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

Well, I'm darned upset with Picassa and Hello this weekend. The other night it gave me an error message and locked up everything on my computer - it took me 10 minutes to get all the programs shut down and then reboot. Even now, the program has stopped working entirely; so much for a beautiful thing I suppose. The support moderator mentions a "bug" in the program that they will have fixed in a few days. That post was over 15 days ago, I guess progress isn't what it used to be. In the meantime, I've been attempting to get an FTP Program working but, you guessed it, I can't even figure out what a "file path" is, or even what to save when blogger warns that you "better back this up if you make changes", among a dozen other overly-technical details (for me). A great, big, huge, gigantic Charlie Brown "sigh" from over here I'm sad to say. I've spent almost an entire day setting up an alternate blog called ART CRUTCH for the purpose of getting through this time of trial & trouble. I've not a clue as to how the two will work together but click on the link and have a look. Now, where the hell did I hide that old bottle of George Dickel anyways?
