Pennywise

October 24, 2025

I find painting human faces extremely difficult. There are so many different shades of color on one human face and I find painting that tedious. It helped that this is a clown. That said, it still took me months. The remake of the film, “IT” is one of my all-time favorite horror films. Bill Skarsgård’s performance as Pennywise is one of the greatest in the history of horror. I put his performance up there with Boris Karloff as Frankenstein. I used a photograph of Mr. Skarsgård in character and full makeup. I painted this about a year ago and it is one of my top five favorites.

    That is amazing! I want it for my desktop background at work. No one will fuck with my desk with that on my screen! Fantastic, Mark.
