No Matter What Shape - The Archive

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

"Daisy" - A third image from the Crop Circles Series. What I'm doing here is taking some very, very small sections (about 100 X 100 pixels or less) of photo's that I discover while web surfing. This is a "fair use" exercise and a bit of my own throwing in with the Copyleft and Creative Commons propositions regarding free source and reinterpreting copyright laws (always read as: be fair) that the new media has well outgrown. The pixel size of this new work will, by itself, keep me well within the fairness arena. My process is to drag the cropped, found bit-of-image as far as I can into a 400 X 270 pixel frame and let the fun begin! Insert hours of manipiulating, building, adding, subtracting, tweaking and filtering to realize one possible ouput as seen here. Posted by Hello
