I grew up in small town in Wisconsin close to where the Ringling Brothers Circus was founded. I had worked there at the museum for a summer in high school and one of the clowns, Mr. Silly Tickles took a strange liking to me. That's him to the right...or at least how i remember him now. He was a hugger, always had pockets full of candy and a dark, damp cavernous basement.....I'm going to stop there. Let's just say some experiences I had led to the inspiration for this HellBent graphic and I no longer can look at anything having to do with clowns without breaking down in tears....
