"In a Very Small Orchard"
digital collage by Mick Mather

One of the joys of being an artist are those works that surprise even me at the end of the creative process. I've mentioned that some images begin to live, breathe and change on their own ... this is another one of those times. As my brand of crazy fortune would have it, the old dreams have started again as well ... (sigh).

Illustration Friday: Citrus -

"A Subliminal Misunderstanding"
montage by Mick Mather

The theme at Illustration Friday this week presented a bit of problem for me. Oh sure, with the theme being citrus, I could have easily done some sort of still life or chosen the least known fruit of this genus, the shaddock. Instead, I followed along the trail of a misunderstanding, a mistake, a miscommunication and the subliminal misfiring of a memory gap! I hope you enjoy it.
