3 Ravens




3 pieces I've been working on for my Fairytale and Folklore project. I wanted to set the scenes in a modern environment. Through the first image I wanted to depict the subject of seduction, a strong theme in the story of Little Red Riding Hood. I've been looking at some awesome images by many other illustrators where they manipulate shadows to dramatizes a composition. Also film noir has been a big influence. The middle piece is an accumulation of symbols that relate back to many of the themes from the original story, such as: womanhood, purity, cleansing, and the role of the male.

  2. Hey Ken - it has been a while!

    Really like your illustrations by the way and I'm glad I found this blog. Are you still in touch with PP people? I might be moving back there next year!
