Introducing Sue Marranconi AKA Squeeze

SUE MARRANCONI AKA SQUEEZE

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to Sue Marranconi AKA Squeeze. Sue is from Meadville, Pennsylvania and is very active in clowning and sharing her gift with others.

I have a follow up post which will show the creation of her watercolor painting. Please take the time to check it out. Prints are available from the artist or from many of the print on demand sites. Sue also benefits from any sale of one of her prints. I have enjoyed working with her on our painting project and I am sure you will like Sue to.

So on with the interview…

1. How long have you been a clown?

I have been a clown since about the age of six.

2. Who inspired you to become a clown?

When I was young (6) I went deaf because my adenoids grew up my ear canals. I had already had my adenoids removed so no one suspected that this was the cause. My Grandmother had a heart attack and came to live with us. She was a wonderfully creative person and she spent many hours playing piano and teaching me to act and dance. I had thirteen ear operations and was not allowed to go outside at all. Grandma also brought a huge trunk of fun costumes with her when she moved in. I eventually regained most of my hearing, but never forgot the fun, theatrics with Grandma. I eventually went to clown college in my hometown of Meadville, Pa. when I was 18. I’m currently 54 and clowning is still my passion.

3. What people do you give credit to in helping you advance your art in clowning?

I credit many others with advancing my clowning, among them are the Erie Clowns of Erie, Pennsylvania. My dear friend J.T. “Bubba” Sikes also inspired me by asking him to perform with him at the grand opening of the Red Skelton Center in Vincennes Indiana.

Squeeze and Bubba Sikes performing

Vincennes is Red’s hometown and we put on a really fun Christian based program for the folks there.

Another great influence is Keith “Toby” Stokes who founded the Toby the Clown Foundation and the American Clown Museum in Lake Placid Florida.

I am an Ambassador to the museum and a portrait of me is painted on the ceiling.

I also credit my husband, Rick Marranconi for his support and his wonderful creative ideas. He also does all of my graphic work.

4. Where did you receive training & where did you get your first big break?

My first really big performance was opening for the Supremes in Erie, Pa. I just happened to know a fellow in the opening band and he ask me to do a little something. I got to meet Mary Wilson. She loves clowns! I got V.I.P. treatment!

5. How long have you been a clown? Are you still Clowning?

I have been clowning 36 years…that’s not even possible, I’m too young at heart!

I am still clowning. I am a comedy white faced clown. My clown name is Squeeze. I am called Squeeze because I play an accordion. I do not play it much anymore because of an aging back. I also do other characters as well. Several of them are Auguste clowns.

6. Are you involved with any clown organizations?

I am the Education Director for Clowns of America International. I am also the Education Director for Mid Atlantic Clown Association. I am also the Education Director fro the Erie, Pa. clown alley, the Eriesistible clowns. I am an Ambassador for the Toby the Clown Foundation and the American Clown Museum in Lake Placid Florida.

7. How do you feel your clown has evolved over time? How did you settle on the particular style and design of your clown or the personality you try to project as a clown?

My clown came about as many do. I think we all change over time. I sew, so for me creating my own costumes is part of the fun. My costumes are usually always quite elaborate. Squeeze is very much a girly clown. She has great morals and thanks those who say thank you! I am always mindful to make a good impression. I am always extra kind and loving. I always try to be the best clown I can be. I love the little ones and the seniors especially, but I clown for people of all ages and all walks of life.

8. I have learned a little more about clowns and I know there are different types of clowns, What kind of clown are you and what do you feel is your clowns most interesting characteristic?

I am a comedy whiteface clown. I think my costume colors draw in children and adults. I have often been told I am the most beautiful clown they have ever seen. Such kind words. I think the shoes and the nose are important too. I have a heart shaped nose and really big shoes!

9. Have you ever worked in a Circus and if so which ones? Do you have any great stories which you can share – feel free to add them.

I have never worked in a circus, although I would love to do it. I have had some wonderful experiences as a caring clown visiting patients in hospitals. One dear lady in the oncology ward once borrowed my wig! She said it was great to have hair again since she had lost hers due to chemo therapy. The nurses all got a good laugh and years later I got a letter from her stating that I made a difference in her healing by my visits. Another child with muscular dystrophy took his first steps to reach a puppet I had been entertaining him with. Mom and Dad had tried everything to get him to walk! These and many other like experiences are what make clowning worthwhile.

