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

As we begin the countdown to a fresh start and the beginning of a brand new year, I found this image to be somewhat telling, both as a commentary on certain recent events in 2007 as well as a good bit of solid advice for 2008. Before I close with the obvious, I do want to take a moment to sing the praises of a fabulous pdf magazine: twohendredby200, wherein this image - by Sam Williams - was found on page 16 of issue #8 <(click on the link to go to the FREE download page). Before I close, let me also point out one fabulous resource for this type of online magazine, PDF-MAGS.COM, where you could easily get lost for days, weeks or months! Now, it's time to wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! In particular, Leo and Kiki ... this ones for you two crazy kids with that old caveat: "be careful what you wish for!" - or: "did you want chaps with that?" :D
