don't clown around with booze, bozo
7''x 10''
colored pencil and sharpie on drawing paper
As usual, it took me forever to come up with an idea for this. I first started to play around with slogans, because then it would be easier to come up with a picture. I wrote several ideas down, but finally decide on "It's not funny to clown around with booze." As we know, "clown around" means to mess around and not take things seriously and it's certainly not funny to act irresponsibly in a car , especially after drinking or while drinking. Clowns are supposed to be funny, which is another reason I chose a clown for this project. The viewer sees the clown in a side-view and can't see what the clown is about to run into or hit.
I used Copenhagen Blue (PC906), Light Cerulean Blue (PC904), True Blue (Pc903), Canary Yellow (PC916), Lemon Yellow (PC915), Violet (PC923), Crimson Red (PC924), Spring Green (PC913), Grass Green (PC909), 70% Warm Grey (PC1056), 20% Warm Grey (PC1051), 50% Cool Grey (PC1063), 20% Cool Grey (PC1060), Black (PC935), Dark Green (PC908), Apple Green (PC912), and Olive Green (PC911). I outlined it with Sharpie. I got some reference images from Shutterstock and then began to change it to make it look differently. I did one version before that looked a little different, but it didn't look as nice, so I redid the whole thing.
