The Rough & Ready Sideshow is a menagerie of timeless tales and rare specimens lovingly recreated in remembrance of the once-common traveling carnival, thus saved from the obscurity of antiquity.

The images were created with a range of talented performers who were photographed on simple sets. Each of the backdrops were digitally painted with a background to complete the scene. The images were placed inside a faux border and the details were digitally created to give the illusion of embossed and aged paper.
