Sir Graves Ghastly
Anyone who grew up here in "El Mitten de los muertos" will remember Sir Graves Ghastly as portrayed by Lawson Deming on Detroit TV from the late 60's to the early 80's.
Here once again is Sir Graves Ghastly, my favorite Horror Host of all time.
Sir Graves and Adam West's "Batman" are my earliest tv related memories, I spent many, many, many saturdays curled up in front of the tv watching Sir Graves present everything from "The Bride of Frankenstein" to "Robot Monster." Its not an exaggeration to say that I wouldn't be what I am today if it wasn't for the Sir Graves Show.
I did a portrait last year of Sir Graves that I was never quite happy with, I'm much more satisfied with this one.
I hope you enjoy it!

Another great piece here Rob! I too was a big fan of the Adam West era Batman, I met Adam when I was 8 years old and again about 20 years later. Never did get in on the Sir Ghastly show tho, sounds like it was pretty damn cool tho.
I dig the skin on this dude. It looks just like I could reach out and squeeze his face. Squeeze it hard!
