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

If the first bird you see inspring is a blackbird (?) you will be lucky - or something like that. That's what I heard the other day, and now I'm glad to see your blackbird (I've refused to see any other bird).

Our blackbirds tend to stay all winter, Hèléne. Seeing your first robin is good luck around here and I don't recall having seen one yet. :|
amazing shot of an American robin - we have a few winter here this past year and there have been many migrating through the past three weeks or so...
John M. Mora:
This is actually an English Blackbird, John. So named a "Colly Bird" - a mispronunciation of Collier Bird somewhere between the 16th and 17th centuries - because it's color resembled the black coal dust of the mines.
We have also blackbirds here. They seem enthusiastic.

Are they singing, Susu?
