This is very fun- go now to the Literary Clock  which every minute gives a different literary quote where your current time is mentioned.

Fun, eh? Watch it change every minute.

Save the text of one and find some way to depict what the passage suggests. Maybe with a photo, a drawing, or even resort to tossing a phrase in one of those generators…

I was distracted with work emails as I was doing this, so I didn’t manage to grab the text from the first couple of responses. But here’s the one from 10:38:

There must be a solution, there must be. Frantically I scan the cans of products stacked on the shelves. Stain Away. Vanish. There has to be a remedy. … I just need to think. … 10:38 OK, I have the answer. It may not totally work—but it’s my best shot. ― Sophie Kinsella in The Undomestic Goddess

I gave NightCafe the text, and you can see the image it gave me at the top of this post. I was amazed to see that it has got the spelling right!

Flower Pie Chart Art⤴

Pie charts. Bar graphs. Scatter plots. Can the representation of data be art too? Enjoy this scenic pie chart- what kind of data art can you make?

I asked for help from NightCafe.  First I asked it for a bird that looked like a pie chart, but I thought the image it gave me looked too corporate:

Next I asked it for

a circle with segments like a pie chart, all in pinks so it looks like a flower

I downloaded the result and put a circle around the outside. The final image is at the top of this post.

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!

I headed over to Lunapic to artify it

Do Exactly What the Creative Prompt Machine Hands you⤴

from

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 [sic] only to discover to get home they had to enjoy a picnic of cheese and crackers.

I cheated – it’s a busy day at work and I don’t have time to draw all that or find some comic strip software, so here’s an image from NightCafe

And you know what – apart from the words being nonsense (probably) it’s really captured what I asked it to do.

We are open⤴

Today’s TDC says

Think of a local store in your neighborhood. 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 me:

A hand written sign for a daily create shop. it says:

We are open for:
ideas
challenges
remixes

What it gave me is at the top of this page, with ‘e’ added by me.

It Starts in an A.I. Generated British Place⤴

Today’s TDC says:

Dan Hon wrote a clever script (and recipe) to train an A.I. to generate British placenames. There just could be places such as “Chorkwheal”, “Storton of Brook”, and “Kinindworthorpe Marmile”, right?

I chose Howelyple, and headed over to NightCafe. I asked for:

In a village called Howelyple, A lone cow stands in a field in front of a cow barn. There is a village church with a steeple and a scarecrow

The image it gave me is at the top of this post

Parcel Liveblogging⤴

Today’s TDC says

The Guardian published a giggle generating list of 18 terms describing the current state of tech. Use at least 5 in an uplifting poem or maybe a motivational poster?

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/aug/18/dickovers-baggravation-botiquette-18-new-words-tech-hellscape

I chose ‘parcel liveblogging’

The sheer amount of hand-holding that comes with ordering a package online is frankly unnecessary. You can expect to receive messages informing you of every single step in the process. Officially you will receive the “We’ve got your order!” email, the “Your order is on the move!” email, the “Your order has reached our network!” email, the “Your order is progressing through our network!” email and the “Your order will be delivered today!” email. Unofficially, you will also receive the “We attempted delivery!” email (accompanied by a photo of the corner of a shipping container nowhere near your house), and the email telling you to collect it from a depot 20 minutes away.

I asked Nightcafe for:

a brown paper parcel tied up with string. It has arms and legs and a big smile. It has speech bubbles coming from it saying “I will be here soon”, “nearly there”, “can’t wait to meet you” and “what is your pet called?”

You can see the result, including typos not made by me, at the top of this page.

Thank you for coming?⤴

During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge.

Today’s TDC says:

The DS106 was on the schedule the past three months for Equity Unbound’s MYFest26 (Mid-Year Festival). We set it up so each Daily Create was announced in their Discord Channel and also offered a drop in and create together session in July and in August.

This week is the last one for MYFest26…. so how about making some art to say Thanks for Coming to the Daily Create (spelling need not count)?

I’m not sure if any of them contributed there, but I hope they had a nice time. I asked NightCafe to design:

A thank you card for a mainly invisible group of people.

Here’s what it gave me – I doubt if they’ll notice the spelling mistake!

But, just in case, I asked it again, specifying how to spell ‘unseen’. Oh well.
