the princess and the pea || classic fairy tale illustration
I have always loved fairy tales, and still do. I love the way they can highlight our mortal experience through the lens of magic, mythical lands, and mystery. Plus there's almost always a killer dress to swoon over.
As I was considering a new addition to the literary series, this tale kept coming to mind. A princess who just wants a good night's sleep but is thwarted by a minuscule pea.
I tried ti capture the lush nature of palace living while weaving in whimsical colors and textures that felt like they belonged in a child's imagination.
