Thanks to Tom for the props, because I didn’t know “8 Bit” from an interdimensional hole that could take me to an alternate universe where dinosaur descendants rule and plumbers are heroes. On second thought, plumbers are heroes in this dimension, as well.

It’s like a three-ring circus on the set as the Ram directs Water for Elephants.

Thank you to Tom for the use of the M&M’S® Star Wars ornaments, a gift from his sister Janet. Also, full disclosure, I looked at this guy’s far superior rendition of Cloud City on my iPhone to get a clue of how Cloud City looked, since in my case, one has to see a movie TWO dozen times instead of just a dozen to do it from memory.

This is my third year to create something every day in June for 30 Days of Creativity. Sometimes I’ve followed the themes on the site’s calendar; usually I’m more random. This year, I’m in desperate need of something silly and fun (just using a term like “desperate need” should be a clue), so I’ve decided to go for whimsy with my little ram. Today’s suggested theme was “Friday: “Which seat can I take?” Every Aries Ram will tell you: the director’s chair!
It’ll be interesting to see if I can come up with a movie to illustrate every daily theme using the ram, some dolls, and a 30-minute-or-less sketch. As for the sketches, as my co-players in “Draw Something” could tell you, drawing is not my strong suit. That’s part of what makes it fun for me–I’ve got nothing to prove, just want to enjoy it! I hope y’all enjoy it, too. And maybe even–CREATE!
