Accidental Photo Art
Today’s TDC says Invariably I take unintended photos when grabbing my phone or those weird compositions featuring a blurred thumb selfie. Can you make/shae art from an accidental or unntended photo? I usually delete any blurry pics I take, but here’s a long exposure one I took at the weekend by mistake. It was very windy! Windy Findhorn flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license I headed over to Lunapic to artify it Artified […]

Motivation Out of Nothing!
Today’s TDC says: You may have seen the Tiktok trend where people turn everyday quotes into a motivational quote flyer. Now it’s your turn! Take a random quote from your day and create a motivational poster! I’m on holiday today, so ignoring all of the emails and Teams messages, so I took a pic of Cagney, pretending to sleep on my bed, and turned that into a poster Sleeping Cagney flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (CC […]

Put a bird on it!
Today’s TDC says: Seriously, pointing people are always better with budgies. From our friends at Boing Boing Pick your pointing person and put a bird on it! Enjoy. I decided to take a poster I’d already remixed and added the budgie to it: Your country needs you with added bird flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license

Do Exactly What the Creative Prompt Machine Hands you
Today’s TDC says: You have one creative task today. Do not stray from the instructions. Do not pass Go. Do not spit on the sidewalk. Do not disobey. Ready? Go to the Creative Prompt Machine and Turn the Machine On. The prompt it gave me is: Make a comic strip for that time Puff the Magic Dragon went to Machu Piccu only to discover to get home they had to enjoy a picnic of cheese and crackers. I cheated – it’s a busy […]

Today’s TDC says: Today, show your favorite time of the year! You can draw us a picture, share a photo you’ve taken, or even write us a poem about it. No Googling though. This is DS106 I love all of the seasons, but the autumn colours are spectacular. Here’s a picture I took at Ross Priory at the weekend Acer in Autumn colours flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license

‘Make Art, Dammit!’ a la Karel Appell
Today’s TDC says: ‘Make Art, Dammit!’ a la Karel Appell Want to see some of his real stuff? Check Artnet for Inspiration. We used a lovely abstract art generator for our masterpiece here, but feel free to use other media and get messy with real paint! I took a close up picture of part of an oil painting we have on our walls and played around with filters. Here’s the original: Abstract Art flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons […]

Roald Dahl Day
Today’s TDC says: 13th September is Roald Dahl Day. Make some art to celebrate this day – maybe a gif from one of his films, or a poster made from a quote from one of his books. I chose a quote from the MinPins “Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” ― Roald Dahl and found a gif I did a few years ago of a horse turning into a unicorn.

You’ve been hired to come up with a hand-drawn “We’re Open” sign for them to hang on the front door. Your design should speak to the spirit of the store, and entice passersby to take a peek inside.Tell us about the store. Show us your ‘We’re open’ sign. I asked NightCafe to make […]

Where is Alphistia?
Today’s TDC says: Alphistia is a geofictional country, you can read about it on its web pages. Tell us where you think it would be, if it had a location. Who lives there? What do they do? I cheated and asked ChatGPT: I think Alphistia would be somewhere in northern Europe – perhaps tucked away between Scotland and Scandinavia, in a place that exists in the geographical equivalent of a gap in the map. It would have a temperate climate, plenty […]
