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 takes my thoughts to the 30's depression.

Quite right ... some coal field in ol' West Virginny?
Not being computer literate I do find your digital collage interesting as I do mine the old fashioned way with glue etc. And I went back through your self portrait images again-- so very creative.

The difference in working methods is no more than that of tools and materials employed. I work with pixels instead of paper or found items and software programs in place of knife, scissors or tearing by hand. Too, the original collaging is only half the battle and half the fun. Equally important is the work accomplished via manipulation.
Love that quote and suitably ghostly lines around this ol work horse!
opps, I meant to say that I was planning on trying that technique you mentioned...I didn't know it's name though. I think there's a lot more scope for lino cutting than I originally realised!
Lisa Sarsfield:
Thanks, Lisa, and keep up the good work with the lino-cutting. You've guessed it correctly, there's a LOT more to it than one can see on the surface.
