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

La bicyclette bleue (the blue bicycle) is a French novel by Régine Desforges. My first bicycle was blue and the best I ever had. It used to be my sister's before it was mine and I couldn't even sit down on it.

If I've evoked a fond memory for you, Hélène, then I've done my job. I suppose that construction webbing looks familiar as well, although maybe not as memorable.
I can't ride a bicycle anymore, my back won't allow that. It's sad, because I was born on the saddle and used to ride everywhere: to school, work, restaurants, festivals, restaurants, pubs, restaurants(dis I say that already?).
My first own bike was green and it was a hippie bike with flowers on it.
Thanks for the memories.

Bicycling was more than transportation, it was also very good for you after eating at all of those restaurants! I bet that's how you kept your girlish figure.
My first bike was red but it had more scratches, dings and dents than paint along with the required amount of mud and grime for a young boy.
Yes, with a baseball card clipped to the back wheel so it sounded like a motorcycle. :)
Pink Flod's Bike song is one of my favorites. I cannot help but smile when I hear the lyrics "...you're the kind of girl that could fit into my world...."
Great spin, Mick.
