Caulrophobic Clowns Go Downtown


Propofol Clown (Tribute to MJ), 10 x 10", Acrylic on canvas, 2009

"There's no space too small, too dark and airless and fucking hopeless, for people to crawl into." -- Nick Hornby (A Long Way Down)

"Well, you know, you want some kind of relief from the agony and terror of human existence. Human existence is a brutal experience to me…it’s a brutal, meaningless experience—an agonizing, meaningless experience with some oases, delight, some charm and peace, but these are just small oases. Overall, it is a brutal, brutal, terrible experience, and so it’s what can you do to alleviate the agony of the human condition, the human predicament? That is what interests me the most. I continue to make the films because the problem obsesses me all the time and it’s consistently on my mind and I’m consistently trying to alleviate the problem, and I think by making films as frequently as I do I get a chance to vent the problems." – Woody Allen, interview in Commonweal Magazine

"Clowns work as well as aspirin, but twice as fast." -- Groucho Marx

"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool."
-- William Shakespeare

"Can't sleep; clowns will eat me." -- Lisa Simpson

Jesus was his name in Greek but in ancient times his name in Hebrew was Jeheshuah, different spellings this one most common. He was seen by the Hebrew authorities as a trouble maker indeed some said much worse the Romans would agree. By some he was seen as the devil.
