Lucy Owen

Super talented artist Lucy Owen hadn't even heard of Juggalos, but now she's down with ICP.

It's understandably difficult to get respect when you're an adult in clown paint, especially when the FBI considers you part of a gang, but British artist Lucy Owen saw something else in Insane Clown Posse fans. And she was inspired to paint more than her face.

Her new exhibition, "Where The Juggalo Roam," opened last weekend at the Start Gallery, which is appropriately in Detroit where ICP got its start. Her pieces, acclaimed by both the art and Juggalo communities, are based on observations from the Gathering of the Juggalos held this past July. We spoke with Owen about her surprising, Faygo-fueled experience.
