THE SCARY TALES
Welcome to my Scary Tales World. Traditional fairy tales often depict innocent young children that become entangled in a dark world of wicked witches and bloodthirsty monsters.
But what if the "angelic" protagonists were not so angelic after all? What if Little Red Riding Hood was it truth a Wolf-Pie Maker, Rapunzel a Strangler, the Little Match Girl an Arsonist and Alice the ultimate Bunny Boiler returning from Wonderland to make a rabbit stew?
I always like to ask myself, WHAT IF...?
SIMPLE PLEASURES
This collection of famous young ladies enjoying their favourite treats is on display at The Cactus Gallery on Brighton Seafront. Here's young Eve with her Apple pie, Lady Grey with her Tea, Dame Nelly Melba with her Peach dessert, Princess Victoria and her Sponge Cake and Princess Margherita with her famous pizza.
