Playing with making cartoon avatars for today’s daily create. I have been doing this for years, so to make it interesting for me - I have wanted to play with Gimp Online for ages after Jaap Bosman introduced me to it a while back. I used the image a created yesterday for my upcoming CREATORIST Badge! 

Translation? ‘Mariana is a CREATORIST or will be soon…”

 The ancients foretold it! ( Playing with a neat generator, try it!) 

“Like most awesome and healthy planets,
it is organic, unexpected, and continues to iterate and evolve in front of our eyes.”

NASA has definitive plans to start moving DS106 to this amazing planet this semester.

Playing with Mosh App… Thank @ryanseslow for the heads up. 

We love @johnjohnston ‘s wee apps! 

This one is Flickr Lunes, try it!

With apologies to Walt Whitman. 

With thanks to John’s Fridge Magnet Wee App. 

I love my @gifadog and my dog gifs! He even makes audio gifs with the help of @johnjohnston ‘s plug in but Tumblr cannot handle that level of sophistication. And I need to try masking the top gif to stop it moving. It was down with an app   a while back. 

I personally prefer just to draw a dog in Photoshop! Don’t you? I played with the paint bucket tool after drawing it with a 2B pencil. The monstrosity at the top? I take no responsibility for it.

Watch  cortical neurons die as they are forced to divide by ruthless scientists. These horrific scenes will give you nightmares. Trigger Warning at minute 4.38. (Animated Gif by me from source video below).

A gripping tale of believing in creativity against all odds! Everyone thought it was impossible. Still she persisted.

13 Species of Thecla (genus) butterflies from Insecta. Lepidoptera-Rhopalocera of Biologia Centrali-Americana, an encyclopedia of natural history of Central America. A landmark and still often-cited work, Smithsonian Libraries has digitized 58 volumes that you can explore at electronic Biologia Centrali-Americana.

Still our most popular post, this GIF of butterflies was the first thing we had on Tumblr radar, which helped put us on the map. Thanks, @staff! (Though we appreciate that both our skill and the size limits have increased since then…)

Today is the 30th Birthday of the Gif! Want to learn more?

A chance to do another Vintage Tweet to the prompt of ‘I’m nervous’ for the Daily Create (a rather mysterious prompt, if I may say).

Well, this pano thing is harder than it looks. I tried 10 times and finally I got one! The moving objects/dogs/people behind the camera are clearly the Advanced Tutorial. For another day. 

A vintage tweet…TFW
