^ Really strange and macabre but I would totally consider using clowns as an inspiration for designs. They're a good subject to pick details off.
You've inspired me Paradeyes!

 

[ParadEyes]

^I'm glad I have!
I know what you mean, I was hesitant to post these disturbing pictures, but I always find something very intriguing about vintage circus and clowns.

gius, it is lovely and the music is really VERY well done. Is your friend a trained composer?

But you should warn dog owners like me to watch it

the 90s, 60s and 70s are my main inspiration
and make a shocking mixes sometimes...im also completely inspired by songs music and lyrics and not how the artist might wear but what they are saying...

Schiele's work is amazing.

I always found Alfred Schnittke very inspiring. He was an extremely charismatic person and his music creates a lot of pictures in my mind.

Earlier I had a link to the same music but containing great pics too - but can't find it now The music is still very inspiring though.

Incredibly inspired by the opening title sequence and opening title song of Hitchcock's "North by Northwest." It's perfect.

yes he is classically trained

trained for many years but didn't get into the college he wanted, to study composition
doing very well nonetheless imo


you're right it is too sad though
they age faster than we do

Nothing in particular i guess they interest me as as a "theme", for illlustrations & stories.
