Information:
At most rodeos you'll see rodeo clowns running around dodging bulls during the riding events. It's somewhat entertaining. But it also serves a very important function, to distract the bull long enough so the bull rider can make his exit unharmed. A great strategy, but doing so puts the clown in jeopardy and as the illustration depicts there are some hazards in this approach.

This is one of my early pencil works from some photos I took at a local rodeo up around Chapel Hill (that's Texas NOT! North Carolina).
