Blindfolded, he draws an elephant that has no eyes. What could that mean? And elephants are his wife's favorites. Curious. This may seem like a copy of @dogtrax and his daily create favorite animal. But I did all my own work, I promise! #tdc3045 ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] Michael Cripps

In these difficult times, family ties can fray around the dinner table. It's more important than ever to work to be our best selves. The dynamics in this scene-let speak volumes. ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] Michael Cripps #tdc3046 #ds106

The Benders "Aangby Road." Featuring such hits as Bend Together, Appa's Giant Saddle, & Here Comes the Moon (by Katara). I'm not sure why this popped into my head this morning, but so be it. Never seen Avatar? Why not? ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] #tdc3049 #ds106 Michael Cripps

Coronavirus vacation, Maine. Staying safe in more ways than one. The whole thing feels apocalyptic. Gloomy, wet, warnings, and a road that may lead nowhere. Shot in March 2020 at an undisclosed - and still closed - location. ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] #tdc3050 Michael Cripps #ds106

Mashup of Vanilla Ice & Guardians Would Star Lord be into Vanilla Ice? Hmm. Yo VIP! Let's kick it... #tdc3055 ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] Michael Cripps

Puppet or Boy? Coronacchio was a wooden toy, immune from COVID. After a fairy made him real, Dad said, "Be safe in the pandemic." Unable to tell truth from lie, he repeated what he heard on TV & the Internet. #tdc3058 ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] #ds106 Michael Cripps

Punk Floyd's self-titled album. Iconic punk band's cover remixed with face-swapped iconic psychedelic rock musicians up against "The Wall." Bonus points for naming the band members (l-r). ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] #ds106 #tdc3061 Michael Cripps

Taking cues from an Insider article title featuring 19 photos: insider.com/news. A "Pain and Anger" #ds106 Collage on the last day of May. 19 photos featured by Insider, plus George Floyd's selfie. #tdc3062 Michael Cripps ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected]

Mothra! Not my favorite movie, but I've been waiting to use a photo I took a couple weeks ago. We had a giant leopard moth hanging out, and I dropped in a vintage Hot Wheels Gremlin. Instant Mothra: Just add Gremlin! Michael Cripps ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] ds106 is #4life #tdc3085

Hologon V. A few islands dotted around an ocean mostly free of ice... Plants are shaped like giant blue geodesic domes. The skeletons of deceased animals are re-used as shells by small, functionally immortal rugose creatures. #tdc3413 #d106 Michael Cripps ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected]

In response to my expression of gratitude, a colleague sent a "You are welcome!" email this AM. Motivational posters often put the onus on individuals doing it themselves - overcome adversity, climb the mountain, hang in there. Flipping it. ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] #tdc3414 #ds106 Michael Cripps

Unforgotten Masterpieces, an '08 CUNY student project from my digital writing class, was a wonderful online exhibit of campus art. Lost to a CMS update. Student work: lost. Wayback Machine teases. What's left: screenshot and a broken URL. #tdc3419 #ds106 ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] Michael Cripps

I've been thinking about some of the themes in this book over the last X months. Opted to abridge Pirsig's classic as a haiku, though the nature angle - mountain passes - may not quite qualify. #tdc3422 #ds106 ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected]

Got wet? Got dry? No problem. I had an occasion to use ye ole' shop vac this morning. Lo and behold: It fits the theme for today's Daily Create! Coincidence? I think not! Michael Cripps ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] #tdc3430 #ds106

I was listening to Zappa's Joe's Garage and working when I saw today's Daily Create. I had two pens next to my computer, so I played around a bit. ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] #tdc3450 #ds106 Michael Cripps

Inspired by OpenGlam. Red wine left in the bottom of a glass, digitally remade into a Renaissance rosette featuring my first initial. Working with DS106 in a class, SPR22. Gotta lead by example a bit. #tdc3664 ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] Michael Cripps ds106 is #4life

Googly-eyed selfie. If one goes with a selfie, it seems fitting that one become the apple of one's own eyes. Glasses courtesy of The Apollo Box (sort of). Michael Cripps ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] #tdc3681 #ds106

Maine Miracle: Secluded pond ice on Super Bowl Sunday morning. 18" of snow over the last 2 weeks makes skateable pond ice a bit of a miracle. I laced up & had the pond to myself as snow fell! 3" in the forecast = here today, gone tomorrow. ds106 Daily Create now @[email protected] Michael Cripps #tdc3685 #ds106
