Zine Work: Digital Illustrations and Experiments


Playing with images and symbols of the running Little Red Riding Hood, the hungry wolf, a moon, and highlighting his carnal nature and beast qualities through sharp points on his mouth and eye. I'd like to start the zine this way, Red running from the wolf in the way as we know... 





Showing next a series of, what I referring to when creating them, "sexy wolves" - the desirable wolves that women often find themselves running towards - especially seen in Angela Carter's story where the wolves are more desirable than the men, the men being the beasts and the animals! The experiments will be whittled down to the ones I find most successful for the final zine.


Ending with, Little Red did end up in the Wolf's bed after all - but of her own free will and attraction to him. Is this more successful with a wolf's head or without? I will need to draw sexy wolf's head for this to work.

I will place my essay throughout the zine between these illustrations showing the metamorphosis of the Little Red Riding Hood Story as a cautionary tale to children to then becoming that of a desirable story for feminist women, choosing the wolf over the man and making her own decisions. It is my vision to have the zine look like a story book but it depends on how much time I have.
