Part of my submission for @themooks' #drawhammerhorror. Because of the tender age at which I was exposed to Hammer Films, I remember the nudity as much as the horror. So this rather juvenile composition is a visual pun based on the dubious rhyming slang 'Ingrid Pitts'. Ingrid is seen here in her two lead roles for Hammer: Vampire Lovers and Countess Dracula. She was too good for Hammer and definitely deserves better than this reductive tribute. Sorry.

Sketchbook, brushpen. Still getting inspired by gorillas. Or, to quote zoo manager Bob Fossil: the squashed up hairy boy with the hand feet.

For Christmas my wife bought me a unique piece of art, an 'exquisite corpse' drawing from the Nelson book launch at Gosh Comics. Pretty amazing to have one piece of paper featuring the work of Jonathan Edwards, Sarah McIntyre AND Warwick Johnson Cadwell! I was delighted, and it now takes pride of place next to the page of original art from Warwick's Kanu (which Mrs G gave me for Christmas in 2010!)

James Howard (@themooks on Twitter) ran a great 'Draw Batman' meme last year. He's followed that with 'Draw Hellboy' and the response has been amazing. mookiest.tumblr.com/post/14938165414/draw-hellboy
Here's my contribution, inspired by one of my favourite Hellboy stories, 'Pancakes'.
