No Matter What Shape - The Archive

AN ARCHIVE OF MY OLDER WORK - AN EXHIBITION SPACE FOR ORIGINAL AND ALTERNATE VERSIONS OF MANIPULATED WORKS THAT APPEAR AT MICKMATHERSARTBLOG - A PARKING PLACE FOR SELECTED GRAPHICS USED IN OTHER BLOG SIDEBARS - AN ARTWORK IN AND OF ITSELF

In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks. This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images. Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr. In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com

I've been riding the bus from time to time. The regular riders know each other by name or, at least, by reputation and will talk to, or about, each other as if it were a preliminary rehearsal for a "Dean Martin Roast". On one recent occasion a particularly lonesome soul was perfectly willing to drag me kicking and screaming into conversation. I went with the flow and was exposed to a lesson in, well, space entomology you might say. Listening courteously, the man across from me told me that, "the fire ants down in Florida are getting worse and worse. Do you know they have fire ants on the space shuttle?" I didn't know that. Now, I suppose, I do.
