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

"NTV" - Every time I walk into my studio there's a maze of boxes, shelves, drafting table, computer station, books, magazines, k-7's and a few thousand LP's to navigate. Most of the boxes are filled with the ton of mailart received from the late 1970's straight thru till now. I'm not very active these days but once in a while a Themed Mailart Call catches my attention to the point that I submit something. These days I'm as likely as not looking through some web site somewhere marveling and chuckling at the wealth of talent that's out there. A few favorites are RODEO.27 (previously mentioned); MISPRINTED TYPE 3; {ths} and TARTART MAGAZINE. I came across this piece, circa 1979 or so, and its a bit of a commentary on what it might be like if the Eternal Mailart Network really was the basis for a television show. I suppose my stacks and boxes of artwork could still make a terrific cable access series, but cable is dead, isn't it?
