The Mask, the Grin and the Cape: The Jester Behind My Designs
Every ClownPierce design starts from the same place: the jester from my channel. Here's what that jester is made of, where you'll find each part on the merch, and how to pick the design that's yours.
What does the jester look like?
The jester has a few parts that never change:
- The hat: black, wide and sharp, with points that curl out to the sides.
- The mask: white and heart-shaped, the brightest thing in every drawing.
- The eyes: two crosses, sometimes black, sometimes glowing red.
- The grin: wide, tall teeth, from one side of the mask to the other.
Around those, the drawings change: a red and black cape, gloved hands, a sword, a throne with a crown, or a glowing globe held in both hands.
Which designs show which part?
Some designs keep it simple: just the hat and the crossed eyes, in one colour, as a clean mark. Others show the whole character, in colour, with the cape and everything around it. If you like your merch quiet, go for the mask. If you want people to ask what's on your shirt, go for the full art.
Front or back?
A few designs have a back design as well as a front one. A small mark on the chest and the big art on the back is the loudest way to wear the jester, and it shows up best at a distance.
Black or white?
The jester is black, white and red, so most designs work on both. A light mask on a black garment is the classic look; on white, the black hat does the talking.
How do I choose?
Start with the part of the jester you'd recognise anywhere, then pick the garment you'll actually wear: tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.
