Spawning a Clown

“Shocked and amazed at the wonders of necroflesh? You’re not alone. For a limited time only, you too can have this handsome epidermis for the eensy price of your soul and a buttload of pain.” ~ Clown in Spawn (1997)

Being a fan of Todd McFarland’s Spawn (Jay’s Sketch of Spawn), I couldn’t help but push my carnival series forward with my interpretation of Clown.

For the uninitiated, here is a peak from HBO’s superior animated series:

Clown is one sick son of gun no doubt!  He is twisted and sadistic and pretty formative in my view of clowns in general.  I guess if you spend too much time in “The Shadow of the Carnival” you are bound to end up in hell.

Todd McFarlane

The above is my interpretation of Todd McFarlane’s Spawn character. Todd McFarlane has always been a major influence of mine and Spawn is a character that has great significance for me as an artist.  The story, mood, and detailed artwork were burned vividly into my mind at an early age.

The story of an artist who built a business empire on his character is something I find profoundly inspiring.  While Todd McFarlane as a business man has taken up most of his recent life, he has increasingly reasserted himself in the art and story of his flagship creation, Spawn.

If you have ever been fan or if you are just curious about such a momentous figure, I encourage you to take a look at this interview on his thoughts on the future of Spawn and his business empire:
