Ding dong...

When Niff and Sutter invited us to ‘put on your scary faces and draw something that spooks you’ for Blind Contour First Friday (a fun competition that a small core of sketch bloggers participated in about six or seven years ago), I did think of drawing my mother, however as no-one knew what she looked like, I chose a more famous but similarly scary lady. So I'm dragging out that picture having just heard the news.
