Wish I could still draw, I've always had a secret hardon for the harliquin look XD

I haven't been to a Circus in forever, one used to set up in the giant park down the road from where I used to live, I was always somewhat intimidated though, but that's probably my social phobia mixed with vertigo from being on those really high up stair like seats you can see the floor through that they always have the crowd on in Circuses >>;

me neither which is sad cause I LOVE circuses. I really wan to go to one that has the "freaks". I just really find them so inspiring and beautiful in their own way. They have a lot of balls to go through what they do. Ive been to carnivals, but only the one every year in my tiny town.

Ah well. Someday Ill go to a real circus, until them I'm stuck drawing them :3

I've always felt sorry for "freaks" I suppose some enjoy their work but I just feel so sad that they kinda have little choice in the matter if they want to make a living. The Elephant man kinda had that affect on me after I read about him in an ancient book mum has in the bookshelf.

I could probably go to one fairly easily, that same Circus sets up in the old racetrack grounds every year, and also for some reason changes it's name annually, I believe it's currently the Netherland's national circus or something along those lines. But I don't really have anyone I could go with so it's a bit too intimidating x3

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Yeah, I feel a bit bad for them too, but they do what they can to make a living and that's very inspiring to me. That and I'm more interested in learning about them then I would be some random passer bye or something.
I'd totes go with you but I live all the way out in central Missouri, USA Dx

I'll just have to shove the circus on an island and pull it over the ocean with my teeth then...though that will first require bastardising physics, I'll work on it x3

I'm surprised though that I get a circus and you don't, since I live literally in the middle of nowhere, where all we have of note is cider and cows.
