CDC #407 – Family Portraits

So first a little housekeeping…I will be very busy with work until April 12th opening two musicals - “The House of Martin Guerre” and “Chelsea Sunrise”. As a result, I have to suspend the CDC prizes until CDC 410. I really enjoy doing them, but I will just not have time to do them justice.

So on to this week’s challenge. In he spirit of The Addams Family. Your challenge is to create a family portrait of a seriously scary or creepy family. Maybe it is a family of Zombies, or Steampunk robots. Just be creative and have fun
