The Clownward Spiral

Sometimes a design comes out of titular necessity. Nachtmusic was one where the title came long before the image fleshed out... this was a pretty quick transition from title to image. The title fairly obviously comes from the Nine Inch Nails album "The Downward Spiral," and what a spiral it is. Straddling the line between creepy and cute, these clowns are pretty shocked at their speedy drain circling. And they'd probably rather die than give you control.

This didn't do super, but it had strong reactions from the people who liked it, many of whom wanted it purely to creep the hell out of someone. Hey, I'm not going to quibble with why people voted for it... all I know is that it's something which will move copy. I'm happy with how the whole spiral thing came out, and I'm happy with the reaction. Do feel free to give me your reaction at this here blog!
