Day 4 - Heal/Devour. A magical Healer and Baba Yaga who is said to devour children. I know neither are really fairies but I definitely think Baba Yaga falls into that world. I really enjoyed drawing Baba Yaga!! I am so so impressed with everyone's art!

Vasilisa The Beautiful. . I have a VERY special edition of my Stories By Candlelight series for you today! (Yes! It’s back!!) Uploaded to my IGTV right now is the first part of the classic Russian fairytale ‘Vasilisa the Beautiful’. So get yourself a cup of tea (or something a bit stronger), curl up under a cosy blanket and enjoy a traditional tale (You can find my IGTV at the top of my Instagram page next to my Story Highlights) . This magical tale features the fearsome witch Baba Yaga and the brave Vasilisa who, forced by her evil stepmother and daughters, must brave the forest and the Yaga’s chicken legged house to bring back fire for her family. . This story is extra special as it has been illustrated especially for my story series by the talented @isabella_ragazzi_artwork Isabella created this gorgeous illustration you see here inspired by the classic Russian illustrations by Ivan Bilibin, and I’m so, so happy with how it turned out! The original of this illustration is for sale at the moment for whoever is lucky enough to snatch it up first! ☠️☠️☠️ . I hope you enjoy the first part of this tale and I’d love to know what you all think of it! Look out for part 2 coming next Sunday! .

I had not read this folktale until recently, but I immediately fell in love with the imagery (most especially the original illustrations painted by Ivan Bilibin) - can you name the tale? ☠️ #commission #russianfolktales #ivanbilibin

Flying to Jaén, Spain to give a talk there at 25th anniversary of Jaén University. Going to perform my visual songs there. The goal of my mission is to introduce more diversity to our society, challenge stereotypes and clichés! I believe the art is the tool to educate ourselves for a wide perseption of beauty!
