Dark Fairytale T shirts
These three illustrations are part of a series designed for printing on white t shirts. The brief requested illustrations of dark treatments of well known fairytales, aimed at the punk/goth market.
Red Riding Hood (2003)
This is a dark, warrior like overhaul of the fairytale character Little Red Riding Hood. The premise is that Red has now become a hunter of wolves. She still bears the scars of the first time she was swallowed. This was actually done for Grimm, back when it was a very different game.
Ken Wong's work shows mainly drawn and digitally manipulated elements and lacks background imaging. Although there is no background in his pieces a sense of atmosphere and narrative is still present. My idea to portray my own version of a Grimm's fairytale is to create a narrative only through realistic drawn images. Whilst looking at Ken Wong's work I realised I don't have to just draw realistically but can also try many different themes like Ken's images.