10. What kind of functions are you hired for example: conventions, parties…

I have been a clown teacher. At one time I had a clown program called Squeeze U, clown University through my local Arts Council. Due to funding cuts the program was discontinued. I enjoy corporate clowning and birthday parties. I do shows for many different functions. I am also a balloon artist and a face painter.

11. Do you have bits that are standard in the clown world or do you create your own acts?

I enjoy making up my own skits or putting a twist on many of the old classics. I am a very creative person and I enjoy making props and any kind of performance.

12.Do you use props? If so did you make them yourself?

I do use props and many of them I have created myself. I enjoy the creative process.

13. If you were in a parade did you ride anything? Bike, Unicycle, Clown car?

I have a clown car but often walk in parades. Depending on what my parade ability gag is for the parade. Sometimes I can get closer to the audience and work props better on foot.

14. Is there video we can watch of you on the web acting as a clown for us to enjoy?

Yes. There are several – Videos will be posted soon.

15. Do you have any clown wisdom to pass on to fellow younger clowns who are starting out in the business?

Wisdom…hmmm. Know that if you become a clown, you are creating a character that will be loved. Be the person that children look up to and adults respect. Always answer your phone with a smile on your face. People can tell! Ignore the haters. There is much love in the world…work with that! And my motto: Changing the world one smile at a time!

16. What are you long term goals in clowning? Example: Become a Ringling Clown.

My long term goal is to continue to grow in the art of clowning and to inspire our youth to fill our shoes. The average age of new clowns is forty five. We need to inspire younger people in our art form and help them become the future of clowning.

17. If you can say one word that summed up all your years of clowning – what would it be?

Things I didn’t mention…I am a CHARLIE award winner from Clowns of America. Charlie stands for clowns have a real love in everyone. I also have my Excellence in clowning award from Clowns of America Int. I am an award winning clown, face painter and balloon artist.

Oh and my one word for #17 would be passion.

I hope you have enjoyed this post about another wonderful clown.

I have a follow up post which shows the creation of her watercolor painting. Please take the time to check it out. Prints are available from the artist or from many of the print on demand sites. Sue also benefits from any sale of one of her prints.

Until next time. Happy Clowning!

Thanks to Sue for all her help in creating this blog.

Introducing Jeffrey Potts AKA Bungles The Clown

Jeffrey Potts AKA Bungles The Clown

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to Jeffrey Potts AKA Bungles The Clown. Jeffrey is from Canton, Ohio and is very active in clowning and sharing his gift with others. I will have 2 follow-up posts, the first will feature the painting I did of Jeffrey, the second one will be about the American Clown Academy which Jeffrey is co-creator of. I have enjoyed working with him on our painting project and I am sure you will like him to. So on with the interview…

1. How long have you been a clown?

I been Clowning since the age of 13, which means it’s been a part of my life for the better part of 30 plus years.

Jeffrey’s first look after clown school

2. Who inspired you to become a clown?

I wouldn’t say I was ” inspired”, but more like “given the opportunity”. Growing up, I was interested in special effects and movie make-up. I would often times create copy or create characters by dressing up like them. My grandmother would dress as a clown for church events and offered me the chance to participate with her. Being able to entertain my peers without them knowing who I was, became a magical experience and was the spark that ignited my desire to understand this unique art form.

3. What people do you give credit to in helping you advance your art in clowning?

During my early years I was self-taught. I did library research and watched videos of old comedians. In the mid 80’s, my grandmother signed me up for some weekend class being taught by a graduate of the famous Ringling Brothers Barnum Bailey

Dale Smith AKA Herky (he was watercolor clown #9 in my series and he also has a blog post about him.)

Dale Smith AKA Herky
(Herky was Watercolor Clown #9 in my series and there also is a blog post about him.)

Clown College. The instructor’s name to this day escapes me. In 1992 I had the opportunity to once again be taught by another graduate of Ringling…Dale “Herky” Smith. During that time, Dale and I presented multiple performances together, which became some great “On the Job Training”.

In 1994, I auditioned for a chance to attend Ringling’s Clown College, and was accepted for the class of ’95. Unfortunately I turned down this once in a lifetime opportunity due to family obligations. Over the years I have associated with many entertainers who make clowning (and other performance venues) their livelihood. These personal times of teaching have greatly increased my understanding and presence as a clown. I also make myself available to others who want to learn. I helped create The American Clown Academy because of my desire to share with others.

