Shadows + Echoes: Volume 03

^RockstarVanity:iconRockstarVanity: reports, 3h 59m ago
The Shadows + Echoes series explores familiar concepts in horror photography, sharing the most striking of dA's dark and disturbing images to inspire your own macabre art.

If you are offended or upset by the use of fake blood, gore effects or staged violence in art I advise you not to read on. You have been warned! Also, the contents of this article probably aren't work-safe (although it depends where you work!) so please bear that in mind before clicking your way through to the article.

The Real Artistic Nudes

=just-started-bloomin:iconjust-started-bloomin: reports, 2d 5h ago
Hey everyone,
Well its time again for one of my feature news articles, this time its the turn of the artistic nude. I think all these photos are awesome and really show more than you can see. They show emotions. Thats what i think make an artistic nude. Anyone can take their top off and call it art but to make it artistic you need more than that and i think all these photos have that, i hope you all agree. Enjoy!

Coulrophobia or "Can't Sleep Clowns Will Eat Me"

~Polstar-Photography:iconPolstar-Photography: reports, April 16, 2008
"Coulrophobia is an abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns. It is not uncommon among children, but is also sometimes found in teenagers and adults as well. Sufferers sometimes acquire a fear of clowns after having a bad experience with one personally, or seeing a sinister portrayal of one in the media. A design study carried out by the University of Sheffield found that children are frightened by clown-themed decor in hospitals. This fear can come quickly just by seeing a clown in person or by how they look in pictures.

Not all sufferers of the phobia experience the same degree of fear." - taken from Wikipedia [link]

I have quite a severe fear of clowns - and it stems from two toys I had as a child. A hula hoop board that swung on my bedroom door. The clown on it always seemed to look at me with disdain when I threw my hoops at the hooks that were plastered over his body. Especially when I aimed at the one on his nose. Then my parents bought me another clown - a couple of weeks later I saw Poltergeist round at my cousins' house (they were bad - they would show me horror movies when I was little) - I put two and two together and came up with countless sleepless nights.

So now, in my usual manner with my fears, I've been collecting images of clowns to combat my fears. I'm also embarking on my 'coulrophobia' project in the summer - combatting my fears is always good!

So here are some of the images I've collected on dA recently - strange that so many are under 'horror and macabre' - methinks there are many of us who believe that clowns are evil nasty things!

I have a fear of clowns, when im stressed i have nightmares about them.

The worst thing anyone ever showed me was porn but people dressed as clowns.

Good luck getting over the fear, i'm still struggling.

Coulrophobia seems quite widespread - the more I look into it and discuss it with people the more I realise that I'm not alone! You would not believe how many scary clowns with big teeth I found on my search!
There's even a website:

Blight the clown is impressed that you are trying to deal with your fears, but also realizes, that the idea of what is true "clown" is not usually properly represented in western culture. The concept of a "Birthday Clown" and a mass murdering clown have tainted the true meaning of clown. Look towards eastern cultures and you will find that a clown is throughout history considered one of the highest forms of entertainment. What spawns much of the Coulrophobia epidemic is the fear of an actual person hiding behind creepy makeup playing with children. This is not clown, the closest thing we have in western society that would be considered mainstream clowning would be "Cirque Du Soleii" or "Slava's Snow show". Clown is the embodiment of play. Explore what a true clown is before you decide you hate or fear them.
