Eight clowns are in a grungy concrete car park. From left to right: a tightrope walker clown in ruffled shorts prepares to playfully whip a Ballerina Clown who is en pointe and in a tutu. Behind them is a Muscular Clown sitting on a concrete edge, pondering upwards. Seated on a stool in front and middle is the grumpy clown in a suit. Behind him are two dark clowns. The boy looks to be a bit sad as he sits with a baseball bat between his legs while the girl clown whispers in his ear. Next to them is a sad, poetic clown frowning while a neon, excited clown with pigtails runs towards him.
In a grungy concrete car park, next to a large exit sign, a muscular juggler clown is juggling three clubs to impress a tightrope walker clown in ruffly shorts and holding an umbrella.
In a grungy concrete stairwell, a bunch of clowns look down towards the viewer. Their leader, a grumpy clown in a suit, sits towards the front. Behind him is a muscular clown seated on the handrail, a tightrope walker clown with an umbrella leans against the handrail, and a neon clown with pigtails relaxes next to her. Higher on he staircase, a Ballerina clown in a tutu holds a sunflower, a grungy pink clown sucks on a rainbow lollipop, a Shakespearean clown holds a rose while frowning, and a dark, sinister clown peers through the railing whilst holding a baseball bat.
