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

'Mone!!! It's good to see you back for a visit and I sure could use a little help with my "Junior Scientist" Back Yard Rocket to the Moon Kit!

Thanks for stopping by ... sorry I wasn't here when you arrived but I did leave the door unlocked. Did you have a cup o' tea while you were here? I see that you're looking in the right direction by the bye ... think pink! :D
Well now, that does add a little something to the ole' moonscape!

LOL ... thanks for saying so, Lisa. I had a good chuckle at myself again while working on it. :)
Flamingo (Flamenco)dancers!!
harlequinpan:
Yes! The bird seems to be doing fine but I do believe that I need more lessons! :D
ANd the flamingo, is it wise too?
hpy:
I don't think so ... the poor bird brain was just along for the ride! :D
Very witty indeed! Well done.

digital scott:
As I mention briefly in the post, this was a particularly difficult theme for me. Fortunately, I was able to come up with this practical joke ... thanks for having a laugh along with me. :D
the charm school dropout:
LOL - the photographic evidence is clear! Isn't it? :D
Very wise indeed!
isay:
I'd say thank you but ... "cheese it", here come the cops! :D

Mick, this is great! Those darn pink flamingos show up everywhere...the best yard art invented.
I had to go check out your self portrait series and boy was I giggling...you are so clever! I couldn't find just one favorite but I love the unretouched portrait :)
Keep them coming, they really are great. Are you Danish? I have a bit'o Danish blood, unless I was adopted and never told...

Thanks so much for the kind comments on this post and - with a nod and a wink - for taking some time to look at The Selfportrait Series on flickr! I don't know of any Danish blood in the family tree but it's loaded with Irish, German, Scottish and English. Pass the Jameson's, please! :)
