No Matter What Shape - The Archive

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Syracuse, New York, United States

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

A peek at the first layer -

"Complicated (Original Photograph)"
photograph by Mick Mather
If you were just looking at the finished image at my daily weblog, MICKMATHERSARTBLOG, this is the original photograph of a children's toy that was taken at a dentists office. It's a little bit dark and the process of cropping and resizing leaves a diffused, smoky-looking set of shadows behind. So the color balance was modified, making the image brighter and sharper. The next step was to run it through another filter ...

"Complicated (Alternate Version)"
digitally manipulated photograph by Mick Mather
... the result of that process - running the photograph through a filter - revealed a diamond pattern that was layered over the original photo. This alternate version wasn't completely satisfactory and I decided not to use it. Instead I went with the manipulation at 100% as seen here in the finished piece at MICKMATHERSARTBLOG.
