While I'm working on my Ultimate Sketch It photo (and getting darned little cooperation from the model) I let Saturday creep up on me. So here's a shot from my last doggie rescue run with a little help from BeFunky.

Bill Ries-Knight I got feedback from the genome/publisher about the difficulty sharing their content.

Bill Ries-Knight I got feedback from the genome/publisher about the difficulty sharing their content. The said they had no trouble sharing it from the g+ button. I tried again with no luck and sent feedback to G+. 
Just thought I'd let you know...

olga belov On the community page is a list of links - are you using a computer or a tablet/phone.


olga belov On the community page is a list of links - are you using a computer or a tablet/phone. There are ones there that will only work on phones/tabs and others for computers.

The challenge was "Crazy", right ? Well, I just about went crazy putting this together.

Panno in camera/XnSketch/Pixlr and finally GIMP.
(about an hour) phew...
Come on in - the peeps are fun.

I hope you like it and meet some nice people too while you're at it.

I hope you like it and meet some nice people too while you're at it. It's not about being "good" at it - it's about having fun and being adventurous.

It took me a while to warm up to XnSketch when I only had it on my phone.

Once I had it on my laptop and i-pad though I liked the idea of a "sketcher" program that anybody could use on just about any phone, tab or computer.
Here are a few images I put together. None of these took any longer than about  two minutes to do. 






I think I discovered #sketchgurusaturdayI by circling someone in the scavenger hunt community.


I think I discovered #sketchgurusaturdayI  by circling someone in the scavenger hunt community. It wasn't long after that I started seeing some really cool stuff and wanted to join the fun. I don't remember if this one was my first one. It was one of my favorites though and got me hooked for sure.

No, that was more of a teaser. This is an invitation. LOL

The peeps here seem (to me) to be a bit odd. They grow on you though. (and not like mold or a fungus either) Also there is a bit of crossover with other communities so you might see a few familiar faces.

Hi - same idea and mostly the same peeps.

Hi - same idea and mostly the same peeps. Just less typing and maybe some folks feel more adventurous since it's not public. I love it if you have a chance to check us out.

I tried to make this the cover photo, just playing around.


I tried to make this the cover photo, just playing around. I guess we cant have an animated cover shot. Do we want to just keep one or change them out now and then ? 
I really liked the one of Christina FWIW...

This started out as my favorite -but not one of my wifes favorite images from a selfie assignment in another community. I used LunaPic with a Warhol effect and since it's caturday too, well, this is where I ended up.
(it's better than on the cutting room floor anyway)

Hi Christina - If this worked I'll share it to you.


Hi Christina - If this worked I'll share it to you. I wanted (and obviously needed) the practice. I don't think I ever edited a movie before. Hope this helps.

I like to break out face.haluska.sk every now and then.


I like to break out face.haluska.sk every now and then. I did add the lettering and border with pixlr.com to this one.
The FACE FILTER app is interesting to watch as it draws the picture on screen as you watch. Line by line or dot by dot the image slowly grows right before your eyes.

I've been so busy - road trips and all sorts of stuff, and I feel guilty for not being more involved here.


I've been so busy - road trips and all sorts of stuff, and I feel guilty for not being more involved here. It wan't until I took a peek at the "photos" section that I realized just how much I've been slacking off. 
Sorry guys, my bad.
So- here's my best happy, springtime addition. I'll try to get back into the album later today. It's really awesome and if you haven't checked it out, you should. It's pretty cool seeing everything all together like that.

Sorry I took so long. Busy day IRL.

paula contreras Christina Lihani Thanks - this is working out way beyond my expectations.

One thought -  either for us or the community, a question.
Should we go forward as a private community or start over as a public one ? Just a thought - I lean toward public but I guess not everyone would agree and that's okay with me too.

I will try to explain what I meant.
You use words that cause me to be uncomfortable. Words like "Dear" or "Sweet" are only used to address someone you are very close to. In my culture  those terms signify a level of intimacy that is inappropriate when used with a stranger. 
I take no offense by your way of speaking. I think either you live somewhere that people use these terms more freely. If I'm wrong about that please enlighten me. 
Sincerely Ted

I wonder if we shouldn't have a page and a community. 
People could share either way then - but...
probably not a good idea to share to community unless they double shared both in and out ?
and they'd have to join to post or comment ?
on the other hand - they couldn't post on the page, but only share to it ? 
-----------
still just brain storming for now.

Here's your chance  to Name That Theme
Just post your ideas and you too can be a famous hashtagographer.

May I please add Sketchgurusaturday to the daily themes list page ?
If it gets too buy we could always remove it.

I like apps that use as few permissions as possible. This puzzle game uses none at all and is free.

Published by the London Science Museum, this app teaches a thing or two about communication networks (in a very abstract way) while offering puzzles both easy and difficult.

I'm used to seeing stairs while I'm driving.


I'm used to seeing stairs while I'm driving. Usually I can stop and grab a camera and get a pretty good shot. This time though the stairs were heading down the road too so...

Hi - sorry I jumped in and then out of the meetup so suddenly.

Hi - sorry I jumped in and then out of the meetup so suddenly. I was quick on the draw when I saw it was so close but then I realized it was a zoo thing. I have mixed feelings about zoos and don't think I'd enjoy it. Granted, this one is one of the better zoos (way better) but I just can't see me relaxing there. Have fun though.
