Day 3: The Changeling "We still love our little Maude but she no longer seems to be the same. Something seems quite wrong."

Here's my Vintage Fruit Labels Art for March #PortfolioClub2020 assignment! . Well, when this month started who knew what a crazy world we would be left in. I created my illustration inspired by the Greek Goddess Persephone tale. The young Goddess was trapped in the Underworld by Hades and only convinced/tricked to stay there (at least for half the year) by the sweet taste of a pomegranate seed. It seems like a pretty relevant story these days as we are all feeling a bit trapped in our spaces. Hopefully, you can all connect in some way with your family and loved ones. . A shout-out to @rachaelschaferdesigns Co-hosting March's assignment! Thank you to Andrea Stegmaier @andrea_stegmaier and Devon Holzwarth @devonholzwarth for the February assignment. .

Folktaleweek Day 7: Crown The last illustration for FolktaleWeek! I decided to illustrate Queen Mab, the queen of the fairies. She has been legend in English and Scottish folklore and most famously written about by Shakespeare. I imagine her floating through the forest checking in on all the fairies wearing her forest crown. . I hope you enjoyed this little journey with us learning new stories and creating new characters around. We will be doing it again next fall and have a few new projects in the works.

Follow along on Instagram! #folktaleweek2019 #folktaleweek Happy Folktale Week! . Folktaleweek Day 1 HOME I chose the Italian folktale, "The Parsley Girl" for my "Home" illustration. It is similar to the more famous Rapunzel story where a witch locks a sweet young girl in her talk tower for her whole life. . For my illustration, I was pretty fascinated by how this mess got all started. The Parsley Girl's mothers' only vice was her pregnancy cravings. She got a bit obsessed with all the sweet Parsley growing in her neighbors yard and couldn't help herself from stealing a bit. But then...she was caught in the act! Mom is then cursed to give her soon to be born child to the witch in exchange for the stolen herbs. Of course, the Mom thinks this makes total sense and the girl is locked away because you know a few sprigs of Parsley is totally equal to a girl's life, right? . . . Want to join Folktaleweek?

#Folktaleweek Day 4: Smoke . Ok, so I admit this isn't smoke it is mist, but I feel in love with the Irish Folktale, "The Golden Spear". In this tale, Connla and Nora go on an adventure, following tiny musicians through fields, forest and the sea. They ride with a tiny man on a small steed through the skies, through the deep mist. They meet mermaids, queens and tiny people who show them their grand destiny. . Want to join Folktaleweek? It's not to late! Simply follow the prompt list and post art inspired by folktales.

Time to take a break from politics to tell you about one of my favorite projects that I'm involved in this year. In late November (11/23 - 11/29, 2020) I will be co-hosting Folktale Week again with a great group of lovely artists from around the world. We will be illustrating our favorite international folktales and encouraging other artists to share their art. Join me https://www.instagram.com/debrastyer/ on instagram to find out more.

It's that time of the year, time to celebrate the changing season by getting cozy with some great stories. That's right, @folktaleweek is just around the corner! Are you excited? I know we are! Let us know you are joining us by reposting this image or making your own! 

We are releasing the prompts on October 26th, so you will have a month to discover folktales, work on art, or even write your own tales. And to help you get off to a great start, we are teaming up with @storycamp_disco, who will be release a special Folktale Week workbook filled with lots of insight and fun exercises! Proceeds will go to support @projectnightnight. Stay tuned for more info. 

How it works: We will release the prompts on October 26th. Then on November 23rd, follow the prompts and share a piece of art each day. Interpret the prompts however you would like. Everyone is encouraged to join in the fun. Last year we were thrilled to see illustration, photography, paper craft, embroidery, cosplay and more! . Use the hashtags #Folktaleweek and #folktaleweek2020 to show your work and to interact with other artists. The challenge hosts will pull work from the hashtags to share in our stories!

Folktaleweek Day 5: Darkness . This illustration is from the Japanese folktale, "The Peony Lantern". This story tells of a lonely Samurai that falls in love and becomes obsessed with finding a beautiful women he spent the night with. It turns out that is is searching for a ghost! Super creepy ending, he finds her but where the man dies in her arms. His body is found embraced in the arms of a skeleton... . Want to join Folktaleweek? It's not too late!

Folktaleweek Day 3: Path I was inspired by the Russian Folktale, "The Firebird and the Princess Valilisa" for this illustration. In the original tale, a man steals a feather from a Firebird, he shows it off and impresses the King with it. He is then sent on an crazy adventure to capture the bird and if he succeeds his reward is to marry the Princess. . In my story, the Firebird gives a feather to the Princess and she and her trusted horse go on a wonderful adventure following alongside the Firebird as they go and explore the world on their own. A little more fun for them all, don't you think? . Want to join Folktaleweek? It's not to late! Simply follow the prompt list and post art inspired by folktales.
