FearOfAClown2- Laughing In The Face Of Adversity

The original sketch of this has been festering on my hard drive for years and was going to be the original clown in "Fear Of A Clown". Poetically, he was used to form the sequel image when inspiration hit me once again. Best viewed while listening to "Smile" by The Supernaturals for maximum intended effect.

Cathy Savels 03 Oct 2007

Good Lord! Freaked me right out!!!

Artist Reply: Sorry about that Cathy, despite what you might think though, Chuckles is actually quite pleased to see you here. Thanks! ;-P

creepy... so shiny effect... nicely done

Artist Reply: The shiny effect is done by rubbing Vaseline all over myself. Thanks Lendl.

Sharon Randall 01 Jun 2007

I deinantly fear the laughter of this wicked looking clown....But i do love the use of the particular colors...making the entire image stand out...staring at you...

Artist Reply: Thanks Sharon. He's staring right at you specifically now. Give him a kiss.

Jacqueline Bishop 20 Sep 2006

oh my this would make me really afraid of clowns, well done!!!

Artist Reply: Thanks Jacqueline, I've learned to embrace the fear over the years. Now I'm just terrified of everything else in the world. Aghhh! The internet! Arrgh! My keyboard! Aaaargh! Aaargh!

Carl Huffman 03 Jul 2006

Incredibly good, one of the best digital images I've ever seen. EXCELLENT.

Artist Reply: Cheers Carl, nice of you to say so. He's cute isn't he?

Cindy Lambert 12 Jun 2006

Oh My! Um....is he available for birthday parties? He's GREAT! Incredible detail!.....ya know, they're doing fantastic things with orthodontics now. They even have invisible braces..... wouldn't compromise those devilish good looks one bit. Food for thought. ;)

Artist Reply: Unfortunately Cindy, several restraining orders dictate that he is no longer available for children's parties yet he still carves out a hansome living at various politician's homes (if they supply their own feather dusters). He's quite the cad.

Gautam Thoidingjam 01 Mar 2006

Wow!!! Stu just mindblowing!!!!

Artist Reply: Ta Gautam, my mind was blown at the time I recall.

Julie Lapierre 11 Feb 2006

A perfectly goofy yet sinister grin.

Artist Reply: If you ever saw me you'd guess where I got the idea. Thanks Julie

Chas Sinklier 27 Jan 2006

Dad? Yep, Stu - possibly the best clown work I've seen since the circus dropped me off near the sanitarium last week... Vistor's Day you know. This guy is just a little bit spooky, yet...

Artist Reply: Ahhh, fond memories of the Sanitarium. What a great place, I almost regret escaping. Thanks Chas.

Sergio Longueira 15 Jan 2006

You have taken my fear of clowns to a new level - mission accomplished, my friend. This is seriously so well created it's hard to look away, but I know this face is going to haunt me for a while. Thanks for giving me the Halloween shivers early!!

This is gruesomely fun! I've been wanting to paint a demented clown. If only I could find the time. Great job Stu.

Anonymous Guest 11 Feb 2004

i think you think you funny by sending me link to buy print of this hiddyus image. i wanted to let evryone know how unfunny you are for doing so and i would never buy such evil.

Stu Smith 20 Dec 2003

it was "IT" Cile. I know because I still bear the mental scars (as you can see)

cile bailey 14 Dec 2003

Clowns are in general frightning as you never know who or what lurks behind the mask. What was that Stephen King book/movie where the clown sucks people down the drains? Something like that. This is totally awesome. Cile

Megan Woods 30 Nov 2003

Dude, this totally rocks! I love his expression! And the hair! Wow, just wow..

Stu Smith 28 Nov 2003

Cheers Scott and Dom! I ought to post the version I made of this as a promotional poster for a burger chain... any votes?

scott spillman 20 Nov 2003

I love this. It's FANTASTIC!!!

Dominic Shooter 15 Nov 2003

Anonymous Guest 31 Oct 2003

obvously there are young children seeing this and you should be responsable when they are liking what you have done. i think you shoud take down this picture or make it on private website where children dont see

Stu Smith 12 Oct 2003

Yvette, three things; 1) My website is desparately in need of updating. 2) I'm honoured to have you as a fan, but I'm really looking for stalkers. 3) I'm as ugly as a bulldog licking wee off a nettle.

Keith Goodson 13 Sep 2003

Hey Stu, My kid love your site. They think the Clowns are cool. They always want to get online and see it. Great work ! I Had teeth like that...thank God for braces!!!

Anonymous Guest 13 Aug 2003

Jordan Lewerissa 09 Aug 2003

...get over 'hear'? God, it's too early for me to be typing. Oh well, here's another rating!

Jordan Lewerissa 09 Aug 2003

Incredible work, Stu. Sorry it took me so long to get over hear and comment. I can't get over the level of detail you use - individual sweat drops from individual skin pores... You're a madman. A very skillful madman.

Lucas Seven 04 Aug 2003

It deserves another comment...I just showed it to my Mother-In-Law, and she hated it, which means...Well done, Stu!

Lucas Seven 03 Aug 2003

I was never afraid of clowns until I saw this! This should be the "Insane Clown Posse"'s next album cover! Image rating: Masterpiece squared !!!

You've done it again, Stu! I love the detail in the eyes and the jagged teeth set in a drooling mouth! Very C--R--E--E--P--Y!

Stu Smith 19 Jul 2003

Thanks to everyone for commenting, my friends, and even you annony mouses. Don't stop !!! :-))

Rodney Smith 18 Jul 2003

If you had have been involved in creating the TV version of "It" then I'd be carrying around even more clown-based trauma than I already am. Deliciously gross, Stuey! Very polished, too.
