I've recently become interested in illustrating the circus and all it's mysterious elements..Inspired by vintage circus illustrations and my own photographs, I've started on a big piece which incorporates both burlesque and circus aspects.
The circus is something that has always caught my imagination from an early age. In this piece I want to capture these memories and bring to life a familiar, yet other worldly scene that most childhoods have been inspired by in one way or another - conveying it in a slightly abstract and surreal style.
Please see below the work in progress and circus illustrations that have caught my eye;
