When I saw the robot picture Connor made I was hoping for a Robot Cinderella Story - how cool would that be? :-) Cinderella was always my favorite fairy tale although I prefer the endings where the evil stepmother & sisters get what is coming to them!

My poor old fairy tale tome is bruised and battered, with evidence of my 4 year old handwriting scattered about thus personalizing my copy forever, the cover having been repeatedly taped on with packing tape and the pages so worn, that they're as soft as butter. This book was like a security blanket to me, having followed me through my life. Amazingly, the printing and color is still crisp and sharp and brings me right back to 1971 every time I gaze at them. My favorite books become worn and comfy, as they should be. Megan, You are most welcome! I so love seeing fresh talent and the amazing work that a new generation of artists is producing. It's always inspiring! Thank you for sharing. Julie, the book I’m referring to was edited by Jane Carruth (you can’t even get a copy anymore–I’ve tried to hunt one down with no success).

LOL It always makes me smile to see it. I really need to find it & show you! :) You know, I can’t remember the exact title…it’s been shut away in a box ever since we moved & I’ve often wished I could go find it & have a browse :)

Can't wait for you deck to be published! Connor’s robot art can be just as inspiring as your Lis, in his own way. :o )

It comes from a 1917 publication entitled Fairy Tales from Brazil by Elsie Spicer Eells. Connor's hardware-styled drawings are quite the contrast from my organic renderings. I'm absolutely fascinated by his designs. Cat, that means a lot coming from an art teacher/fairy tale artist like yourself. Julie, is your fairy tale book entitled "The Giant All-Color Book of Fairy Tales"? It has a place of honor in my studio. It IS the book that started me on my imaginative journey. Thank you so much for the comments! It's always greatly appreciated. Arwen, it’s actually called Why the Sea Moans (thanks for pointing out the typo!).

Blaster Bot is very detailed! I see you have another artist in the family. :) The Sea That Moans is an unfamiliar tale to me. I will have to look that up. Thanks, Lisa! Great post! Lovely.

One that would have captured my imagination in school for sure :) It still does in fact..hehe I',m not so sure that a particular fairy tale inspired me, but I have a giant book of fairy tales (I think that is it's proper title actually..lol) that I used to read constantly as a kid because the artwork was so magical :) Different stories & different styles of artwork, but I loved it more than anything else. Not suprising that I have ended up as a 'fairy tale loving artist really! hehe That is a truly awesome project! One that would have captured my imagination in school for sure :)

I love that your son creates Robot stories that is so cool, I remember loving robots when I was little too! Your Cinderella's are beautiful, but I must say I'm really taken by the fairy godmother.. she is so magical and breathtaking I love her being the focus of painting! What a wonderful assignment!
