Running Away To Join A Circus

The Soul Food Cafe provides prompts and challenges for those who wish to participate in the Pythian Games This is one, suggested activity.

I have considered running away to join the circus and have a new life, but I doubt they would want me now...

Luckily for me, Lemuria has a circus where I can be young, agile and fit and live out my dreams. Rainbow Beach and the Duwamish Bay Marina are just two places where I can meet up with like minded and strut my stuff.

You Can Run Away and Join This Circus

and become an 'extreme' artist


"No ivory tower isolated artiste studios for these painters and writers and photographers and blow torch babes - nope, these gals are creativity's answer to extreme sportsmen: they are extreme artists. "Amateur explorers of the secret underground" indeed - they are adept at diving down into the deep subterranean subconscious and bringing up a prized insight. Jung had nothing on them!"

Check out the Pythian Games and consider toning up those artistic muscles.

More Circus Fun

Quirky Ringmaster Art
Kate McInnes (aka LoungeKat) uses her stunning vector lines to carve a niche in the world of illustration. Her bright, colourful,and superbly drawn work leaps from the page (or screen, as the case may be...) and captures your attention immediately.Her unique style is infectious and her subjects sensual, you just want to see more, more, more!
Ramon Santiago
Ramón Santiago is a private man who shys away from attention. He is characterized as a "painters painter." His mastery of pen, pencil, pastel and brush explodes with exciting new images. His style? It's unmistakably Santiago. Fresh. Original. Sensitive with dramatic fantasy. Santiago generates elegant images of beautiful women and odd human-like creatures masterfully. Through his color, line and form he delivers fascinating and enigmatic visions.
Shaune McCarthy
McCarthy's painted terracotta ringmaster is an inspired piece.
