Been enjoying re-reading Angela Carter's wonderful 'The Bloody Chamber' lately and the brilliant 'Company Of Wolves' got me thinking about illustrating Little Red Riding Hood.It's obviously a story saturated in cocktail of psychological and cultural meanings - not all of which are 'suitable' for children and consequently there seems to be a wide range of stylistic interpretations of Red and her (sometimes fatal) adventures.
I've been toying with the thought of just how many 'versions' I could come up with and so to that end I'm going to create a new RED for each day during this September and put the results up on this blog daily. I'm planning on scraping together anything I can from illustration, words, paint, photography, CGI, papier-mache etc to try and hit my target and I'm sure some will work better than others but, just as with Red traversing the forest, I might just find out more about myself than I expected.
