The Psychic!
Good one. Somewhat reminds me of the High Priestess of the Tarot.

Awesome piece @juliakponsford !!! I love that style!!!!

Awesome images!  I dont throw knives at my children, but I do throw them with my children ;-)

Swooooooon! How I love it all! I love all things vintage! So glad I discovered your blog! Following now🎀

What a good imagination you have, I congratulate your art is very avant-garde, you have so much facility to create very wonderful things, greetings and successes.

I remember when I was a child I went to the parks and circuses that came to my city where they presented attractions with optical illusions, witches' houses or acts with people with apparent deformity, they seemed terrifying but I kept looking at them, maybe that way of facing fear I was tempted to discover what was behind each act .. I spent a lot of time thinking and dreaming about those acts .. A great imagination and ability without doubt had the creators of these shows .. You made me remember a good stage of my children .. Greetings and success with the contest @juliakponsford!

The poor kid looks traumatised.

Interesting read. Thanks.

Awesome Contest.... I invited @revelationart to enter this contest. He is new to Steemit but an excellent oil painter in New York.

Oh how good you did this post because I felt repressed if I played the theme of the vitange style circus because when looking I found old photos and they seemed fabulous to take ideas but I was a bit afraid for what now questioned the circuses a lot from before and these days I saw the showman movie and I loved it and it happens that the next day you placed this theme for the contest

Interesting post!!! :-D

So cool! I love this 1900s vintage style.

Oh, this week got away from me and I didn't see this weeks challenge, it would have been fun. The winners were amazing and so is the piece you made. I thought straight away ars nouveau style poster, and that was indeed the inspiration.

I love poster/graphic arts from the turn of the last century, always inspiring and the colour stories were always so good as well, probably somewhat dictated by the printing abilities of the time, but the tones are always so rich.

The GIF wasn't unrealted, LOL!

Your posts are always the absolute coolest. Got some nice Art Nouveau influence showing there too. I love that style. 

I bought a novel a while back just because the art it contained was of this kind of circusy theme and the story was of an anachronistic flavor. Sometimes I'll buy a book as much for the story as I do the art. Sometimes even more so for the art. 

And yes, that's totes normal to throw knives at your kids, just as normal as a monkey on a bike. Gotta put the fear in them somehow. Train them up right - and early. Gotta show 'em how to be a freak just like you. 

Barnum & Bailey is no more, and while I hate the abuses towards animals, and I can only assume people too in that profession, I really do feel some wistful nostalgia for its passing. Let's just say, I'm glad that time in the past happened. It's left a really interesting mark on our cultural history.