4. Are you involved with any clown organizations?

I do not participate in any Alleys due to the fact that there are none nearby. I have belonged to local Magic Clubs, but find that the particular level of growth and professionalism wasn’t conducive to my growth as an entertainer. I did at one time belong to COAI and WCA, two large clown organizations, but I found myself at a different level or having different goals than most who participate.

5. How do you feel your clown has evolved over time? How did you settle on the particular style and design of your clown or the personality you try to project as a clown?

I am a clown. I believe a true clown does not put on a mask or become a different character. Clowning is an extension of yourself, that ability to allow others to see who you really are. I also want my audience to see themselves, so I use the art form of clown to help my audience discover who they are. That’s the way I am in real life also, it’s always about the success of others.

6. I have learned a little more about clowns and I know there are different types of clowns, What kind of clown are you and what do you feel is your clowns most interesting characteristic?

Bungles the Clown is an Auguste Clown and the name is taken right from a thesaurus and means ” to mess up”…which seems to be what happens to my character quite often. I am a “jack of all trades, master of none”. My skills include Juggling, Balloon Sculpting, Magic, and Physical Comedy. I am a Prop Builder, Producer, Technician, Make-up Artist and Performer.

Follow Bungles on Facebook.

Bungles The Clown Web Page

7. Have you ever worked in a Circus and if so which ones?

I have worked for the George Coronos Circus back in the day. Now-a-days I do mostly stage shows and such.

8.What kind of functions are you hired for example: conventions, parties…

I consider myself a Family Edu-tainer which means I entertain and educate audiences composed of families. Sometimes performances for select groups (adults, senior citizens, etc) arise but I try to encourage full family functions.

I am what is known as a Double-Timer. I perform full-time and work in the steel mill full-time. My flexible work schedule allows for development of the business and the unique participation of my family has also allowed for great success. I am a family man, so much so, I incorporated them into my act so we could be together over the years. I never forced them, but allowed them to make their own decision how much they wanted to participate. Church is also a big part of our lives. I oversee children’s ministries and my wife is the a church secretary. I direct a puppet ministry and vacation bible schools. My children are involved in many ministries also. I think that our family is a unique twist on the idea of “the family that plays together, stays together”. Juggling what some would call a real world job with a fantasy job and including your family and friends in what you do is an intriguing thought.

Puppet Ministry on Facebook

9. Do you have bits that are standard in the clown world or do you create your own acts?

Every clown should be unique in their performance. I try to create routines and props that are unique to be, but I’ve been known to present a tried and true classic piece of comedy. Even when borrowing these pieces, the goal is always to make them unique to my character. I am well-known for using “pies” in my shows and also creating a unique, safe, foam rubber “pie shells” for throwing. By the way we don’t use REAL pie filling, either.

10. If you were in a parade did you ride anything? Bike, Unicycle, Clown car?

I’ve been in parades using props to entertain the audience. Walking in a parade as opposed to riding a float or bike, etc., I believe, allows that little bit of personal interaction that you wouldn’t have otherwise.

11. Is there video we can watch of you on the web acting as a clown for us to enjoy?

Yes there are several, I once coordinated the old “clown car” routine in a parade. We would start and stop periodically to load or unload all of the clowns into the “tiny” car. I do own a different clown car today and you can even watch us do this fun routine on the internet. (the video is posted at the bottom)

12. How do you pass on any clown wisdom to fellow younger clowns who are starting out in the business?

I have been honored over the years in many so many humbling ways. Many of the awesome opportunities have included lecturing for various clown organizations at their conventions. Teaching others who have a desire to grow in this art form is an incredible responsibility that I take seriously and enjoy immensely

I have had the unique privilege to participate in some special projects including the Grand Opening of the International Clown Hall of Fame

The Clown Museum Web Page

International Clown Hall Of Fame and Research Center on Facebook

and interview segments for the movie/documentary Greasepaint.

and most recently in painting from by Patty Vicknair

Original SOLD

13. What are you long-term goals in clowning?

I don’t always perform in clown. I have created different characters over the year for specialty performances.

I have recently created a fitness program titled FIT-IS-IT where I teach kids the importance of good nutrition and exercise. While I don’t do this in clown, I still create the comedy atmosphere using my animatronic (robotic)friend “WhooCan the Toucan”.

