New sketches: Circus guys


I'm working on a detailed pattern with lots of figures in a circus theme. 
It is inspired by the quirky + very dense wallpapers of Saul Steinberg.
Above is Mr. Flying Trapeeze. We-e-e-e.

 
Here is Mr. Acrobat with a pennyfarthing.
I was happy with his hairy chest and the loose/unperfectness of the wheels.

Not to be nit-picky, but technically that is a pennyfarthing, or dandyhorse. Also, lovely!

I love the look of pure confidence and contentment on his face. This man is doing what he was meant to do. ;P
