Emmett Kelly Sr. pictures are worth $75.00, I found this out on Amazon.com at the following address: http://www.amazon.com/Flying-Trapeze-Circus-Emmett-Kelly/dp/B001XOT5BC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245113278&sr=8-1
Emmett Kelly, Sr. was a wonderful artist, but he did not paint other clowns. He did self portrait cartoons (you can see one on our Emmet Kelly, Sr. facebook page), but not other clowns. He started out wanting to be a political cartoonist, but took a job creating ads in the 1920 for movie theatres which is where he came up with the idea for "Willie", the sad-faced clown character which eventually became his alter-ego. He was my father-in-law and I can vouch for the fact he did not paint/draw other clowns.

Emmett Leo Kelly (December 9, 1898 - March 28, 1979), a native of Sedan, Kansas, was an American circus performer, who created the memorable clown figure "Weary Willie," based on the hobos of the Depression era. Kelly began his career as a trapeze artist. By 1923, Emmett Kelly was working his trapeze act with John Robinson's circus when he met and married Eva Moore, another circus trapeze artist. They later performed together as the "Aerial Kellys" with Emmett still performing occasionally as a white face clown.
