"Photo Op With the Guest Speaker" digital collage by Mick Mather
I've been playing quite a bit this last week. Tossing images around quickly, cutting and pasting with minimal softening, blending or repainting before running it through the super secret array. Todays post has been nagging at me a bit, demanding to be finished ... so, here it is.
John: I was thinking the same thing but a few decades forward. The figure on the right suggested Beckmann to me and the resemblance to Il Duce surely fits the time and face of good ol' Max!
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

Thank you Miss Koo! Like dolls, I got a kick out of that! :)
Who ha sbeen drinking? THey, or the photographer? (It's a bit foggy!)
This one is so very well done and actualy disturbing - reminds me of Pablo and Gaugin and history of modern "figurative" painting.
Somehow I think of a portrait of Musolini.
