Rest In Peace, D’Angelo Barksdale
Inspired by Alison
I was so enlightened by Alison’s READ poster as it featured the now deceased D’Angelo Barksdale. Throughout Seasons 1 and 2 of The Wire, I could tell D’Angelo’s perspective on his life and the game was changing. He seemed unhappy back on the streets, as well as …
A Sketch of Grief
Inspired by Lauren
Going through all the old DS106 design assignments, I came across a really cool cartoon-like sketch. After opening the post, I saw that it was modeled after a screen shot from the The Wire. I think Lauren did an excellent job at sketching a shot from the …
Inspired by Trolling #2
My second and definitely not my last inspiration of the week goes out to Melinda’s “Triple Troll Epigraph” assignment. I’m in the pattern of choosing inspiring posts on assignments i never did. This assignment was a little scary to me. It involved a lot of thinking and creativity. As we …
Inspired by a Monster? #1
My first inspiration this week comes from the awesome John Meadows. I wanted to branch out a bit and scroll through blogs i haven’t in a while. Luckily, John was chosen. As i was scrolling, one of his assignments caught my eye. His “Album Cover” was great! Sadly, i didn’t …
“That’s Just Statistics”
One thing that caught my attention in the seventh episode of the third season of The Wire was the way Daniels switched the focus of the police to Stringer Bell. Its weird to me because I feel like McNulty always leads the charge when there is a new suspect or …
“I Sent The Postcards So You Know Its True”
The thing that I found interesting about the sixth episode is Avon Barksdale. The way he controls his men is amazing in a sense. They all obey him and they kind of remind me of puppets. The fear they have from him amuses me. They never second guess what he …
“I’m Still Tripped Off”
The thing that caught my attention in episode five of season three of The Wire was once again Jimmy McNulty. This time I kind of feel like there was a parallel to an earlier episode when Jimmy saw Stringer Bell in a college course. I was so interested by that …
Inspire, My inspirations in DS106
This was also inspire week. I was inspired by three great works.
I was inspired by Alison Thoet’s complete write up on McNulty. She had a sort of mashup on different characters that McNulty has played in other shows.

Inspiration…Emojis in Africa

This author made fantastic use of pop culture by creating an African watering hole image using emojis in place of real animals. The blended image is serene and peaceful. It is inspiring using your imagination to create nice visual designs.…
