Evil Clown Illustration. "Tickles The Clown" (Click image to view larger)
I've been invited to speak in Ohio. Never have been to Ohio, but I am looking forward to it. I get to hang out with my art rep Scott Hull and hook up with my books publisher too.
To help promote the event they asked me to design a poster. They left the content up to me so of course I gravitated towards something practical, an "Evil Clown."
I'd been wanting to illustrate a doodle I had done of this back in February but just now got around to it. I've decided to name this character "Tickles The Clown." You know, you'll laugh so hard you'll cry, which is "Tickles" real motive after all since he is an evil clown.

The one and only clown I ever enjoyed was "J.P. Patches" he did a local TV show out of Seattle when I was a kid and along with "Captain Kangaroo" he entertained me with all matter of witty banter.
As I got older however I ran into other clowns who I didn't find fun at all. Frankly speaking they more or less creeped me out or just flat out scared the crap out of me. I've always wondered who was the first person to dress up like a clown and whether or not he/she got beat up? LOL

Awesome work as usual!
Re the iPhone wallpaper, you can also just navigate to the site in MobileSafari, press and hold your finger on the background, and save it straight to iphone.
Joey,
Yeah you can do that but the image will degrade. Something Apple built in is an automated compression on the iPhone. I find images loaded via iPhoto look better then ones done through the iPhone via Safari.
Thanks.

Von,
I've got to say this is one of my more favorite if not favorite 'mirror' pieces you've ever created. I has great depth and the viewing angle is frightingly perfect! And who can argue with flaming red hair? I could stare at it for hours. It's truly a 'carnival for the eyes' Thanks for sharing this amazing work.
Von,
How do you manage to achieve such a smooth transition between the colors of your gradients? Are you using the gradient mesh tool? If you're still making tutorials from time to time, I would love to see one about your coloring techniques. This appears to be all vector, am I right? It's amazing as always.
Thanks.
Jeremy
Really great poster. I love the typeface you used for "Von Glitschka". What font is that?
Roach,
The type face for "Von Glitschka" is called "Tideway Script" by Letterhead Fonts.
