Oh phew! I saw your title with the word 'clown' and thought, 'no, I've misread the prompt word again' but then I saw you said it was cruel. I already had sketched out 'cruel' and didn't want to have to add a clown at this late stage!

I love your clown and it must be therapeutic to make your backgrounds, the repeating lines look so wonderful and I bet making them takes you out of your head.

Another great one.

I want to join your contest but no time AND I am doing a collab this week for #sndbox so I can only do so much, but I will try again if you keep offering it as a contest. It's a good idea for sure.
