Ah, Hammer films! Memories of going to the pictures in the 70's with the latest boyfriend, going to see such gems as
The Abominable Doctor Phibes or
The Devil Rides Out - burying your face in his jacket at the scary bits! (On reflection, this may be the reason our boyfriends were so keen to take us to see the films in the first place). The king of Hammer has to be Christopher Lee's Dracula, so that was what I wanted to feature in my challenge piece for
Haunted Design House
So here he is, ol' red-eyes himself, stamped and masked while I built up the background with red inks - Adirondack Red Pepper, Distress Fired Brick and Barn Door. I added some hits of red to eyes and fangs with a cut and dry nib. And I couldn't resist adding in the words (printed onto Safmat) - it's my idea of funny. You'll just have to get used to it, I'm afraid!
Update - I made the Gruesome Twosome! Whoo-hoo!
