I've played a lot with these sequences and others like them (replace each
digit x with f(x)). A couple of my favorites are (because they have both
fixed leading and trailing sequences):

   - Begin with 1 and replace each digit x with 15x. This sequence starts:
   1, 15, 1575, 157510575, etc.
   - Begin with 1 and replace each digit x with 16x: 1, 16, 1696,
   169614496, etc.
   - Begin with 3 and replace each digit x with 7^x: 3, 343, 3432401343,
   etc.
