I think that's the first picture I have seen of Jim w/o make-up or paint on him...

the last time I saw Jim was at the Circus Festival in Sarasota about 15 years ago. Buckles you have a great work of art on your wall. Jim is able to capture the true essence of the person. ~frank

The person in the middle is a young Jim Howle, graduate from the Inaugural Clown College Class of 1968. Hobo Jim was a tramp clown who spent seven years with Big Bertha and then pursued his dream of being an artist. His original clown paintings go for thousands. ~frank
