, head east!
lovely
kelly meyers:
Thanks so much ... I stopped by your place for a bit. I'll come back again soon. :)
This is a powerful pic, I like it.
susupetal:
Thank you, Susu. I worked hard on this piece and was even able to delight myself by the end! :)
