Lost Clowntography

'The Life of Mr. Todd' by Ankit Goyal is Kind of Sad, Actually

— December 14, 2009 — Art & Design
Clowns sort of scare me, but I felt sad while clicking through 'The Life of Mr. Todd' by Ankit Goyal. The shoot features a clown and his plush sidekick as they wander alongside roads and through a forest. It looks like poor Mr. Todd has lost his way and isn't very happy about it.

Check out more shots from 'The Life of Mr. Todd' by Ankit Goyal above, and keep clicking for more creepy clown features.
