For today’s daily create, we had to take a picture of something we are not allowed to touch. In keeping with the holiday spirit, I took a photo of an early Christmas package I received. Nothing is worse than the wait for the end of December to roll around.…
For my remix assignment, I got the neat option to do the time of day assignment, but then throw in an unexpected character. I took a photo of a spot outside at different times of day, and layered them next to each other in GIMP. Then for the remix, …
A nice minimalistic daily create, recreate my (rather uneventful) day using a recently released batch of icons. It was fun looking through the various files trying to find what I could use to illustrate moments that happened. With over 700 icons to sort through, there were a lot of …
Since this blog is all about art in form of another, I decided to use today’s daily create to illustrate another form, The Art of War. I used a quote by Sun Tzu that I think applies well not just in warcraft, but in any kind of mindset. I just …

Oh boy, I actually got to cuss in a school assignment! For the Swede a scene video assignment, me and fellow ds106’er John recreated the iconic scene from season 1, episode 4. Of course, we decided to add our own spin to it using the resources we had available, …
An Andy Warhol inspired project for today’s daily create: Creae an “antifilm”. I guess in this case, it means create a film depicting the mundane. I decided to film myself doing the practically everyday (in the first world at least) activity of typing away on the computer. What was I …
