Buried Treasure -
"The Electric Chair II"digital collage by Mick Mather
The original version of this piece was first posted a month shy of 2½ years ago. I also seek to serve two masters with the updated version seen here; one for Seth Apter's project, Buried Treasure and the other for this week's Thursday Challenge theme, power. I have to admit, it's been a blast looking back at the old work and adding to a few of them. Seth, this was fun!Labels: Art Everyday by Mick Mather, Buried Treasure, digital collage, power, Seth Apter, Thursday Challenge

Her last meal was a peanut butter cup, I heard...
John:
That would've been my choice, too!
SusuPetal:
:D
Very neat!
Jeb:
Thank you, sir. I'll drop 'round your way soon.
Ok, this I didn't expect! I thought at first a rocking chair...but then I realised that this was far from the nuturing rocking chair!
I went back to the original, I found it helpful to see what you originally said and now I can see this more in a political view than a morbid one..this is an interesting piece of treasure for sure!
Lisa Sarsfield:
The earlier piece (thanks for checking it out by the way) was also based on a theme. It was from the human point of view as regards toxic much more than anything political. Even so, I'm well pleased that you worked your way beyond morbid which this image was never meant to be.
still a very powerful piece!
~*~Patty Szymkowicz:
I appreciate the sentiment here, Patty. If I ever get 10 free minutes, I'll drop over to your place for a look around. :)
This made me stop and look more than twice.
Gald I popped curtesy of Seth to check this post out. I agree with Patty, very powerful piece, and I like the changes from the original post and feel it is even more in line with the original toxic theme after its alterations. Great stuff!
Ginny Gaskill:
Thanks so much ... I might say the same about those Hawaiian photos over at your place. :)
Kim:
I'm glad you dropped by too, Kim. Thanks for taking the extra time to check out the original and for contemplating the earlier theme.
Doing the Buried Treasures tour. You have such an unusual style. I like it.
Kelly:
I've been very bad, no time to do the Buried Treasure hunt. I have at least 3 proposals for public art works to get to this week and it's likely I'll fall further and further behind. Anyway, thanks for dropping in and for leaving a comment. :)
Your digital art is simply stunning. I have never been to your blog until now, and found this piece both elating and haunting. I read the original piece and loved the "state of the state" part. Although this piece is moody (and toxic, perhaps), I think it really does say a lot about our society as a whole.
Bluebeard and Elizabeth:
Thanks so much for your delightful comment here. :)
Your two and a half years make me feel like a newbi at just over a year. Your photos are fabby!
Swallowcliffs:
I still feel like a newbi ... well, whenever I have to learn how to learn how to swing a new filter at least. Thanks for dropping in and I'll attempt a visit to your digs when I get the chance. :)
Two for one! This piece really is powerful. One of those images that is hard to take your eyes off of while at the same time is difficult to view. Well done! Glad you decided to join in!
Seth:
Thanks so much for this comment. Next stop, Thursday, for Buried Treasure II!
I'm sorry I didn't make it by last week, but at least I get to take part in my own little two-for-one. This piece is pretty powerful ... love that it's "toxic".
3rdEyeMuse:
No need to apologize, I haven't made it through all of the wonderful posts for this one either.
