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 too had a little truck like that when I was about 4 or 5. Could it had been in gum? Or wood?
(Never played with dolls.)
Good work Mick! And you're right, they just don't make them like they used to, do they? I remember my brother had those metal yellow Tonka trucks, of course they weren't much competition against a ball bat (the little sister's self-defense weapon of choice).

It's funny you should mention dolls, a doll is the last piece in this series that's finished. I'm still looking at it, dissatisfied somehow, so it may never be seen.

I wish I could remember the manufacturer and it was long before Tonka. Suffice to say that they were, heavy, die-cast toys that are quite likely still around today. I should plan a trip to the flea market and get some photos. :D
