We’ve had 10 years of Daily Creates. We’ve had 10.6 years of ds106radio
#ds106 #ds106radio I just put together a makeshift Google Doc with brief overview of the 106th Anniversary Radio Marathong and a wide open schedule for folks to claim a time …
Lettering is communication as a base level– knowing what is being said, who is saying it, and being able to read it in the correct order. Do that and the comic is "readable". Pushing beyond (I think) is reaching for story-additive work in lettering, or at least art-absorbing.

I found another artist working in a remix/mashup vein, going by the handle Stuff_by_Mark:

He may have thought this Freddy/Freddie mashup was stupid, but I thought I might be able to outdo him:

Several weeks ago I was out for a walk and the proprietor of the neighborhood vintage clothing boutique called out to me and asked a barrage of questions about my …
Our friends at Creative Commons reminded us a while ago that there is a #GIFItUp competition going on. So I thought I’d try something with this Salvator Rosa image from the Art Institute of Chicago:
A warrior sits on a block and gestures #GIFITUP2021 #GIFtober #ds106 This needs some beats. …
There was a Daily Create last week about what was going on just off the album cover image. I think someone had Wish You Were Here in there and that gave me the idea to have Bob setting it on fire. I had used the Bob Ross Troll Meme Generator…
We listened to three audio productions this week on ds106 radio and discussed them on Discord. Here is what we heard:
ESC: Sonic Adventure in the Anthropocene
Episode One: Three Skeleton Key
CBS Radio Mystery Theater, 1224, Toy Death
I selected the ESC episode because …
I’m sure we all know about the cinematic classic, Bambi Meets Godzilla. So I decided to make a Bob version. This was just a quickie. I grabbed some painting sounds from a Joy of Painting episode, along with the brush-beating sound to make it recognizable …
In the back end of the ds106radio management system, you can see how many people are listening online, typically zero, and where they are located:
One day Nigel was broadcasting from the South Pacific and had gathered a good audience. Jim picked up the stream after …
I just had a few thoughts looking at some of this week’s creations.
Some pictures tell a story, some pictures tell poetry Most of my photos tend to be documentary, capturing someplace I was, something I saw, someone I was with. I suspect a lot of us do that. My …
I’ve never seen Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, but it is on my watchlist. And seeing that it is a spiritual kin to Godzilla, it fits perfectly with our Bob Ross theme.
I had the idea to populate a Ross landscape with a shark and octopus, because I though …
Our friend Thomas noticed the Godzilla trend that seems to be coming up in ds106. It was unexpected, but I wholeheartedly approve. So I had this idea that felt like it might work.
I had previously found a transcription of The Joy of Painting theme on Musescore and copied the …
I thought I should get the rest of my Bob GIFs out there before I forget about them. I did two earlier posts as part of this set, all of which are sequels to an even earlier set. This image has some problems, but I like the way it …
The other week on Twitter, constant source of ds106 inspiration Amy Burvall shared this video:
I had blogged about Guernica before, in an attempt to analyze it as a story. This video brings more depth to the painting, by analyzing the imagery and telling the backstory. The poetry in …
Today’s Daily Create said to “Make some digital sashiko.” Sashiko is explained as a way to repair clothing and in the process make it more beautiful. If we were to interpret this metaphorically, as something digital, what could it be? The possibilities are endless. I thought about repairing something digitally, …
I have loved the Godzilla Haiku since I first found it way back when, so I was overjoyed when I saw someone had made it a Daily Create. My contribution is completely lame of course, because I always end up counting syllables more than making poetry. And it’s the …
Today’s Daily Create prompt was to wear your flag on your hand. My flag is ds106, so:

If I was smart I would have clicked through …
Our friend @billgx shared a quote on Discord:
“There is never a penalty for doing more than what was expected.” -Bob Ross
with a subtitle: (if he did not say it, he should have.)
That made me think there could be a Bob Ross quote assignment. But since I’m supposed …
@ds106dc #tdc3516 My response for Today's #ds106 Daily Create is

The Daily Create today asked for a haiku about our favorite book. If we’re talking works …
Today’s Daily Create had us make a Mystic Symbolic Creature. I played around with it a little randomized a bit, and then “Bob” showed up.
I don’t know much about the Church of the SubGenius, but it sounds like some kind of cult. I just used to see “Bob” …
So I watched Bob Ross – Golden Rays of Sunshine (Season 28 Episode 4):
The first thing that caught my eye was actually in the comment section, right at the top: “I feel more supported and capable in less than 25 minutes with Bob Ross than I have in 24 …
We made a quick video for This Week in ds106 which while quick to make, did take some planning. Jim masterminded everything through OBS, which ds106ers with video ambitions may want to look into, as it’s powerful, cross-platform and free. I’ve only started playing with it. Jim compared it …
Our friends at Radio Eugene shared a happy little ditty from Soundcloud the other day:
Previewing some tracks for a someday upcoming radio sorta thing and the associative trails led here. And it’s only just Tuesday morning. https://t.co/ZtJwBXjVz0

I had a folder full …

I’m continuing to work on giffing in GIMP, and working on a sequel to my earlier Bob set. I did the above image following the same steps outlined in my previous post. Alan mentioned the alpha channel in the comments, which …
The Daily Create for today was to do a mashup of flags. There was a recommended app, but I went looking for other ones and found Fake Flag. This looked cool because you could take elements from multiple flags and layer them together. It’s probably worth further experimentation. Anyway, …
A Baddie’s Blog raised a good point about simplicity and minimalism:
I remember seeing a Doritos commercial where they were being very vague about naming the chip. However, they kept showing a bright red bag and a dark blue bag. They did not have to say the name, we all …
For our third ds106radio live tweeting session, we listened to a Radiolab episode From Tree to Shining Tree which did a great job of making science topics entertaining and relatable. In doing so, it used sound in subtly effective ways
The gentle, soft music + the forest sounds makes for …
