Addams Family – Grandmama

Addams Family – Grandmama

I really like Charles Addams’ original Grandmama Addams (or Frump, depending on what version we’re watching) In his own words, she’s “This disrespectful old hag is the mother of Gomez… she willingly helps with the dishes, cheats at solitaire and is roughly dishonest… the complexion is dark, the hair is white and frizzy and uncombed… she has a light beard and a large mole… foolishly good-natured… fumbling, weak character… is easily fooled.” Beyond that, I love the mischievous look on her face he gives her. All of the other versions seem ordinary in comparison.

This image is based on the “Eye of Newt” comic, or more accurately I used it as a reference for the kitchen. I’m always fascinated by Addams’s consistency with the house itself. Having said that I wish I could have found out what kind of stove that is. If I had a secondary reference for it, I could have made it look a lot better.
