A magical diorama by Canadian illustrator Kelly Pousette.

Manon Gauthier

Manon Gauthier's work has long been a favourite illustrator of mine and she has very kindly sent me her latest composition about Red Riding Hood.

 "Yum Yum! These cakes are really good! But, we should keep one for my Grandmother, shouldn't we?"

Manon is a self-taught illustrator with many books published with Canadian and European publishers.
She often works using collage, as in this image, working on separate pieces of paper and jigsaw puzzling the elements together. You can see her starting this process below.

Thank you, Manon.

Tin Can Forest is the collaborative creativity of Pat Shewchuk and Marek Colek, based in Toronto Ontario and Salt Spring Island BC.
Pat and Marek create sequential art, comics, film and books, their work is informed and inspired by the the forests of Canada, Slavic art, fairy tales and folklore. It is rich in pattern, detail and narrative.
The images above are littered with Red Riding Hood imagery. They are from a book called Baba Yaga and The Wolf where Tin Can Forest have molded and reworked at least two fairy tales into their own story.

“This is a story told to me by my great grandmother. She lived in a time when the wilderness was everywhere, vampires roamed the treetops, and devils traded opium and vodka for human souls by the roadside."

                                                                          Marek Colek,
