"Modeling With Toothpicks"
digital collage & digital drawing by Mick Mather

I've had this one laying around for a while in a variety of versions. Eventually, a few of them included the stick-like construction along the top which supposed the title for me. I spent a lot of my preteen years making models, a lot of them buildings, and the reminder of those days gone by is very strong. They're good memories and for a long time I wanted to be an architect like my Uncle Bob. Anyway, a little something with a tiny glimpse of personal history.

"The Model"
digital collage by Mick Mather

Some of you who know me will understand that I love a good visual joke. Tonight's post is one of those images that seem just fine at first but then, slowly, it appears that something isn't quite right or is off in more than one direction at the same time. The shifting is subtle, not all that clever, but something that I enjoy doing just for the fun of it from time to time.

"Fashion Plate"

Without jumping the gun - well, okay, without jumping too much! - there's that feeling of Spring in the air! My own winter funk is lifting and I'm beginning to feel the energy. Soon enough the snow will be gone, the flowers will be popping up and all the pretty girls will have stored their winter clothes for something a lot more - let's just say colorful, shall we? So, tonight's image is a toast to the imminent arrival...raise your glasses - to Spring!
