Here's my browser solution for Clown drawing: Click me

I scanned the image, parsed the pixel XY's into Line draws then embedded the data.

Great for simple solid color images. Line draw format very slow for non-solid parts, in this case the black outline.

So I trimmed the black down so it would be small enough for browser and put it in a worker thread.

As LitDev mentioned, this method is ingenious. I think LitDev was looking for an original clown, but this is awesome!
