Sometimes, when a period of less strenuous activity is called for, I go back to old, familiar working methods. Last week I embarked on a handful of old school digital collage pieces using said tried and true methods. This is one of them.
shani: Once again I say thank you (blush!) for these words. I particularly liked the wet-on-wet watercolor look to it even though the main figure looks a bit cartoonish. :)
mary stebbins taitt: As I mention above in my reply to Shani, the wet-on-wet look has it's way with the work; as you point out it's magnified by the dramatic use of light and dark. :)
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

The sun shines east, the sun shines west, but I know where the sun shines best...
outside!!
It looks sunny in your pic, and that's important.

Yes, shining for you, Susu.
I like this one. It has a lot of movement in it, accentuated by the play of light. You can feel the people eating, talking, smoking, nice work Mick.

Very interesting! The lighting is great, Mick.

Ok, everyone has beaten me to it so I will raise my hand in quite agreement that the light here is perfect. I wish I was standing in it too!
lisa sarsfield:
You are standing in it, Lisa. :)
