Red Riding Hood Tartx Illustration

An excellent way to carry art with you. This pocket mirror features an image from my Fairy Tales and Folklore series titled "The Company of Wolves". This piece was inspired by both the original Brothers Grimm tale and Angela Carter's dark and fantastic version of Little Red Riding Hood from the book The Bloody Chamber. To create this illustration I used a mixture of traditional and digital painting. In some versions Red Riding Hood is saved by a hunter. In some versions she kills the wolf herself. In some versions she is eaten by the wolf. Many versions, if not most have been foreboding tales in which to scare little girls into watching their backs. There is some consensus however that the tale is as much, if not more about Red Riding Hood discovering her own animalistic nature and overcoming it. My Red Riding Hood is brave in the face of danger and wears her animalistic nature with pride.
