The great re-bagging, re-boarding, and re-boxing project is complete.

attendance cards + ds106 daily create

Very excited to see my little daily Attendance Cards being used and remixed via my good friend Kevin Hodgson and others as part of the DS106 Daily Create, a “a space for regular practice of spontaneous creativity through challenges published every day.” Here's my original, from the end of April:

And the first remix:

Followed by this fantastic bit of trippy by Alan Levine:

Which was made even tripper by John Johnston, in GIF form:

Which itself was then given a soundtrack in video form by Kevin:

So very, very cool: you may consider me duly honored and thoroughly chuffed.

Silver Age DC extravaganza.

Happy indictment day

Truly cool and nifty and fascinating – but can it withstand dogchildren?

In awe of these wire and resin hairpins by Tokyo-based artist Sakae:

"Monster, This is Your Life"

Finally returning to Lynda Barry's MAKING COMICS exercises (beyond my daily bastardizations of of her Attendance Cards exercise – perhaps a useful way for me to expand my brain in a decidedly expanding-challenged time. Barry's rules for this one:

"Paper, divided into six frames... each frame will take three minutes… you will be jumping around the page, drawing in this order: Frame 1, 6, 3, 4, 2, 5...

• 1. Draw the monster as a newborn in a certain setting.

• 5. As a kid engaged in some kind of activity

• 3. As a disgruntled teen doing something you did as a teen

• 4. As a young adult enjoying themselves

• 6. middle-aged, at work

• 2. At its funeral. It lived to be old. We can see its body in this picture."

My results:

Remind me never to use the snake-monster again: he was a pain to reproduce. Earlier (much earlier, it seems) efforts live here.
