hello there,

You can call this a modern day scrapbook/portfolio of my work: collections of paintings, sketches, doodles, photography and perhaps some film (when i have time). This will be another creative outlet aside from writing (http://gabdez.blogspot.ca/). This blog will also act as a form of motivation to develop my art and to view my progress later on.
--don't be a stranger now, feel free to leave feedback/'critiques' :]

GrimmTales: Little Red Cap


Once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was loved by everyone who looked at her, but most of all by her grandmother, and there was nothing that she would not have given to the child. 


Once she gave her a little cap of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else; so she was always called 'Little Red- Cap.' 



 So he walked for a short time by the side of Little Red-Cap, and then he said: ’See, Little Red-Cap, how pretty the flowers are about here–why do you not look round? I believe,too, that you do not hear how sweetly the little birds are singing; you walk gravely along as if you were going to school, while everything else out here in the wood is merry.
Little Red-Cap raised her eyes, and when she saw the sunbeams dancing here and there through the trees, and pretty flowers growing everywhere, she thought: ’Suppose I take grandmother a fresh nosegay; that would please her too. It is so early in the day that I shall still get there in good time’;

 and so she ran from the path into the wood to look for flowers. 

 And whenever she had picked one, she fancied that she saw a still prettier one farther on, and ran after it, and so got deeper and deeper into the wood. 











this is the result of my photography series of the story "little Red Cap" by The Brother's Grimm. i have yet to work on the pieces of the wolf. i'm thinking of illustration for it, perhaps? shooting in forests is so wondrous by the way

Little Red-Cap.

today the most ridiculously amazing idea and inspiration popped into my head. it's all got to do with two brothers by the names of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. their stories have inspired so many fables and children's stories/movies and now they have inspired me for what could possibly be the biggest artistic challenge i have ever thought up.
i am going to attempt to do a series of paintings, illustrations, photography and perhaps even some very short films based on several of the brother's dark tales. i am so extatic and full of inspiration it's mind boggling i just want to go create right this second.

 i will begin my series with little red-cap (commonly known as little red ridding hood) tomorrow. wish me long this series could take a year or so...
