Smile for the camera



      I like the juxtaposition of the family/group photographs: they're all sat really formally and quite stiff and they don't smile, that is until I draw on the Skelton grin- I think it's quite unnerving.

This one I used a cut out print of a skull (from my Rothwell visit ) influenced more by George Grosz - I like the result but as I'm hoping to use a lot of photographs I find using a pen allows me to be less restricted in depicting  the skull faces as I can work with the faces in the photographs which I think flows better. 
Like this one for example.
