Clown #12 - The Lass - For Pi Day and Saint Patrick's Day this March!

I went with a bit of a mash up and combined a month of festivities that are particular favorites of mine: pie for Pi Day (3.14159...etc), and the verdant cultural richness behind Saint Patrick's Day on the 17th, not to mention International Women's Day!

So, 'The Lass' is smarted up in head-to-toe greens, checked with a clover, and bearing an abundant pie for the assemblage to imagine using as desired.

 

Here's my favorite, metaphorical whiskey neat raised in good cheer to the glory that is pie, Irish culture, and the diverse female half of the world. Here's to March!

(And then it's my birthday on April 1st!)

Clown #11 - Je Sui Charlie

On January 7th, Charlie Hebdo publication of France was assaulted with terrorist violence, and quality creatives and staff were murdered for their work's expression.

In response, not only the nation, but the world, raise their pens and pencils, brushes and markers, as a sign of support for the right to free expression, free speech, and the enduring power of the "pen" over the "sword"...

Fellow creatives and free-thinkers, sympathizers and loved ones, have all done their part to share in the response to the attack on culture. We all have.

For the following month's Clown, I chose a noble 'Strong-Man' archetype raising up the pencil - as so many French mourners did in Paris - for the country, for the world, and for the good power of the creative voice.

And a note from me from January:

 

Respect - Here's to true artists, free-thinkers, humans of liberty; the pen, or paintbrush, is indeed mightier than the sword, in the end.

"...Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night..." -From 'The Old Astronomer (To His Pupil)' by Sarah Williams

#CharlieHebdo - Charbonnier, Wolinski, 'Tignous' Verlhac, Cabut, Maris, Honore, Renaud, Ourad, Merabet, Brinsolaro - I honor you. These are my tools, my weapons of choice.
