Clowns, of course, reminded me of the circus. One of the highlights of my youth was a family trip to see Ringling Brothers/Barnum & Bailey under the big top on the Washington, DC mall. I tried to capture a version of the old-fashioned circus poster -- the kind they used to put up on the sides of barns. The originals try to jam in as many different aspects of the circus as possible, so I did the same here. The images are modified Photo Objects. The font, appropriately enough, is Circus. The frame is from a Dover disk of decorative ornaments that I used to try to capture the carvings on the old steam calliopes and circus wagons.
