TFTOBER day 1: "Can I Have A Volunteer From The Audience?...
Prompt was "Burst." So we have a human bursting through a paper hoop. And out of his clothes, it seems. I think Bill Peet's sadistic lion tamer in "Randy's Dandy Lions" is permanently scarred on my psyche.
"I'll have a volunteer from the audience. You, the teenager in the front row who denigrated my jodhpurs while I set up the cage. Get up here and show the audience who fits in whose pants now." *whip crack*
It says something about me as a girl whose dad writes circus fiction that I know what the inside of a 1940s circus tent, with the phosphor lights, looks like without Google images' useless efforts.
This piece is dedicated to Neil Adams and Joseph Clement Coll. I was wondering, if it was the eighties, and I was xeroxing my art for an APA, could I adapt to the format? Be like Eric Blumrich or Howard Cruse and hatch and stipple myself to death?
This feels like a spiritual sister to This piece I did for Fenchurch in 2014. Cruel guy transforming a scared victim into a cat for a performance in the ring, while the previous victims sit around them, being jaded and wan. One of these guys presumably lost a bet. I really wish I had thought of that coin toss the first time.
Materials: Card stock, pencil underdrawing, Pentel pigment brush pen, white chalk for forms, digital white highlights (not strictly necessary but I liked the pop they gave).
