In my Etsy shop now: hand-embellished fine art prints of Snow White and the Poisoned Apple, gilded with gold leaf.
See listing for more details.
And remember kids: an apple a day keeps the prince away. So maybe try pears instead.

Fairy Tale ‘Spellcasters’
I was asked to draw original versions of characters using magic. Most of us have our first encounter with magic in the stories we hear as children, so I looked to fairy tales for my inspiration.
Here are the 10 insert cards I did for this set (Spellcasters by PernaStudios).
There’ll also be 3 return cards coming – one of which will feature Snow White’s stepmother again…!
Cinderella is transformed
The Lord of the Forest breathes life into the woods
Gingerbread Witch charms the sweet things
The Pied Piper’s inescapable music
Puck summons the sprites
Macbeth’s Witches foretell the future
Odette is turned into a swan
Rumplestiltskin gold from straw
Maleficent becomes the dragon
The Sandman’s dust
