I really like clowns, the make-up and expressions - so many ways to draw a funny face, sad clowns, happy clowns, those overly large shoes, funny walks, they come with umbrellas and flowers and handkerchiefs. I'm not sure what there isn't to like, but perhaps they are a little like Marmite - you either love them or hate them. If you love them like me, you should pop over to the Gentle Author's blog Spitalfields Life. He posted some utterly stunning shots today by John Claridge - portraits of clowns at this years Grimaldi Clown Service.
Terrifying! However, I have a morbid fascination for things that scare me..clowns being high up on the list, so I will take a look at the link and probably have to pour a glass of wine afterwards.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I'm not keen ... I blame 'It' ... I can't like a clown ... I love your new header though :) ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteVicar and Bee - Hope my funny little friend didn't scare you too much! I'm sorry. Think it's a good job I haven't seen 'It'! I'm such a scaredy cat that I just don't watch any horrors!
