My trainee: “Which way did the clown go?” Caller: “I didn’t see, but he came out of the sewer so he must have gone back that way.” Me: “Did he say ‘sewer?’” Trainee: “Sir, did you say ‘sewer?’” Caller: “Yes. Down the sewer.” Trainee: ….. Me: ….. Caller: ….. Trainee: “…like the Ninja Turtles?”
Cloudy with a chance of clowns? I think not. Y'all, I’m up to my ears in these calls. I can’t decide if there are fools out there really putting on clown masks to terrorize people as a result of the news, or whether people are just losing their heads over nothing, or if everyone has drunk the koolaid and are all sharing the same hallucination. Who has a funny clown story?
Beginning in 1880, and continuing until World War II, Coney Island was the single biggest amusement area in the United States. For more than a century it’s been adored for the pure carnival fantasy of it, the mass congregation of its sideshow characters, and an atmosphere of devil-may-care lunacy. This classic poster was used by Barnum & Bailey for their British tour of 1898-1899, and served to enhance the reputation of this freewheeling national treasure in New York City. A visual delight as well as a historic document of great interest, this image was also published in the more common horizontal format. Bottom text reads: “Remarkable head-foremost dives from enormous heights into shallow depths of water, together with thrilling & daring aquatic & sub-aqueous feats of every description.”
“Carnival” ~ (everyone’s drawing Joker but I thought I’d draw Arthur’s more innocent clown before his life goes from crappy to super ultra crappy). @derwentartofficial Colored Pencils on toned tan paper. Ask me about my clown tangent, I dare you. I’ll explain why I don’t think #clowns are weird. _____________________________________ #joker #carnival #joker2019 #happy #silly #arthurfleck #clown #dance #toddphillips #joaquinphoenix #markbridges #costumedesign #costumes #renderings #costumerendering #coloredpencil #weliveinasociety #youwouldntgetit #jokerart #performer #batman #dcu https://www.instagram.com/p/B4iP9CLDZOV/?igshid=b1horwqmj14w
