This is a banner I did for a pulp fiction fan site. One story involved this bizarre cult and its equally bizarre cult leader, the King of Tears. The writer of the story wanted something "ominous but bloody but yet simple and yet spooky." So given the daunting task of making something that contradicts itself 3 times, I set about scouring the web for eyes with tears. I came across a clown, I think it was Pagliacci (spelling?) and was enthralled at how odd the clown looked banging the drum while he had such a mournful look.