I am also the co-creator of the American Clown Academy, a unique camp style venue for clowns to learn and study their craft.

A Day In The Park In Auguste

Hello Fellow Clown Lovers,

Clowns – I love them! I love to paint bright, colorful, happy images and clowns fit right in with that.

I have painted clowns for several years. Until recently I focused on painting them in Acrylics on canvas, but I have renewed my love of Watercolor and I am currently working on a series of paintings that incorporates great clowns (most of whom I have made friends with on Facebook) and watercolor on small affordable 9 x 12 watercolor paintings. My goal is to create 75 watercolor clowns in the 9 X 12 size. I hope to sell thru Facebook or directly to the buyer and hopefully sell a few to the proud clown collectors out in the world.

Why I paint Clowns: For the record I do paint other things besides clowns but I have a passion and a love for clowns. I paint my clown images with pride. Many of the clowns I have met in person, or I am friends with on Facebook. Some I have sought out because I came across a photo I liked. Others have found out about my work through their friends and came to me. Each image is personally vetted. I am looking for a certain look or feel from my paintings. Not every image presented to me is right for a painting.

I am a skilled artist. I paint both in acrylic and watercolor. Neither of these mediums are easy or forgiving (especially watercolor). I have spent 40 years perfecting my skill. The fact that, I as an artist choose to paint some of the sweetest, funniest, most colorful, and always happy portraits you will ever find anywhere, is a matter of personal choice.

I realize that not everyone will get it or be on board with what I do. I realize there is a select market for my work. I am ok with this. I have faith that the clown and circus industry will surround me with love and laughter and purchase my paintings and prints. This is a very select market to sell to – I get it. You either love clowns or you don’t. I have been working for years to earn the trust of my clown friends and I will do my best to depict their clown persona, so that those who have had the pleasure of interacting with that clown in the past can remember and cherish those memories every time they look at one of my prints or paintings.

I am striving to be the best artist who paints clowns, I am following on the heels of Jim Howle (whom I have met and truly love) and Red Skelton (whom I wish I had met) I am not comparing my skill to theirs, but those are who I relate to. … It is an honor to truly depict the magic of a clown, to catch the sparkle in the eye that has delighted thousands of children. If you’re good to the clown world they will be good to you. Sincerely Patty Sue O’Hair – Vicknair.

I came across this cute image while looking thru some great photos that Beth Grimes and John Sayre AKA “JP Ballyhoo” had taken one afternoon while clowning around… I fell in love with the image. This has 2 clowns and would not fit in my 9 X 12 painting size so this one is actually bigger in order to do it justice. I had a little fun with the setting they are in and tried to mimic a park setting with flowers and critters you might find in a Disney landscape, full of fun and fantasy. I think it turned out wonderful and fun.

This image is on Canson 140 LB Watercolor paper 18 X 24. Each image will be mailed with a certificate of authenticity. Let me know if your interested .

The Amazing Herky The Clown

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to a great clown Mr. Dale Smith A.K.A . Herky the Clown. He resides in Massillon Ohio and is very well known they even have a Herky Day. Herky happens to be one of the clowns that has granted permission for me to paint his image. He is Watercolor Clown #9 Dale “Herky” Smith. I really enjoyed working with him and I am sure you will like him to.

So let’s get to know him better.

Herky and Nina Reunited

1. How long have you been a clown?

I have been a clown all of my life. I was voted class clown in high school, but professionally trained since 1987.

Young Herky

2. Who inspired you to become a clown?

I don’t know that I was inspired from the beginning. But I always loved Dick Van Dyke as a child. When I was 3 I was in the hospital for a few days and my parents brought me a stuffed clown. Still have it. Maybe that planted a seed?

3. Where did you receive training? & 4. What people do you give credit to in helping you advance your art in clowning?

I had always been intrigued by magic. In the 10^th grade we had a child development class and each one of us students had to do a lesson plan. For the entertainment, I wanted to do magic. Mrs. Marshall, the teacher, agreed that maybe a clown character would be fun for the preschool kids that were going to be brought in. It was pretty scary. I had no idea what I was doing.

The make-up was horrible. I used white shoe polish. (See pic) I began to read books and talk to people in theater. We didn’t have the internet like we do today.

