Iris Compiet - What are you afraid of?

-Bozo and his balloon, graphite pencil color added in photoshop-
Bozo the clown was never very successful at making people laugh. He did however, to his delight, have an exceptional talent for evoking fear, anxiety, nervousness, angst, concern, despair, dismay, doubt, dread, horror, the jitters, pure panic, trepidation, chickenheartedness, terror, unease, worry, agitation, aversion, consternation, the creeps, discomposure, distress, fright, nightmare, phobias, presentiment, revulsion and what not.... add a balloon in the mixture and Bozo is the stuff that makes up my nightmares!
