"A Time Machine Arrives at the Repair Shop"
digital collage by Mick Mather

I suppose this image would fit rather well at the Outer Dust Rings, one of my other blogs that I've had to let go fallow ... too much to do, too little time. I very much enjoyed doing those posts and probably have a nice little coffee table book in the offing if I can ever figure out just how I'd like to see it laid out. Anyway, for now, this piece is dedicated to a pair of very dear friends who took the time to let me know how much they enjoyed the ODR pieces, Mary Stebbins Taitt and Ranjit Bhatnagar - sorry that there's no story to go with this one but, as I was saying, there's just not enough time in my day!

Found chalk drawing -

"The Writing on the Wall"
montage by Mick Mather

While doing some aimless surfing last week I came across an extremely charming piece of street art. This expressive drawing was spotted on the side of an old building and more than likely is the work of a child. While I'm not 100% positive, I do believe that the medium is plain, white chalk. Graffiti? Yes, but not exactly. If I could go back in time, I'd sure love to be able to lift this off the wall and bring it home with me. The manipulation here suggests that I do indeed have a magic process where a piece of paper could be laid over the drawing and a simple transfer taken. Something along that line surely does exist, leaving the issue of building that time machine!
