Today is St George’s Day, and today’s Daily Create celebrates that and asks us to “make some art to celebrate this auspicious day”. April 23rd is also Turner’s birthday, and I wanted to make something to mix these two days together.
I knew Turner had painted dragons, so I looked for inspiration and found this:

I loved the dragon detail in this picture, and especially as recreated by Arthur Burgess, and that gave me an idea.
I was sure that I had doodled a dragon at some point, and sure enough I had:
I took this image and uploaded it to NightCafe and asked it to transform this doodle into “An oil painting in the style of Turner”. This is what it gave me:

I first came across Eliza in 1980, when an uncle gave my dad Gödel, Escher, Bach for Christmas. Dad loved it, and so did I when I read it (my father was a very slow reader, so I took to sneaking the book away when he was busy and reading as much as I could before putting it back by his chair ready for him to read a page or two in the evening). It’s a wonderful book about maths, music and art, with a deeper meaning about how cognition emerges. Dad gave me his copy when I went to university, and it’s still on my shelves now.
Then I saw Kevin’s create, and nipped over to Lunapic to see what my image would look like as a gif. Here’s two – the first from the kaleidoscope image and the second from the original.
Today’s Daily Create asks us to visit Kevin’s blog and make a poem out of the anti-spam words that you need to enter in order to post a comment.
Amusingly, Kevin has moved his blog to a new home over the last few days, and the new blog doesn’t ask for these words. So I stayed with the old one and refreshed the page a few times to get this:
Felt chop? Pleats do. Bidder ha? Shrews mew
Well, that’s better than some of my own attempts to rhyme!
Today marks the 13th anniversary of the Daily Create I’ve been participating in this since around 2016, often uploading my responses to a Flickr album. Here they are as a slideshow. Here’s to the next 13 years! You can participate as well – just visit the web page at 5am UTC or follow the @creating@daily.ds106.us on Mastodon.
