17SEP24 Mirthquake portrait!

March 1—Day 60 of #Mirthquake’s Year Long #ArtPrompt challenge begins Month THREE! Today’s Word-of-The-Day comes from the lovely Jaime Joyce: #CLOWN! There have been so many clowns in pop culture, from real life friendly characters, such as Emmett Kelly, Jr, Bozo the Clown, @mcdonalds “Ronald McDonald”, @ericstonestreet ‘s “Fizzbo”, and “Clarabelle” from Howdy Doody, to creepy clowns, such as @sid.haig Sid Haig’s “Captain Spaulding” from House of 1000 Corpses, @davidhowardthornton ‘s @arttheclownofficial “Art the Clown” from @terrifier2_official , @billoberstjr Bill Oberst Jr.’s “Papa Corn” from @circusofthedead , “Pennywise” from @stephenkingsit , and the titular @killerklownsfromouter space… And clowns that crossover, like that Gacy fella. I guess @dcharleyquinn and @thejoker would fall in there, too. But my favorite clown of all time, bar none, is the one portrayed by Alyson Court (@acourtroom) in The Big Comfy Couch @the.big.comfy.couch … #LOONETTE! My kids have been waotching BCC for almost 30 years. It’s like she’s family. #Illustration by M Mrakota Orsman, aka @mirthquakecartoons #MirthquakeArtPromptMARCH23. <— new hashtag. Oh, and I’m going to try occasionally to tie this into #mascotmarch2023 this month (shout out to @kimberlandart and @ichallengeyou2a_doodle) but I’m already 60 days into this project… only 304 more to go! :) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQaV7fO_vk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy #thanksgiving to all of the #Mirthquakers out there in the digital wonderland. From #mirthquake, Realitychick, Milkshake, and Zeppo! Try not to make each other crazy this weekend! (at Mulvane, Kansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWrcupqLIvI/?utm_medium=tumblr

#hartmanmonstroween And #Drawlloween2021 Art Prompt Day 30. Commission projects took most of the day, so I kind of forced a “serendipity” prompt. “MUTANT MARAUDER” and “MONSTER KART RALLY”. You know I wouldn’t mind having a little scooter like this to shuttle around this Island Earth… Art by M Mrakota Orsman aka #Mirthquake. #onemoreday https://www.instagram.com/p/CVreFydLZw2/?utm_medium=tumblr

DOUBLE DUTY #artprompt for #hartmanmonstroween AND #drawlloween2021 Day 28: “WEBHEAD” & “THE SPIDER’S WEBSITE.” There usually isn't this kind of serendipity between the art prompts. I would have been foolish not to take advantage. And don’t worry, Spidey. I don't like browser incompatibility, either.

#drawlloween2021 #artprompt Day 27 “TWEEN WOLF (Ermagerd!)” I channeled my inner @lisafrank on this one. All that glitters is not orthodontic! Art by M Mrakota Orsman aka #mirthquake (Shout out to Mary Deese Hampton!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVjp5l8rGww/?utm_medium=tumblr

#hartmanmonstroween #artprompt Day 27. “OLD WEST GORGON (Medusa’s Lament) A tip of the artist’s hat to Ray Harryhausen, Joe Kubert, and Eva Hoover of @wichitacowtown ‘s #DixieLeeDancers for the inspiration. Had to have a heart of stone to survive the frontier. A Gordon would have had that in spades. Art by M Mrakota Orsman, aka #Mirthquake https://www.instagram.com/p/CVjohUPL-Qn/?utm_medium=tumblr

#hartmanmonstroween #artprompts Day 26. “JUNKYARD PHANTOM (Dawg)” If we learn nothing from the movie“The Sandlot”, we should remember that the fear of the unknown is so much worse than the reality of it.
