Illustration Friday: Multiple -

"Selfportrait of the Artist As A Simulcast"
digital collage by Mick Mather

A very interesting theme at Illustration Friday today - multiple. I get two birds with one stone since this piece does double duty as a new addition to The Selfportrait Series ... I love it when that happens! For now, I fear I must leave you. I need a stiff belt of Jamieson's Irish Whiskey and I know a guy who's quite likely filling the secret hip flask as I write this. Bottoms up!

NEW from The Making Faces Series -

"A Glowing Smile"
digital collage by Mick Mather

Not much to say this evening except for the fact that a flurry of creativity this week has resulted in four more images in this series. Once again, as a reminder, these are hastily thrown together with short shrift given to clean edges or blocking out unwanted background. Usually, 3 or 4 faces are assembled and layered before the final work of manipulation in the array of super secret filters begins. Anyway, I need something mindless to entertain me this evening...rot, wot? TV? Did I hear yer say, TV? Sounds about right...I'm in!
