"Fierce"digital collage by Mick Mather
About Me
- Name: Mick
- Location: Syracuse, New York, United States
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

Love it Mick.
Beautiful and scary. Image rollercoaster ride.
My best.
John:
Huge conflagrations can be just that: beautiful and scary. Most of us can't seem to look away.
Mick you continue to amaze!
KV Abbott:
Thanks, Kevin. It's like receiving a brightly wrapped gift every single day. :)
A Wookie - what is a Wookie...
Love the image, it is quite beautiful. Enjoyed your last Buried Treasure as well. I will look in often.
Really wonderful second post, and doing double duty makes it doubly special. This piece is both lovely and scary, but I'll admit it is full of emotion.
John:
Sorry ... you have do your own homework, John!
Marie:
Thanks so much, Marie. A quick peek past the blinds at your place was very rewarding. I love what I've seen of your work.
Bleubeard and Elizabeth:
There's something about fire that continues to touch the ancient savage within us.
tough choice between this one and the alternative - both have such a powerful feel to them, but I think the alternate grabs me a little tighter.
thank you for digging deeper!
I am passing to ya a blogily transmitted disease, an award.
This one makes me think of the big fires going on in the south of France. The one near Marseilles, and the one in Corsica.
3rdEyeMuse:
Yes, a tough choice for sure. What I really like about the alternative is that it pays so much more homage to JMW Turner.
John:
Ut oh! :O
hpy:
I haven't been paying attention to the world news. I hope these fires are being brought under control.
Fire, walk with me.
Yes, I like this.
SusuPetal:
You're a firewalker? :O
Hot photo! Thanks
Swallowcliffs:
You're welcome! :)
Your alternate posting is *very* "Turneresque." Fierce would be a hard concept for me to illustrate, since I go more with quiet beauty and peaceful surroundings. Thanks for your look at a walk on the other side of the tracks - Jeanne in Oregon
femminismo:
I say thanks for all of these kind words, Jeanne. I've always been interested in both sides of the tracks and am well pleased with your fine company along this short stretch.
Strong image, I think Fierce is an apt title! Although fire is both scary and beautiful, it's always hypnotic for some reason I can't quite fathom. It definitely speaks to some primitive part of the brain. Loved both versions of the pics too.
Kim:
Thank you, Kim. Wouldn't it be fabulous to go back in time, strictly as an observer, of man making the first fire? I bet it was completely by accident but once the process became a realization, wow! What a sight to see!
A winner in my book and a great choice for a repost!!
Seth:
Thanks so much! :)
What a powerfull photo although I have to admitt you have many of great treasures on your blog.
Svetlana:
Thank you so much! I hope you'll stop in often. :)
wow, what energy- so alive and bold and flowing- a source of all for everything. THis is such an amazing treasure to share!!!!
Jill Zaheer:
