Specialism: Illustration
Theme: Distortion
Sub-theme: fairy tales/grimm tales

My theme fits into my idea of fairy tales and legends by the use of my own imagination, distorting well known stories into different outcomes or rewriting all together, an example of changing an outcome would be like lady and the frog, in which the the frog is really a poison dart frog, or even a cane toad which are highly poisonous which would lead to the princess' death and the spell not breaking for the frog.
My inspiration behind this would be from the famous Disney cartoons as well as humorous not so known comic tales such as 'drop dead monstrous'.
Artists I will be looking into include H.R.Giger for the thick curved lines and the morbid feeling of his work and Camilla d'errico for her bright colours and absent expressions.
The target audience would be 12+ as there would be too much death/violence for PG rating, yes comics have age ratings on the back of them sometimes but I shall be using the movie ratings.

I will be mostly using ink, marker pens and Photoshop however if I change my mind later on i may decide watercolours and acrylics would be more suitable for the future.

I intend my first 2 weeks to focus entirely on research, the next 2 weeks would be planning and the last 4 weeks would be starting and finishing the comic strips I have planned, they will be short and witty as most already know the stories and if not they can get a good feel for them from reading my comics.

Feed back from people around me on their thoughts and opinions will be taken into account when it comes to making changes to my work
