What is so dark and scary about Clowns?
Is it the make-up? The malicious grin? The sinister way they look at you?
I don't know but this challenge was a bit scary to create artwork for!! I even got a chill or two as I was creating my own Freaky Circus Clowns artwork!!
I believe these quotes will answer the question from the famous and scariest clown we all know, PENNYWISE,
from Stephen King's novel and the movie, "IT"!!!!
TASTY, TASTY, BEAUTIFUL FEAR!
I AM YOUR WORST DREAM COME TRUE!
I AM EVERYTHING YOU EVER WERE AFRAID OF!
LET GO. BE AFRAID. YOU ALL TASTE SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU ARE AFRAID!
Well, after reading that, is it any wonder we have a secret fear of clowns?
So try, without fear, to create your dark and Freaky Circus Clowns this week!
Try not to scare yourself in the process!!!
I have posted a page with some Freaky Clown images as well as some not so dark circus images for those who want to keep it light for you to use in your artwork! Let your dark imagination be your guide this week!
Here is my Freaky Circus Clowns:
Digital art created from images from Pixabay, Adobe Photoshop Borders, and the Facebook Group Free AI Images
Creepy (in a good way) artwork. My piece is on my blog here.

Wow, your clowns are really cool Kym!
ReplyDeleteBut I think I'm completely off topic unfortunately, I forgot the essential word: clown...
Maybe because I've never read ‘that’?
Maybe that's why clowns don't scare me?
Maybe that's why I didn't read and remember the theme properly?
I'm posting my Freaky Circus anyway.
You can come and see it HERE
PS: I have no idea what the black rabbit represents...
Is there a myth, legend or book I don't know about?
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, dear Kym.
And thank you for all these great challenges!
Wonderful example pictures Kym. You hit me where I live...
