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

That's a pretty funny quote! I see you have gone in a more representational direction lately. Do I see only one filter used on this photo? I'm liking the coffee ring ameobas, is that a filter or a layer? Nice composition with the offset figure in the red dress.
Tonya Vollertsen:
Thanks so much, Tonya. I've used more than one filter in this image, often the case in my work, and the coffee ring amoeba is one of them - it's actually a damaged film filter, hence the burn spots, scratches and raggedy chemical edges. As I go along the layering begins until I've stacked up as many layers as I need to complete an image to satisfaction. So, the answer to your question is: both. :)
Oh, that circle drew even my eye straight to her...red dress.
Funny quote!
Lucky Dip Lisa:
Obviously I liked the quote too ... over here of course, we got to hear the theme music that went with it, "The Stripper" by David Rose.
