The Addams Family

Charles Addams lines his family up on the lawn in front of the Gothic pile: Fester bald and beaming in a fur-collared coat, Pugsley in a green striped shirt at his knee, Morticia in a long black gown with her arms folded, Gomez grinning in blue pinstripes, Wednesday in brown with her plaits, Lurch towering at the back in a bow tie, and Grandmama at the right under a fringed harlequin shawl. A signpost at the left reads COLLEGE HALL, which puts the whole lot on a university lawn.

The mansion's grey stonework and rows of arched windows are the fiddly part; the family themselves are flat blocks of black, brown and blue that go together fast. Finished size 63.5 x 50.8cm.
