freak show-artwork.

Some week-ago, i bumped into some post talking about a really old movie called freak (1932). No, i don't think i have guts to watch it somehow it's seems too gore-ey-bloody movie ( i have a weak heart for this kind a movie ). 

But then i get interested to search for the screen pictures of it and fascinate with how human can be like that. You see, all the actor and actress in there are a real people with bizzarre unusual features.

Freak show are like a normal circus with animals and flashy tents and so on. The differences are they mainly displaying this bizzarre *freak* people. You can read the article about it more here.

It may seems cruel, but this is one of the *fast* way for them to get a job, partner, friends and most of all, being famous. I read from some articles, not all this people surprisingly feel bad working like this, they actually enjoyed it being famous and how people interested on them.

This inspired me for making this artwork, how they are uniquely fascinating and strange at the same time, i pick the idea more from the cheerful side of the freak show. 

For my personal opinion, they aren't *freak*. They are gifted people with unique features they got in one package. 

Being different is awesome. :D
