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.

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.
