Isn’t it time we all agreed that no one really enjoys, nor ever has enjoyed the antics or mere presence of a clown?
It’s true and research at the University of Sheffield says it’s official - clowns suck. Since the ‘80s, Hollywood has consistently portrayed clowns as nothing but creepy. And despite the indisputable power of tinsel town, there’s probably a list of rent-a-clowns a mile long in your city’s phone book. Yes clowning is still going strong, it’s the audience that’s becoming extinct.
So do we hate clowns because we never liked them from the start, or is it because decades of movies have turned us against them?

This issue of T-post was designed by London-based, Finnish illustrator and graphic artist Klaus Haapaniemi. One of the hottest British fashion illustrators at the moment, his work seems to be everywhere; from a crockery range for Iittala to prints for Levis, Cacharel, Topshop and D&G. Not to mention the illustrations he did for the storefront windows of Selfridges department stores and the special edition Christmas storybook he made together with celebrity writers such as Madonna’s daughter Lourdes and…eh..David Hasselhoff.