The whole program went fairly well even though I was a scary looking clown. Before long some of the elementary classes were asking me to come and perform for them. Over the next two years I was doing shows pretty regularly.

By the time I was a senior in high school, the guidance counselor Miss Umbs informed me about Clown College. Amazingly enough I was accepted for the 1987 session. And it’s been a lifelong passion ever since.

For some reason Lou and Frosty (instructors at the Clown College) thought it always got a huge laugh when I big fella was playing the “Ma” in a gag

5. Are you involved with any clown organizations?

I belong to several organizations. Some local, some on a national level.

6. How do you feel your clown has evolved over time? How did you settle on the particular style and design of your clown or the personality you try to project as a clown?

Herky the Clown

My character has aged in place. Herky was bald, older looking clown by most counts. I had actually started out as a white face clown. But after training and character development, the inner self comes oozing out through your pores.

Projecting Herky is just self-promotion. Inside I am that fun loving; help anyone I can, practical joker that is Herky. Herky and Dale are pretty much inseparable.

7. I have learned a little more about clowns and I know there are different types of clowns, What kind of clown are you and what do you feel is your clowns most interesting characteristic?

I am definitely an Auguste style clown. Herky is very patriotic; he loves his country and his fellow countrymen.

8. Have you ever worked in a Circus and if so which ones?

I have had the privilege of touring with the Kelly Miller Circus when it was 3 rings under a big top. I’ve worked many shrine circus dates for the late George Hubler of the International Circus of the same name. I’ve done some local TV spots; the class of 1987 was featured with Dick Van Dyke on a TV special all about Clown College.

In the 1987 Dick Van Dyke Show this was the amazing set we got to perform on. trap doors, hidden panels, it was great

1987 Herky and Dick Van Dyke

9. What kind of functions are you hired for example: conventions, parties…

I still do public functions. Corporate events, school assemblies. Just about anything I am asked to be at. I have also mixed a lot of the clown and magic into ministry work. It’s a neat “medium” if you will to teach bible stories in an interesting manner.

10. Do you have bits that are standard in the clown world or do you create your own acts?

There are some standard bits in the world of clowndom, but I usually have to put my own spin on things. I have attended lectures, watched other performers, and although the material they were teaching was stellar, it didn’t always work for my character.

Ahhhh yes the old skeleton chase…..

11. Do you use props?

Props are a necessary item in any show. I usually stick to the basics though. I met a clown once who just kept pulling prop after prop after prop out of an oversized gym bag. After 3 minutes the kids were all bored and out of control.

Learning how to sew with the seamstresses so I can make outfits and props

11A. If so did you make them yourself?

Some props are handmade, many are off the shelf, and I have some really talented friends who are able to help with custom stuff.

12. If you are in a parade do you ride anything? Bike, Unicycle, Clown car?

Parades are great. I usually like to ride on some kind of vehicle. I was in an accident YEARS ago and often makes it difficult to walk long distances. Fire trucks are awesome. We have a HERKY day in Massillon Ohio every year at Meadow Wind Health Care center. It’s always a fun guess for the kids to figure out how I will arrive. Once by ambulance, motorcycle, horseback, antique car. Right now we are working on a miniature fire truck that will be used in parades as well as fire education at local schools and fire departments.

Herkys parade fire truck

13. Is there video we can watch of you on the web acting as a clown for us to enjoy?

There are several videos on you tube if you type in Herky the Clown Ohio they will come up. Right now I am on face book, and our web page is down for updates. We will be doing lectures in both clowning and magic and selling our products via the web. I’m always willing to help others any way I can.

Here are Dale “Herky” Smith web contact information

I hope you have enjoyed this post about another wonderful clown.

Until next time. Happy Clowning!

The great Ron “Toto” Johnson (repost)!

Hello Fellow Clown Enthusiast,

I have just this last week completed a portrait of TOTO, so I am reposting this blog post followed by another blog post showing the creation of his watercolor painting. The Great Ron “Toto” Johnson gave me the honor of painting his image as part of my new watercolor clown series. His painting is number #6 if you’re following along. Original has sold, but prints will be available soon.

Today we have the great honor of meeting one of the top clowns in the industry Ron “TOTO” Johnson. I first met Toto on Facebook when I was looking for photos. He is a friend of Billie Ballantine, whom I have painted and looking at Billie’s friends led me to Toto. Toto has been involved with Clowning most of his life and he is really a world renowned clown having traveled around the world clowning. He has had an amazing life let’s get to know him in his own words.

