These red riding Hood images from Tetsuhiro Wakabayashi are very dark the red along the edge of the wolf and the dark face of little red riding hood fill the viewer with foreboding.

Kristin Kwan a simple line drawing but it has lots of fun and the characters seem to be very jaunty almost as though they were dancing.

Anne Patay

French artist, Anne Patay's beautiful rich depiction of a girl and a wolf hold no sense of fear just a calm companionship and respect. Anne's work often depicts wolves or crows, both are symbols of ancient times and totems of a collective mythology of fairy tale often foretelling of danger and giving a feeling of foreboding.

Stefanie Augustine

A very sad Red Riding Hood spread from the moleskin's of Stefanie Augustine. Red Riding Hood is painted in acrylic over a sliced photograph of a field and the decapitated wolf resembles a trophy stag head with the foliage behind it.

Call Of The Wild

'Call of the wild', This version of little red riding hood is an attempt to portray something that increasingly concerns me, along with the destruction of wild flora and fauna, the increasing sedentism of wild animals into pets. Or the belittling our fauna into he bizarre value system of 'cute', where if they are cute they are worthy of survival.

Amélie Fléchais II

French illustrator  Amélie Fléchais works as an illustrator and animator, producing beautiful layered watercolour images. I have previously shared her work and finished book, 'Le Petit Loup Rouge'.

A Forest of Teeth

A mono-printed forest of teeth by Hazel Terry where the wolf's open mouth and the forest are one, with Little Red peeping out.

Agata Juszcak

Agata Juszcak's 'The Visitation' is not specifically a Red Riding Hood image, but it's sentiment is with the dark animalistic demon and the girl.
Agata's varied use of blocks of intense colour combined with water washes and scratchy lines and detail makes her work rich and visually exciting.

Ali Boozari

It is wonderful to discover the work of Iranian illustrator and printmaker Ali Boozan ,
This is not Little Red Riding Hood though it could easily be, it is from a project called 'The goat and the wolf'.
The layered printed illustrations in contrasting colours resemble batik, but they have so many triggers of cultural association, for they also remind me of Indonesian shadow puppet performances with the inclusion of the musicians along the bottom.

Andrzej Strumiłło

The haunting contents of the stomach of Andrzej Strumiłło's wolf; a gastric stew of sheep,an old lady, old man dog and girl. Andrzej is a Polish Graphic designer who graduated in 1950 in Krakow.

Julio Antonio Blasco I

A wonderful eclectic mix of media and techniques is used by Julio Antonio Blasco to illustrate Arnal Txabi's 'La Ladrona De Sellos' (The Stamp Theif) is a very original and tender sequel to the original story. I love the use of stamps print and layered sketches it is vibrant and exciting.

Cecilia Ferri

These are some of the illustrations from Italian illustrator Cecilia Ferri's book Lupus in Fabula a book of self discovery and learning to be true to yourself and move away from the constraints of the pack.

"In Lupus in Fabula, everyone has their own role, is trapped in a mask, to fulfill the expectations of others, adapting to the group, everything goes in line with expectations of the environment in which he lives, stuck in routines between home and school, feeling the social weight on the shoulders.This is symbolically represented as a mask that hides the true nature of the protagonist, a mask that is closing in on the face of his companions, that behave all the same way.The wolf embodies a double role of wild beast bringer of destruction, and at the same time initiator and bearer of knowledge.Today the wolf has a complex symbology. Is not the bad shadow that follows us in the woods, is something that we carry inside as hidden brother.It's our inner-self that reminds us that despite the social and economic superstructure built around us, we are still a product of nature, and the anxiety that we feel is the memory further and further away of our origins, we continue to stubbornly forget." Cecilia Ferri

Natalie Pudalov

Natalie Pudalov is a Russian born Israeli illustrator who graduated from Bezalel Academy in 2004.
Natalie works in layers of media, building up images that have the quality of age about them a patina that gives them depth and obscures or reveals the meaning.

Kato Tomoya

Kato Tomoya's wonderful Little Red Riding hood with the wolf's protective tail wrapping her in safety. Tomoya Kato is a Japanese illustrator based in Kyoto who makes many wonderful illustrations for posters and promotional material as well as exhibitions.

Fantastic Mr Wolf

It has been a while since I drew Little Red Riding Hood, inspired by one of my students scarves, I did a sketch and today have finished the Fantastic Mr Wolf. I have really enjoyed drawing into the wet paint to create the knit and fur textures.

Christine Roussey

Christine Roussey's Little Red Riding Hood (made for the House of Cardboard ) is full of space and abstraction. Christine's work is always a lucid net of doodles, patterns and blocks of colour,that swim in front of your eyes until your brain clicks them into place like a puzzle.

Mika Hirasa IV

MICAO's (Mika Hirasa) portfolio of Little Red Riding Hood images is just outstanding this one is an early interpretation for 2006/7.

絵本塾に通っていた2006年〜2007年頃、
何かの課題で描いた赤ずきんちゃんです。
元祖赤ずきんは、５等頭ぐらいの比率だったようです。
赤ずきんのキャラクターは、自分で作り出したというより、ファンの人や編集の人達とのお仕事を通じて自然に形成されていったと思っています。なので、最初、何も考えずに描くと、普通の女の子になったのだと思います。Micao

Adolfo Serra

Adolfo Serra's 'Caperucita Roja' is a wordless book exploring ideas of where fear dwells and has some wonderful merging of the wolf into other pictorial ingredients such as Grandma's house and Little Red's hair.
