ACEO Clown #102 is inspired by a very talented and unique clown artist  "Mikhail Usov" from Kharkiv, Ukraine. Mikhail Usov is performing as an entertainer since 1983.   In 1995 he won a silver medal at the International Circus of Tomorrow Festival (Cirque D'HIVER BOUGLIONE a PARIS International Festival Monde du Cirque de Demain) in Paris, and in July 1999 a gold medal at the International Clown Festival in Ostend in Belgium.  Mikhail Usov has created several unique acts. His “Ping Pong” act is one example. No artist in the world has been able to replicate this indeed unique and extremely complex act. The act involves Mikhail Usov juggling only one ping pong and bouncing it against a number of aluminum pots attached to various parts of his body with each pot producing a different sound. As a result, a one of the kind musical instrument is born which plays notes and various melodies. From 2009 he performs around the world on the stage of TOTEM, a production of the internationally acclaimed Cirque du Soleil. See him on his YouTube Channel here.
