Fab Freddie
by paul bond November 1, 2021I found another artist working in a remix/mashup vein, going by the handle Stuff_by_Mark:
Killer Queen. A stupid drawing by a stupid man. pic.twitter.com/Og3mkYeAUm

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

“Just tap it…”
by paul bond October 8, 2021Our 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. …

The Dark Side of the Bob
by paul bond September 26, 2021There 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…

The sounds of science
by paul bond September 23, 2021We 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 KeyCBS Radio Mystery Theater, 1224, Toy Death
I selected the ESC episode because …

Bambi did it first
by paul bond September 20, 2021phb256 · Bob StompI’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 …

The only station that takes attendance
by paul bond September 20, 2021phb256a · Attendance BumperIn 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 …

Looking at pictures
by paul bond September 16, 2021I 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 …

What’s hard about this
by paul bond September 14, 2021I’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 …

“Nature points out the folly of man”
by paul bond September 12, 2021Our 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 …

One more post of GIFfing
by paul bond September 11, 2021I 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 …

Story cubed
by paul bond September 9, 2021The 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 …

Digital patches
by paul bond September 5, 2021Today’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, …

What Would Bob Do?
by paul bond September 3, 2021I 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 …

Ross the Boss
by paul bond September 1, 2021Our 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 …

A Different Bob
by paul bond August 26, 2021Today’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” …

“and I’ll show you how to color it.”
by paul bond August 26, 2021So 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 …

Down in the basement, that’s where it’s at
by paul bond August 21, 2021We 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 …

Waving the false flag
by paul bond March 20, 2021The 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, …

Simplicity and Ubiquity
by paul bond March 3, 2021A 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 …

There is unrest in the forest
by paul bond February 24, 2021For 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 …

Revenge of the Ancient Ones
by paul bond February 23, 2021For our second evening of live-tweeting with #ds106radio, we listened to some of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward from BBC Radio 4’s The Lovecraft Investigations. The story is framed as a podcast, The Mystery Machine (not that Mystery Machine), which might be a little confusing at the …

Well don’t you know about the bird?
by paul bond February 23, 2021Today’s Daily Create was a competition for the title of Best Bird. Since Big Bird was already in the prompt, I had to think of something else. I thought of Charlie Parker, but I’m not much of a bebop fan. I am however a fan of The Cramps so …