I asked him a few questions and I think you will enjoy his answers.

1. How long have you been a clown?

I did my very first public performance as a clown just over 35 years ago…June 21, 1977. I was 10 years old and had taken a clown class offered by the Parks and Recreation Department’s Youth Services in my hometown of Naugatuck, Connecticut. The class met for a couple of hours 1 day a week after school and we had our “graduation” as part of the Youth Services Fair on the Town Green.

2. Who inspired you to become a clown?

I cannot say any particular person inspired me to be a clown exactly…but I can say that in school I was part of the “Gifted and Talented” program. (The program was for kids in grades 2-8 who showed exceptional talents in the arts, sciences, etc) One day per week I left my usual school and was bussed to another school to study all sorts of topics. The teacher…Eileen Cooper…introduced me to mime, puppetry, and movie making amongst the dozens of subjects and topics we studied over the years I spent in that class. I found that I loved the performing arts so when I saw an advertisement for the clown class I just had to take it! I fell in love with clowning during that very first class!

Over the 35 years that I have been clowning I have been inspired by far too many people to even begin mentioning them all…but I will say that I have studied under and worked with Master Clowns Lou Jacobs and Frosty Little. My Dean at the RBBB Clown College was the amazing Steve Smith. I have studied under and worked with astounding clowns and performers from circuses, the world of stage performance, etc. I learn something from every clown I meet. Sometimes I learn something that is fantastic…life changing…and gives me a whole new perspective. Sometimes I learn what NOT to do! I do learn something from every clown…good and bad.

3.Where did you receive training?

My very first clown class…in the Spring/Summer of 1977…was put on by the Parks and Recreation Department’s Youth Services in Naugatuck, Connecticut. From 1981-1985 (my high school years) I learned a lot about clowning by reading every book I could find on the art. I also joined the Sawdust Clown Alley of the Clowns of America organization. I learned a lot from members of that club (Leo Desilets, Rob Iassogna, Joe Barney, and others) and by attending clown conventions throughout New England. I also learned a lot from members of the Harry Houdini Assembly of the Society of American Magicians organization (Larry Parsons, Walt Kilfeather, Joe Lantiere, and others).

In 1985…fresh out of high school…I was accepted into the prestigious Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus’ Clown College….a 10 1/2 week program…6 days per week…14 hours per day…that taught such classes as stiltwalking, juggling, acrobatics, makeup and costume design, arena choreography, dance, improv, classic clown gags, and much, much more!

Over the years I have continued to take classes…and teach classes…and conventions and festivals around the world.

4. How long have you been a clown?

On June 21, 2012 I celebrated my 35th anniversary in clowning!

5. Are you involved with any clown organizations?

I am a member of the world’s oldest clown organization…”Clowns International” (based in England)…as well as the USA based “Clowns of America International” and “World Clown Association”. I have been a columnist for the official magazine of “Clowns International”…”The Joey”…since 1999. I am also a member of “The Midwest Clown Association” and “Circus Fans of America”. On the local level I am a member of “The Quad City Clown Troupe” (a WCA affiliated Alley of which I am currently the Treasurer), “The Clem Magrum/Del Kiefer” Ring of the “International Brotherhood of Magicians”, and I am the Secretary/Treasurer of the Wayne Fanzen Tent of “The Circus Fans of America”.

6. How do you feel your clown has evolved over time? How did you settle on the particular style and design of your clown or the personality you try to project as a clown?

My first clown…at age 10…was a silent, cute little Whiteface. Over the years I found I was much better suited for the slapstick, fall down antics of the Auguste. I became VERY loud! I never “decided” what to do or become…it just happened over time. Just as our personalities develop as people…as individuals…my clown did too. My clown is an extension of myself. I am not “acting” as a clown. I am just being another side of me. My clown will continue to evolve over the coming years….just as I will too.

7. I have learned a little more about clowns and I know there are different types of clowns, What kind of clown are you and what do you feel is your clowns most interesting characteristic?

I am most certainly an Auguste! As for my clown’s most interesting characteristic…hmmmm…I don’t really know! I guess maybe I could quote something a newspaper reporter said about me years ago…

“He is like a Snicker’s bar…half nuts!”

