ABOUT

This series entitled "Tales from Across the Globe" features all of my work from my Senior Portfolio at Laguna College of Art and Design. In this series, I would chose different folktales from different countries around the world and illustrate a scene from them. I have done an Indonesian Folktale about Mousedeer and Tiger, where the Mousedeer is the trickster animal of Indonesian culture and tricks a Tiger into trying on the "King's Belt" which ends up being a cobra to prevent the tiger from eating him. Then I chose an English folktale about the "King of the Cats" and chose the scene where the King Cat has an accident while his court is on a dog hunt. Urashima and the Dragon Palace is a Japanese folktale about a young man who rescues a turtle and gets taken to the Dragon King's Palace under the sea. A Bolivian folktale about an Armadillo who desperately wants to be able to sing, but can't because he is an armadillo was next. To make up for being unable to make the beautiful sounds him self, he would go and listen to the birds, crickets and frogs' beautiful voices at work. There is the Finnish folktale about a young man who gets a mouse as a sweetheart, and has to test her weaving skills before they can get married. Finally I completed a piece on the Greek myth of Bellerophon, the hero who tamed Pegasus with a golden bridle given to him by Athena and uses his new steed to help him defeat the previously unbeatable Chimaera.
