Thursday Challenge: Blue -

"Blue"

Thursday Challenge continues with another color. Blue is this week's theme, last month it was yellow, in May we had pink and way back in January it was black. Anyway, another graffiti photograph, taken last weekend, surely seems to fit ... and, I'm already planning a Noon desertion on Friday to kick off my vacation. Let me see, who can I rope into a 3-martini lunch? Hmm. :D

"...the decision to leave him arrived on the heels of a grim vision of their future together. She headed for the door, donning his favorite, blue shirt. Wearing it gave her more than enough momentum to escape his sphere of influence..." - a flicktion by Mick Mather

Moody Monday: Horny -

"Fire Down Below"

The weekly theme at Moody Monday is horny. It's quite amazing to me that this topic would come up at a time when my work has taken a slight turn into, shall we say, a blue room. Following along with that concept, the subject of tonight's post seems to be right there with me, a burning fire more than evident and reflecting off the walls. Hot diggity!

NEW from The Making Faces Series -

"Blue Girl"
digital collage by Mick Mather

Whenever I seem to hit a wall, I'll jump into this rather simple series of images. As I've said a few times before when posting from this series, they're thrown together fast with little attention paid to blocking out, repainting, etc. before moving to the super, secret array of plug-ins and filters. I spent much of the day working on new pieces - tonight's post, however, is an older one that I like for personal reasons. Anyway, now it's time for an evening of mindless entertainment. You guessed it! TV!!!

Thursday Challenge: Colorful -

"Colorful"
digitally manipulated photograph by Mick Mather

This title of this evenings post is the theme at Thursday Challenge this week. I knew that I had a handful of photographs that would quite likely be usable, and yet, I began messing about with a failed photo that was almost totally black save for the red spot. Primary red at that - so, I went about tweaking and lightening and brightening and layering and filtering and...phew! This is what happened by the end of the process. As the piece developed, a number of other versions, equally satisfying but less colorful, were created. One of these alternate images can be seen at my newest blog, a collaborative, sci-fi creation of an imaginary world known as the Outer Dust Rings.
