Car Mirrored Selfie
Today’s DS106 Daily Create prompted us to take an interesting photograph of a car, preferably with us in the image. I like how these came out.
Peace (and mirrors),

Music Themes In Morning
It’s not unusual for me to use music as my theme for some morning creativity — either making it or using music to inspire writing or art. This morning was no different, with my morning poem (with prompt of “sunshine” off Mastodon) leading to a guitar haiku poem and the DS106 Daily Create (“complete this […] -
A Room Becomes A Turntable
For today’s Daily Create, the prompt was to “remix your world” using an image. I had a photo of an empty basement, where my band used to practice, and when I did a little tinkering in LunaPic, the room became a turntable (by accident). And of course, a turntable requires some scratching. Peace (and sound), […] -
Four Poems: Moth, Silence, Flower, Flood
Here are four poems from today and yesterday. The one above is from the Daily Haiku prompts off Mastodon, where today’s prompt was “moth.” This second is inspired by a poem shared by Terry, along with some explanations and possibilities and the concept of a “silence map” took hold in my mind. A third poem […] -
ABC for DS106
Today’s Daily Create was to write an ABC poem, from letters A to E. Mine is about the Daily Create. Peace (making it), Kevin -
Daily Create: DawnRise
The prompt for today’s DS106 Daily Create was about a “dawn chorus” and I patched together a little song with an image of a dawn over a horse farm I drive by every day on my way to school. Peace (and quiet), Kevin -

Living In A Tilted World: A Fake Song From A Fake Band
This morning’s prompt at DS106 Daily Create had to do with using an old Public Domain image of a bunch of men standing on the deck of an old, tilting house, and to imagine them as a band releasing a song. I used Canva to design their “single” track, which I called Living In A […] -
DS106 Daily Create: Coded Art With John Coltrane
via GIPHY This morning’s DS106 Daily Create prompt (one I guess I originally submitted way back when?) was to find the background code of a website and use it for art. I perused behind the scenes of the John Coltrane website for mine. I grabbed a screenshot, and then used art filters, and ended with […] -
Chordiflora Harmoniosa
Today’s DS106 Daily Create prompt was to “be a plant” and so I thought, let me invent a musical plant that doesn’t exist. I used ChatGPT to help me think of some musical scientific names and then Adobe Firefly to create an image of a plant with a musical theme, and then Soundtrap to compose […] -
A Few Days Of Daily Creating
Here are a few morning art projects from the DS106 Daily Create prompts. Each day is a new invitation to make or create or play. It’s a nice way to start the day. Peace (and fun), Kevin -
World Poetry Day: Finding A Poem
For World Poetry Day, the daily prompt at DS106 Daily Create was to explore poetry of endangered languages. I went black-out with mine, using a collection and some text from the editor. A simple idea: collect poems in endangered languages Help document how poetry exists The conversations and encounters with poets from all over the […] -
Daily Create: Coloring
The prompt for this morning’s Daily Create via DS106 was to use Scrap-Coloring to color an image or file. I’ve used the site before and it’s easy to get lost in it, particularly if the image has a lot of little details. I chose the cover design of my album of sound sketches from last […] -
Treble Clef: Shape Poem
This poem comes from this morning’s prompt off DS106 Daily Create for a concrete/shape poem. Peace (and sound), Kevin -
Make A Stamp
Today’s DS106 Daily Create by Sarah is to make a stamp for the Daily Create. I found an online tool to do that, and used an image of art supplies and the Daily Create lettering. The Make A Stamp activity reminded me of a song some of us collaborated on for the CLMOOC Postcard Project […] -
Daily Create: Gratitude Zine
Today’s prompt for the DS106 Daily Create, by Sarah, is to use Austin Kleon’s idea for making a Gratitude Zine through art. I created a front page of a zine, and posted it via Mastodon, where I share my Daily Create responses every morning, but I am grateful, too, if you have arrived here at […] -

Nethermind
This was my response to the DS106 Daily Create prompt yesterday, about naming that time between sleep and wakefulness. I often wake with snippets of song lyrics in my mind. (I had submitted the prompt after reading an interest post of sharing by someo... -

Radio Poem
This morning’s Daily Create was to listen to the radio, and grab some lyrics, and then make a poem. I used an online radio streaming site, bounced around, and grabbed some words. Peace (and sound), Kevin -
DS106: Remix Monday (on a Wednesday) Week 5
Oy. I completely missed the fifth and final remix for my Remix-it Monday that I started a month or so ago on a whim, to see if I could remix one single piece of art from the DS106 files every week, for five weeks. I was right on track for weeks one through four. Then, […] -
Wordsworth’s Words
This was for the DS106 Daily Create, using words from Wordsworth for art. Peace (and light), Kevin -
Acoustic Guitar and Christmas Tree
My neighbor, Greg, and I have been practicing my Gift of Peace for guitar and bass, and this shot of the tree, with the guitar and music stand, seemed quite lovely. I used it this morning for a Daily Create. Peace (and Song), Kevin -
DS106: Remix Monday (Week 4)
I’m doing a five-week, every-Monday remix of a piece of art from the earlier days of DS106. (Read more about what I am up to here). This is week four. So one more week to go. It’s unusual for me to stay with something like over many weeks time. I am usually a move-quick and […] -
DS106: Remix Monday (Week 3)
I’m doing a five-week, every-Monday (unless I space out and forget to get it done) remix of a piece of art from the earlier days of DS106. (Read more about what I am up to here). This is week three. For this week’s remix, I took the text of the image about remix, and used […] -

I’m doing a five-week, every-Monday (unless I space out and forget) remix of a piece of art from the earlier days of DS106. (Read more about what I am up to here). For this week’s remix, I took the text from the original image as a visual image, then ran it through a series of […] -
Daily Create: Ten Clicks In
I submitted the idea for this morning’s Daily Create, using River to navigate through a series of artistic tiles and end on a page of art. I made a short video of my excursion with my ten clicks. I found it interesting and mesmerizing and rather... -
DS106: Remix Monday (Week 1)
After a DS106 Daily Create prompt yesterday (Sunday) about coming up with a new day of celebration based on Stir-Up Sunday, I decided that a Remix Monday sounded cool. Then, I thought, maybe I should try to do it — to remix a single piece of art, five different ways, over five weeks, every Monday. […] -
Writing Flashku for The Daily Create
A few months back, I saw a reference to a short writing prompt called a Flashku, which had me interested. I found out more — it’s short flash prose, inspired by an image and borrowing words from another text — and this morning, the DS106 Daily Create shared out the Flashku prompt. See mine above […] -
DS106 Pledge of Creativity
The Daily Create prompt the other day – by my friend Karen – suggested a revamping of the Pledge of Allegiance recited in schools but I went in another direction. Peace (from the nothing), Kevin
