Gah, my brother once dressed up similar to that for the express purpose of terrifying me last time he visited. He waited outside my bedroom window and jumped up and grabbed me when I opened it to find the source of a sound (him throwing rocks). He yanked me out the window and shrieked at me. ...Good memories.
a happy-go-lucky smile paints over a frowny face these sagging canvas lines that framing once held straight the myth of folly took its toll until the mirth, it mirthed no more swept comically into the void where once a glimmer gleamed its glow, laughter, with whom he once was close, she looks the other way.
I've been practising drawing by, well, trying to draw your pictures by pencil. I just have to ask: how long does this take you? It's taken me a good two hours and it's STILL not working.
That's totally awesome.
ReplyDeletebeautifully done
ReplyDeleteHeavy stuff.
ReplyDeleteTruly a horrible clown -- I'm afraid to go to sleep, now...!

ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFULL!!! YOU ARE EVER AN MASTER OF ISPIRATION FOR ME...
ReplyDeleteI hate clowns. I mean the supposedly funny ones. But I love the nasty and ugyly kind. So I have to love this one! Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteGreat light effects on the collar-thingy :)
ReplyDeleteYes! A scary scary clown!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy reading this blog :)
Are you sure this isn't the self portrait and not the cool skeleton man? Are you the creepy clown on the inside kinda guy?
ReplyDeleteI made a quickie poem based on your painting:
ReplyDeletehorrible clown
a happy-go-lucky smile
paints over a frowny face
these sagging canvas lines
that framing once held straight
the myth of folly took its toll
until the mirth,
it mirthed no more
swept comically into the void
where once a glimmer
gleamed its glow,
laughter, with whom
he once was close,
she looks the other way.

ReplyDeleteWow! That's the best ode to a horrible clown I've ever read! Thanks for posting.

ReplyDeleteCrumbs--
ReplyDeleteThis one and the previous awful clown I posted took about an hour each. The idea was to try and paint them quickly.