8. Have you ever worked in a Circus and if so which ones?

Just 3 hours after I graduated from Naugatuck High School in Naugatuck, Connecticut in June of 1985 I was on a plane to Orlando, Florida because I was to start clowning at the Circus World theme park the next morning! I left that job 3 months later because I had been accepted into the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus’ Clown College.

I was one of 23 students from my Clown College class to be offered contracts to tour with Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. From my class 13 went to the RBBB Red unit (including me) and 10 went to the RBBB Blue unit.

After 4 years with “The Greatest Show on Earth” I made my first overseas trip to clown with Cirkus Olympia in Sweden. By this time I had married Rene’ Coker…whom I had gone to Clown College with, toured with on the RBBB Red unit with, and had a huge circus wedding with in Philadelphia in 1989 complete with elephants as bride’s maids. Rene’ and I toured as a duo on Cirkus Olympia in 1990 and then added my Clown College roommate and fellow RBBB Red unit clown John Winslow to our act for the 1991 season on Cirkus Olympia. The circus season ran for 6 1/2 months each year.

Between our 2 seasons in Sweden Rene’ and I performed at the circus themed restaurant “Carnival Plaza” in Tokyo, Japan for 6 months.

(Rene’ and I divorced in 1994 but are still good friends..chat on the phone a few times a year and are in touch very often through Facebook.)

I performed at the “Circus Circus” casino in Tunica, Mississippi for 2 years (1994-1996). I have also been a “guest clown” and done spot dates with such circuses here in the USA as Alan Hill’s Great American Circus, Carson and Barnes Circus, etc over the years. I still do some “advance clown” publicity work for Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus from time to time too.

9. What kind of functions are you hired for example: conventions, parties…

I no longer do birthday parties in people’s living rooms…but I am available for just about anything else! Here on the local level I am seen primarily at festivals, fairs, company picnics,school shows, etc. I teach clowning at conventions and festivals across the USA and the world Clowning has directly or indirectly brought me to 48 states and 23 countries so far. I perform at festivals, in stage shows, on-screen, on cruise ships, etc. I perform on the local, national, and international levels….sometimes as a solo act and sometimes with partners. I tailor what I do to the needs of the client…balloon sculpting, juggling, “meet and greet’, stiltwalking, magic, clown gags, etc, etc, etc. I do shows for 20 people…and I do shows for 20,000 people.

A few of the highlights from my international career have been performing at the first ever international clown festival in China, the 2nd international clown festival ever in India, and being the only American ever invited as an “honored guest” of Princess Stephanie of Monaco to perform at “Festiclown de Monte Carlo”.

10. Do you have bits that are standard in the clown world or do you create your own acts?

I use a combination of well-known acts…with my own personal “spin” on them, of course…and of acts I have created myself/with my partners. While these days I am most know for my solo western themed cowboy Whipcracker act I actually prefer to work with 1 or 2 partners.

Tot’s solo western themed cowboy “Whipcracker”

11. Do you use props?

YES! I have used HUGE props doing circus work and tiny props when working up close. My cowboy Whipcracker act brings the best of both world’s together. The act plays BIG but uses a minimal amount of props…which is wonderful when traveling overseas!

11A. If so did you make them yourself?

I have made many props myself but most of the time I buy them…either “off the shelf” or have them specially made. I am not the most handy guy with tools!

12. If you are in a parade do you ride anything? Bike, Unicycle, Clown car?

I have ridden in all sorts of “vehicles” for parades…convertibles, fire trucks, etc…but my favorite, of course, is absolutely the traditional circus wagons used in “The Great Circus Parade” that used to be staged in both Milwaukee and Baraboo, Wisconsin! I do not unicycle very well so I have never unicycled in a parade. I have walked stilts in MANY parades. I did not like stilts when I was at Clown College but once I joined the RBBB Red unit I started practicing and ended up walking 6 foot stilts (that’s me on top of 6 foot long aluminum “legs”). Within 6 months I was up to 9 foot stilts in the show. I ended up becoming the stiltwalking instructor at the RBBB clown College in 1988.

13. Is there video we can watch of you on the web acting as a clown for us to enjoy?

If you search for me on Youtube there are a few slide shows of me performing in England and China. I can also be seen in various videos relating to the RBBB Circus 1986-1989.

