NEW from The Selfportrait Series -

"Selfportrait of the Artist as a Silhouette"
digitally manipulated photograph by Mick Mather
It's been a while since posting an image from this series and you may recall hearing similar sentiments on Saturday when speaking of the dry spell between images in The Mister Existence Series. I have another one ready too, but will wait until a day when I need to go to the well. I'm a bit tired and short on time since construction of the Kings Court Cube began today. You can have a sneak peek at the effort at No Matter What Shape.

Illustration Friday: Foggy -

"Foggy"
digital collage by Mick Mather
There are two old doo wop songs that I was humming while working on this piece. The more popular, "Silhouettes", recorded by a huge number of recording artists, such as The Rays and Herman's Hermits, takes the perspective of one on the outside looking in at lost love, as shown here. The lesser known but equally popular hit, "Silhouette", takes the opposite position of someone looking out as his lost love passes by. In both cases, the memories are ever present, even if a bit foggy, and thus suited to this theme at Illustration Friday.
