A Farm School – an idea takes shape
or many years, I have harbored the desire to start a school and a passion to help kids find direction. I began working towards a Masters in Education and as I took education classes that focused on the rising difficulties of classroom management and remedial education, I realized more and more the call for an […] -
Designing with Tom Mix in Malaysia
I had actually started doing this design prior to the official start of #western106 back in October. I was starting to look at cowboys and media. Tom Mix was the tangent I was reading – who he was etc. I found these in my files as I was cleaning up things. I had forgotten it ... Read more... -
First Hi`s
Here I am again,
Trying to create something new and different this time. Something awkward, something can come from my heart, something I can say it is mine.
I am writing this time because i told myself, today is the day to start my daily courses on Ds106. I am hopeful and excited, wanting to be more creative and honest with myself.
The big bubble around me makes me so comfortable yet, blocks me in every aspect. I know, getting rid of it is the first thing I need to do.
Today is the day start something new and fresh. Join my little journey and show me your wisdom.

Will the Amazing Bionic Spine Cure Paralysis?
Bionic Spine — My First Impression And it is a major scientific achievement. But like me, when you hear the phrase you are probably thinking of a true cybernetic device. One that would do the work of the spine itself. When I saw the title of this article, Australia scientists develop ‘bionic spine’ which could help paralysed […]

Movie tralier mash-up
For this mash-up/remix I made a movie trailer out of two different movie trailers – Lets be cops/ 50 Shades of grey. If you have seen or heard of any of these movies then you will know that they are of two very different genres, one being a comedy and the other a dark romance […]

Real Life Meets Internet
This past week, after a rough restaurant weekend of Valentine’s Day work, some friends and I rewarded ourselves by meeting up and getting sushi. We haven’t seen each other outside of work for awhile so we talked a lot. Sushi was eaten, fun was had, and the conversation turned to one friend’s relationship. We haven’t […] -

An interesting Daily Create today.
It talks about an old song that I knew as by Joni Mitchell though it turns out somebody called Judy Collins sang it first. Who knew?
As I listened to the song ( the Joni Mitchell version, of course) I doodled a cartoon in my sketchbook by hand. The simple idea being that you get to see both sides of the cloud if you change location (or attitude). Yet, if you take the point of view of the viewer you see that ‘truth’ lies in both sides rather than one or the other. Kind of like what the song is saying.
I then wanted to ‘improve’ on the idea and simple sketch. I went to Strip Generator and created a comic strip there. Same idea, still simple but tidier, more words and 3 frames. I was able to use a line from the song at the end frame which may be seen as more amusing.
Just reflecting on where the creativity lies. The idea? The execution? The quality of the output? I had great fun with my wee sketch, yet it is so basic and simple compared to the digital comic strip. All I had to do to produce it was copy image templates already available and type in some text in boxes already provided by the generator.
I really don’t know clouds at all.

So Long, Internet Kid — It’s Been Great Writing You (and You, Too, Horse)
This post wraps up The Wild West Adventures of the Internet Kid, a daily webcomic that I started in January as part of the #Ds106 offshoot known as #Western106 and 40-plus comics later, I am bringing the adventures to an end (for now). I decided to make this FlipBook of all of the comics in […] -
My Nigeria, your Nigeria
These are trying times in our nation. We have as a people have gotten it all wrong. Our ideologies, our values, our everything. How did we arrive at this present situation where the dollar is about to hit 400 naira on the parallel market? And what do we intend to do? Sit down and apportion […]

So today the Daily Create hit 1500 daily prompts! A kind of a birthday, no? I thought I would play a little more with pixel art, I did the other day and liked it. And it is right for today’s celebrations as well!

Embracing Change – My reflections from the Towards Maturity 2015-16 Industry Benchmark Report
The last few months of the year are always exciting for me, it means Christmas is around the corner and everyone is in a good mood. It is also a time of the year when a number of L&D reports are published – and boy I love a good report! I was fortunate enough to read a […]

SCARS OF AGONY
It is one of those cold dry mornings that would readily incite one to hit the snooze button of the alarm clock and rest beneath the cozy comfortable blankets. But it is the same morning that this young man had been yearning, for over a decade now. The sun, along with a million rays of...

Japanese stab binding
I decided to practice Japanese stab binding today. Because you have to pass the thread several times in the same hole, it’s very important to make the holes big and even. Instead of stabbing slowly with an awl, most bookbinders will use nails and hammer. Not my favorite part! (My favorite part is the sewing.) -

A Gif in Time
This assignment required me to chose an actor/actress and two of their different roles and express this in a Gif. I was familiar with making a Gif as we had done this earlier on in the DS106 course. But first I had to chose which actress/actor to capture their acting roles. After watching The Hunger…

Finding Nemo Tale
Movie Mashup If I were to have a binge day watching Disney Films, which I do quite regularly despite being 19, Finding Nemo would always be top of my pile. It scares me to think that it has been out 13 years and in those years i’ve watched this film more times than i’d like to…