14.What kind of presence do you have on the web, FB, web page, blog…

My website is www.totojohnson.com

I have a personal page on Facebook but that is now only “open” to folks I reeeeeeeally know. I have a page that is open to EVERYONE…Ron “Toto” Johnson’s “Colossal Clowns International“…as well as a fan page that was started by a friend/fan in England…We Love Toto Johnson.

Ron “Toto” Johnson was also depicted in 1999 by the great artist Ron Lee. Here is the photo of Toto posing and the resulting sculpture.

Until next time. Happy Clowning!

Thanks to Toto for all his help in creating this blog.

The Amazing Sean Carlock!

Hello Fellow Clown Enthusiast,

I have just this last week completed a portrait of Sean Carlock, so I am posting this blog post followed by another blog post showing the creation of his watercolor painting (from the photo above). Sean Carlock gave me the honor of painting his image as part of my new watercolor clown series. His painting is number #5 if you’re following along. Original has sold, but prints will be available soon.

Today we have the honor of meeting and getting to know Sean Carlock, I first met I first met Sean, on Facebook, through another clown “Toto” Johnson, when I was looking for great clown photos.

I asked him a few questions and I think you will enjoy his answers.

1. How long have you been a clown?

I started clowning in February of 2000

2. Who inspired you to become a clown?

I never wanted to be a clown, it wasn’t something that I chose to do. I guess you could say that it chose me.

3.Where did you receive training?

I attended Clown Camp in Lacross Wisconsin, and learned mostly from doing.

4. . Are you involved with any clown organizations?

I am a member of COAI, the USA based “Clowns of America International”

5. How do you feel your clown has evolved over time? How did you settle on the particular style and design of your clown or the personality you try to project as a clown?

I am a firm believer that your clown is you. Certainly my makeup and my skill sets have changed and evolved but I am still the same clown I have always been.

6. I have learned a little more about clowns and I know there are different types of clowns, What kind of clown are you and what do you feel is your clowns most interesting characteristic?

I would be considered an Auguste clown though I don’t really adhere to many of the make-up “rules” or standards.

7. Have you ever worked in a Circus and if so which ones?

I worked for Ringling Bros. 133rd edition Red show in ’03 called Bailey’s Comet.

8. What kind of functions are you hired for example: conventions, parties…

I do fairs and festivals, company parties and picnics, the occasional birthday party but the majority of my work is for corporations.

9. Do you have bits that are standard in the clown world or do you create your own acts?

I try to come up with my own ideas for new routines or maybe just a fresh spin on something old.

10. Do you use props?

I love props!

10A. If so did you make them yourself?

I make some of the things that I use and have recently gotten back into carving foam props.

11. If you are in a parade do you ride anything? Bike, Unicycle, Clown car?

I prefer to walk so I can get up close and personal with the crowds. It can ba a challenge to give high fives from a moving vehicle.

12. Is there video we can watch of you on the web acting as a clown for us to enjoy?

13. What kind of presence do you have on the web, FB, web page, blog…

Hello Fellow Clown Lovers,

Clowns – I love them! I love to paint bright, colorful, happy images and clowns fit right in with that.

Who is Lou Jacobs? Wikipedia information on Lou Jacobs click here…

From Wikipedia :

“Johann Ludwig Jacob (better known by his stage name, Lou Jacobs) (January 1, 1903 – September 13, 1992) was an Auguste clown who performed for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus for more than 60 years. He was inducted into the International Clown Hall of Fame in 1989. He is credited with popularizing the clown car, which has been a staple of circus clown acts ever since. He is also often cited as the originator of the red rubber ball nose, which is used by many clowns today. He was the first living person to have his portrait appear on an American postage stamp”

I like to take pictures along the way as I paint so you can see the creation from start to finish. Enjoy! Leave me a note if you like the painting.

Patty Sue O'Hair - Vicknair Artist or PSOVART

As an artist I have to be true to myself and admit that I paint what makes me happy. I like color, I like fun colorful happy images. So you will find paintings of actual living clowns, many of which are my friends on Facebook, you will also find tribute paintings to clowns who are no longer with us, but the laughter lives on. You will find Carnival masque paintings, because I love the glitter and the excitement and the mystery caught in the eye. You will find beautiful flowers, tranquil boats, and lions, and tigers, and bears...oh my... well I haven't painted a bear yet but, it could happen. The point is I paint happy images that I hope you will enjoy looking at as much as I enjoyed painting them.
