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

This is wonderful! I say that often but I mean it sincerly each time. I love the time worn look this has and the many shades of grey. To me this looks like an image was put in place and then peeled away again leaving remnants of both the orignal and what was underneath.

I believe you and say thanks with the same sincerity each time at my end. I had zero hopes for this photograph before it was cropped and put through the paces at the Secret Visual Laboratory. Once the filters and manipulators got done with it I had at least five fantastic versions to choose from. This will quite likely become the cover for the coffee table book that will document "Greymoor Walk".
Amazing how technology can give not just photos but stories a second chance. Nothing quite beats being 'hands on' for me though and I believe you said you had similar temptations too?
This would be a lovely cover:)
Lisa Sarsfield:
It's decidedly amazing the things one can do with the technology at hand. Although, just as you say, I am tempted to work with my hands at least twice a day. Some basic block-relief printmaking may come to the fore when I least expect it! :)
