"Selfportrait as a Burlesque Show Agent" digital collage by Mick Mather
"... the difference between burlesque and the newspapers is that the former never pretended to be performing a public service by exposure ..." - I.F. Stone
Oh whew! For a second there I didn't realise you were the agent...I was thinking that this was some new and wild side of Mick we havn't seen before! lol.
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

Tis the season to be jolly! Do you have a plot outline, Susu?
This is a good one from the Elf portrait series. It could be a book cover from the fifties or the sixties.

I've been in play mode for a month or two. I think it's important to step outside your usual themes, process and expectations. :)
