For this project I was inspired by the illustrations in the first editions of The Brothers Grimm story book, which were a combination of woodblock prints & paper cut scenes. The message I wanted to portray with this illustration is that the children who read The Brothers Grimm stories know they are fantastical & so they can handle the gruesome parts. Its the parents that are unduly protective in trying to shield their children from the classic Grimm stories.
