THE ADDAMS FAMILY. A commission I did for a friend. I stuck with the strip version of characters, which I prefer (and which he asked for). Which means no Thing—the original Thing was just a kind of regular-old “thing”, one of numerous horror-monster pets the family had or would allude to. The closest I could find in the strip was this one, which you can see I lifted almost wholesale for this. Hey I’m not proud.  Also, if one day someone see this from Chronicle Books or a similar fancy-dan publisher, PLEASE reprint the old Charles Addams softcovers, or do a high-end treatment of his work. There is literally NOTHING in print that isn’t either completely terrible or covered with movie images and so forth from back when the movies came out. BEGGING HERE.

MY UNCLE FESTER. One of the ten-dollar sketches I do; you can buy one here, and see all the ones to date here. Subject suggestion was “Uncle Fester.” Normally I would avoid doing a straight-up copy like this, but it was a joy to try and draw in Charles Addams’ style, not to mention look through a bunch of his cartoons for reference.
