That’s all you’ve got to go on, “myth.”  It’s vague enough to be almost anything.  The myth that drinking Coca Cola and eating Pop Rocks will explode you?  The mythologizing of the Obamas?  Demythologizing the American jackalope?  The myth of global warming (if you’re into thinking like that)?  The myth that Bert and Ernie are gay?

And then there’s the regular stuff:  Greek, Egyptian, Mesoamerican, Oceanic, Chinese, Aboriginal, Vedic, etc.  Duh.

Late 80’s-early 90’s WWF, anybody?

Josh Brolin gettin’ paid with money that ain’t rightfully his from No Country For Old Men.

Swollen limbs and face?  Check.

Increased urination?  Check.

Vision changes/hallucinations?  Check.

Viagra’s unwanted breast enlargement–just for fun?  Check.

Restless legs?  No way, Jose.

The girl just wants to get out of Skid Row, alright?

This one’s simple:  just pick a movie in your DVD collection and create something inspired by it.  It could be a drawing of your favorite Ghostbuster, a song inspired by that time Aladdin split his stolen bread with the street rat kids, a sculpture of Vito Corleone with an orange in his mouth, anything.  It would be nice if it wasn’t something based on your favorite DVD, otherwise we’d all end up with Lord of the Rings fanart, right?  Right.

The hope is that since you went through all the trouble of buying the DVD, you’re passionate enough about it to want to make some art.  And please, nothing from your Laserdisc and/or HD-DVD collections.  That’s just ridiculous.

Groundhog’s Day (like in the movie) = five days a week, fifty-two weeks a year.

I tried to make this quickly. Gotta loosen up the old bones!
