691_Clown
Today's topic is Clown.
I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
~ Charlie Chaplin
I had a friend who was a clown. When he died, all his friends went to the funeral in one car.
~ Steven Wright
Dare to wear the foolish clown face.
~ Frank Sinatra
I just love making a fool out of myself. I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years.
~ Hugh Jackman
I've always been misrepresented. You know, I could dress in a clown costume and laugh with the happy people but they'd still say I'm a dark personality.
~ Tim Burton
I'm one of the more pessimistic cats on the planet. I make Van Gogh look like a rodeo clown.
~ Dennis Miller
If by chance some day you're not feeling well and you should remember some silly thing I've said or done and it brings back a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled.
~ Red Skelton
Happy Drawing! :)

busy with household activities, least i try is post here.
to give 3D form via flat lines and curves is quite cool for an artist.

Music happens to be an art form that transcends language.

Advertising is the greatest art form of the 20th century.
~ Marshall McLuhan
In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport.
~ Julia Child
Reading is an art form, and every man can be an artist.
~ Edwin Louis Cole
I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.
~ Nick Cave
Disco deserved a better name, a beautiful name because it was a beautiful art form. It made the consumer beautiful. The consumer was the star.
~ Barry White
I think the short story is a very underrated art form. We know that novels deserve respect.
~ Neil Gaiman
Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.
