These New Jerkface Artworks Feature 'The Simpsons'' Krusty the Clown
Riley von Niessen — August 6, 2018 — Pop Culture
Jerkface, a street artist known for his unique pop art style, recently designed a series of new prints, which are exclusive to the Taglialatella Gallery in NYC for a limited time.
The three prints range in colorway but feature the same subject, Krusty the Clown from 'The Simpsons.' Although it's clear that Krusty is at the focus of all of the prints, his face is never actually shown, with Jerkface choosing to instead highlight his other iconic features. Due to this, the prints showcase the alcoholic clown's bright turquoise hair that's styled in elaborate cones, as well as his outfit that consists of a bright purple shirt, lime green pants, white gloves, and a baby blue bow tie.
