Series 2 - Clown #8 - 'Jack Oriole'

The first clown of this series II back in April was the 'April Bluebird', referencing happiness, fresh, jubilant vibes and a spring-like brightness.

Here's a refresher:



This Autumn, I did a male version, if you will - 'Jack Oriole', which is an allusion to pumpkin-themed season of tricksters, confidence, the oriole bird, and it's child-like, playful nature.

The lingering Halloween festive spirits in me also left me remembering the beloved character Jack Skellington from Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas, and so it had a subtle influence... Call me quirky, if you like.

The oriole bird is also the state bird of Maryland.

Happy November!
