clowntastrophe! event

my circus punk at the clowntastrophe at delicious boutique! i went to the event opening, and the punks were awesome. and thank you to paul palcko, whose paintings at delicious sideshow were absolutely fantastic! there was a sweet accordian player and we stayed for the sideshow with a sword swallower, fire eater, etc, fun times.

update with some The Olde City Sideshow pictures my sister took:

clowntastrophe!

my circus punk is all done for the clowntastrophe show! some info about the show:

"This years main event will be held at the Delicious Sideshow - a new "only for the guys" satellite store of Delicious Boutique located at the Piazza in Northern Liberties. (There will be also art and HUGE SAVINGS at the Liberties Walk Location.)

Paul Palcko, Bird Reynolds, and Monique Ligons will display paintings of "Sideshow" personalities at the "Sideshow" location.  As if that is not enough, there are about 30 additional artists, who have painted carnival "knock down" dolls, AKA "circus punks"

Special performances by Pavvel the accordion player, magic by TrickZone, Model and Mingle with ladies of Delicious Corsets, AND members of The Olde City Sideshow! This is going to be crazy. "

clowntastrophe sneak peek

sneak peek!  these are all the blank circus punks for the clowntastrophe show.  i was thrilled to pick one up and design my own, especially since i've seen and admired plenty of other well-known artists' renderings. plus, i love to have new experiences with art, especially different shapes to paint. 

and here above is my finished sketch on paper

as well as the sketched-on punk.

as of today, my circus punk is fully painted, and i think i might be beyond in love with it.  all that's left to do is the fur around the edge.  pictures posted soon once 100% complete!
