So Cool: Minimalist & Modern Fairy Tale Art by Christian Jackson
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Strip fairy tales of all their pomp, circumstance, princes and princesses and you have a very basic story. And each fairy tale has some kind of hook, some sort of iconic image, item or idea that is easily identifiable. The graphic artist Christian Jackson recognized this and distilled a collection of classic and famous tales and conveyed each one into a simple, very minimalist statement.
Of his children’s story series, Jackson stated: “My life was thrown in very childish direction when I became a father a little over 2 1/2 years ago. I guess this series was my way of releasing some of that energy creatively. I can’t really say that I “decided on children’s stories” my lifestyle pretty much demanded it. When the idea for the posters came to me, the iconic images for each story just sort of poured out.”
Check out his amazingly accurate and artistic renderings of fairy tales from Hansel & Gretel to the Three Little Pigs to the Wizard of Oz here.
