    Some Symmetry

    by
    Today’s DS106 Daily Create was about creating symmetry art with a Western theme from an image. I found myself (once again) perusing the Flickr files of Alan Levine, and worked with two of his Colorado images. One became a beautiful bit of sunset lighting and the other, with a variety of filters, became something other-worldy. […]

    by
    I shared this out for this morning’s DS106 Daily Create — the theme was “hope” — after finding it in my comic archives. Peace (and hope), Kevin

    by
    Yesterday’s prompt for the DS106 Daily Create and Write Out poem was an invitation to collaborate on a tree-themed poem. We used Etherpad. Here is the full poem — thanks to all collaborators. A spark beneath the brittle soil, a seed awakes and stretches out towards the sun above Fibers thread their paths  burrow in […]

    106 Photos… 506 of Them

    by
    I always thought it was clever that when talking about my favorite creative act (taking/making photos) that I described photography as an act of deletion. In putting that rectangular frame around an object, landscape, animal, person, you are essentially removing everything outside the frame. With so much fervor of the “power” of generative AI to […]

    My campfire set at DS106RADIO Summer Camp

    by
    It was so great to literally and figuratively reconnect with DS106RADIO via the DS106RADIO Summer Camp 2024.

    Making Art From The Public Domain

    by
    I submitted the prompt for this morning’s DS106 Daily Create, about exploring a visual search engine of Public Domain artwork. I created the art image above, which I like for its textural oddness, by first searching for “trombone” (believe it or not) in the search site (called Public Domain), and discovering a strange image of […]
