For two months now, I've been testing myself, to see if I have the discipline to put something online on a daily basis. The venture is called "365", a part of my offshoot site nowords.org. Each entry is an image I have made using Photoshop, some as recently as yesterday, others a little older. It's also my first attempt at using a blogging tool that I didn't bake myself (blogger), and so far so good.

The images are open to interpretation. Some definitely have meaning to me, others are interesting, intriguing or I just plain like them. The process involves starting with some sort of seed - brush strokes, or a copied image, or a gradient, then filtering, tweaking colors, pixel-mashing and other fun Photoshoppery. Sometimes the result is - "Ah, exactly what I was after today". Other times, it's "Wow that really looks like X", and still others it's simply a matter of taste. I wonder if this is the first wordless blog (that does not rely on photographs). It needs a trendy categorization, like imgblog or nonblog or something snappier. It even sports an atom XML feed, to keep up with the Joneses.
