The Phobia Project

Coulrophobia

2010-03-07T03:00:00.000-08:00

Here's the 3rd contribution from David Booth. Here's his description:

"Coulrophobia is based of the fear of clowns. I read somewhere that the phobia stems from a fear of the deviant side of human nature, so I decided to draw a picture of a man holding up a clown mask to his face. I liked the idea that the image could be revealed using funhouse-esque bendy mirror, so I decided to contort the image around it's central point and make a cylindrical mirror in which to view the image."

Thanatophobia

...the fear of death. Another contribution from Mr. Booth. Can you spot the hidden profiles of the grim reaper and some lost souls?

On hold...for now

2009-10-06T15:19:00.000-07:00

Due to a multitude of circumstances, I am having to put the Phobia project on hold for now. I am hoping to start it up again in 2010.

Infinite deadline?

2009-02-15T04:05:00.000-08:00

Due to the limited response to this project, and the fact that you can't really organise something like this and work full-time simultaneously, I think I'm going to not set a proper deadline rather than carry on extending it. This way more people will want to contribute (hopefully!). Muchos gracias to those who have already sent in their artwork though, you guys are tops!
