10 Aug #CURSEOFTHEBIGFOOT

hey friends,

so when I was in Sheep Ranch I watched a couple movies on my iPad…and “live tweeted” them in my sketch pad.

here are the “tweets” from the first movie “Curse of the Bigfoot.” it got ONE STAR on IMDB…so you know it’s got to be a good one.

for those of you brave enough… I’m going to embed the film at the end. it’s at least worth watching the scene that starts around 3:50.
