No Peel Required
Another ds106 Yam post. They are so silly, so I can’t stay away from them. I decided to move from the yam genre of films and try out the yammy album covers. This one is based on Phil Collins 1985 album No Jacket Required. In Take Me Home, Phil is definitely a big dorky yam as…

Hard Boiled #3 – Animated Comic Cover

I loved the simplicity of the animation in each of the four GIFs he created, particularly the Spiderman and Ironman GIFs which each clock in at only three frames each. There is so much time and…

It’s been two weeks since being attacked by Prof. Oliver during the taping of my final reflection on teaching ds106 this semester. It was good fortune that despite all the blood loss, he somehow missed my vital organs. It was a trying…
