Just Clown'in

From the Clown Moleskine i've been working on.

I need to use a better camera...

Sad Clown

Another sad clown piece I almost forgot about from  2011. Commissioned work for friend, turned out pretty nice.

Sad Banana

Pen doodle from work. Love sad things. Sorry for the bad quality.

Sad Caramel Apples

I have a thing for drawing objects with faces, especially sad faces. Here's some sad/droopy caramel apples.

Sad Cactus

Doesn't anybody want to give this poor guy a hug? I mean, they are free...

Sad Yoyoing Clown

Pen and ink sketch from my black book. Did this while I was in Florida for the World Yoyo contest. I was trying my friend some of the cool lines and such you could get from just using ink instead of having an array of pens. unfortunately the Higgins ink I was using some how ended up getting deluded down so some of my lines were more of a grey then a nice black.... also i spilled a couple drops of ink...

Sad Clown Series: number 3 rough

This is a work in progress. I'm still messing around with pen and ink and always enjoy how the lines come out when using this  medium. I'm trying to think of how I would like to color this. It's mostly between watercolor and pastels. Even thinking about leaving this black and white since it looks so good already.
size is 11x17 and is based off of a couple sketches i did in my sketchbook and moleskin
(I have a mini moleskin that i'm just filling up with clowns).
hope you guys like this!

I will also be in Philadelphia this friday for first friday events as usual, selling off some more awesome pokemon art and such. That is if it doesn't rain all day.

Sad Clowns

WARNING!!!! If you dislike clowns, don't read or look any further!

Okay now that we have that out of the way, I've been in this crazy Sad/angry clowns kick for like 2 months. Something about drawing someone sad that is supposed to be happy intrigues me.




This was originally just a sketch on a piece of 11x17 copy paper, but I ended up pulling out the pen and ink and playing around with it and trying to make myself better at inking. Happy with the outcome, I decided you test out oil pastels. I have never used oil pastels, just chalk pastels, which i have to say has some major difference. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome of it and I'm glad i didn't give up on this piece.
