"Birdhouse VIII"
manipulated digital drawing by Mick Mather

As I mentioned yesterday, this is a hit and run post. I have a late meeting and a date for a few cocktails so, before dashing off to accomplish both of those important tasks, allow me to say, "hello, I must be going!"

Another long, long day -

"Yellow Top, With Navy Suit and Scarf"

Yes, again I have to post quickly and run off to greet the day and my grueling schedule. So, what better way than with a bit of a kooky nod to fashion posed in a somewhat industrial setting. Do feel free to meet me for a cocktail at 4:00 - it's always best to get properly prepared for those 6:00pm meetings. :D

One step forward, two steps back -

"Defining Solutions for Serious Issues, With Cocktail"
digital collage by Mick Mather

With more than a week's worth of puffery and ill advised, self effacing innuendo over the new work I decided to step back a bit. I've retreated into old and familiar territory for the past 48 hours. As far as I can tell, it's a purposeful measure of distance traveled from familiar shores. I can also revel a little while in the double entendre present here. Other than that it's time for - what else? - a cocktail!
