Now that I'm done with my Spring creations (the last will debut on Spookytime Jingles this Friday), it's time to get a jump start on Halloween! Actually, as far as I'm concerned, it's NEVER too early to start on Halloween! This new fellow I worked on yesterday is gonna be named Zippo the Zombie Clown. I actually made a Zippo last October for an art show and sold the little guy in the first 5 minutes of the show! I've been anxious to make another - I may make a few of them in different circus situations. Seems like Halloween and the circus just go together in a creepy kind of way - guess because Clowns are so darn scary, they just naturally lend themselves to Halloween. Stay tuned for more Zippo in the near future!

Clowns are scary at least to me... but he makes me smile! All those those teeth could do some harm for sure! Are you going to paint him? Sell him?

He is SOOO cool!!! i am anxious to see him come to life in color. I am so impressed that you are working on Halloween already. I am still stuck on Spring! I need to get on the ball and plan ahead better :).
Excellent work, as always!
I'm really likin' this clown. I can't wait to see him in his colorfulness.
A new FAVE David, I had not seen the original Zippo! LOVE his zig-zag teeth and shoes!!!
Can't wait to see him finished.
I agree too ~ NEVER too early 4 Halloween!
Have a great week!

Clowns are completely scary - perfect for Halloween! I mean, Stephen King knows that, right? He is going to look amazing painted. :)
Oh David, this is really wickedly good!! Love the balance factor and the sinister look on his face. You know he is just up to "no good", don't you?!!!
You have to show him in paint now!!

I like the look of this "barely painted" guy. Good work. Oh -- bad news, I somehow deleted my art blogroll. Any suggestions on cool ones to check out?
my fear of clowns began when my 5yr old daughter had a clown music box that would just start playing on it's won..and ususally at 2am! EEEEK!
I love your clown tho and can hardly wait to see him all gussied up!
Clowns are scary, creepy and yet somehow intriguing! I love his beanie. Beanies are COOL! and his huge grin too.
Looking forward to seeing him finished.

Thanks for the compliments David!It's nice to have you stop by once in a while. Love the crazy look on this fella's face! The beanie on his head too! Reminds me of a good friend I had once.

Zippo looks like he will be absolute fun when he's done!
I LOVE CLOWNS!!!!!!!!!!! and the creepier the better. I fear nothing! Well, except spiders. Love Zippo. He is amazing. Zippo has groovy shoes too. And his spinny thing on his head. ya-baby! Terrific as always Chicken Lips!
Oh Marvelous.....What made you think of Zippo....the inspiration behind it is always interesting.
