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

Alternate version of Visitors for the Finnish Sisters -

"Visitors (Alternate Version"
digital collage by Mick Mather
This was my original idea for Illustration Friday that appears at MICKMATHERSARTBLOG. This one is for Susu and Elegia and all who struggle with the task of turning an idea into an artwork.

Alternate Version -

"A Day After Punch Left Judy (Alternate Version)"
digital collage by Mick Mather
If you just popped in from my August 5th post at MICKMATHERSARTBLOG, I should say that I actually prefer this version. It's a lot more abstract in meaning as well as visually considering the red, background shapes that represent Punch. Is he passed on? Casually cast aside by the puppet master? The suggested, window-like features too, are they an exit for old Punch? A moment of growth and moving on for Judy? Hmmmm.
