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

Card punching! Oh, I've done that too! A long, long time ago.
Oh those golden days of crazy, lazy summer when there was vacation and no punching.
SusuPetal:
Did you ever make mistakes on the cards? What happened?
I took someone else's card and punched it.
But no harm done. The other one punched my card.
And vice versa.
SusuPetal:
So, the four of you got a little punchy then? Good work!
Yes, it was a blast!
SusuPetal:
:D
Great quote Mick!
I confess, I have no idea what card punching is!
Lucky Dip Lisa:
In the old days, a lot of computers relied on mechanical input data that was read from long, rectangular cards. These cards were coded by punch outs in the cards. Human beings were required to do this task and it was called card punching. :)
