Today was the first day of the entire summer group working on getting together to come together to think together, and brain storm. It was a beautiful day in Central Iowa to sit out under the shade tree and talk, draw, critique, change, forget, and finally come up with an idea and a story was born, its something beautiful about the relationship between a pencil, a person and how they interact... with a pocket to hold the story line.
Alex developing his skills of nose drawing, the tickle still seems to still be holding up the fine motor skills development. Really we started to think about the relationship between a pencil and the person, and how the relationship could get to the point of the pencil ending up in the nose, and well, someone had to provide visual aid.
In the History of Pockets we are developing the idea of creating images that mix real world items which then change out and are created, cartoon-like items, and back and forth, so here Elizabeth is creating a cup to use in conjunction with the cup.
So what do you think this is? Well really its part of the newest animation, the history of Carp, or the history or the Giant Turtle, or well, you can think about it and come and visit the Tiny Circus and see.
At the end of the day, all are tired and the sun is setting for tomorrow is a new day and who knows what will really come.
Tiny Circus members spent most of the day rendering animations in order to get ready for the
... collaboration at its best!
Charts to organize things
Pink insulation for the airstream
Torn dollar bill from mowing
Broken dining table 
and this
James the cat oversees the painting/rustproofing of the airstream's frame from a distance. Today, the Circus finished coating the frame and went on to attach the floor.
She's not a thing or a critter, but here is a picture of our lovely guest Liz, helping to paint the airstream:
Pogo the dog may be our unofficial mascot. Below, she presides over the morning meeting from the matriarch's position at the head of the table. In two meetings today, the Circus worked to form a more cohesive artistic vision of our show, and to discuss the collaborative nature of our work.
And now a treat for the eyes: a photo of last night's beautiful Iowan sunset.
Shooting also continued on the History of Pockets. Our team has accomplished a total of seven scenes thus far, and we hope to finish shooting within the next week. Below, Fai mans the camera while Mona and Tessa look on in glee.
Thus closes the week at Tiny Circus, as its members prepare for a well-earned day of rest this Sunday!
