Tin Can Forest's "Bremen Musicians" Is Coming

Tin Can Forest is working with more fairy tales! 

Sing Fire Like Dragons (print available)
I love Tin Can Forest's work. It's perhaps not for everyone, but there's no denying it's mythic and folkloric-full.

Just look at how at home in the forest their artwork is! (see right)

This time it looks like they're retelling a whole tale in a book, so I can't wait to see their take on it (and I do love this story with the old animals triumphing over the baddies!)

From the press release:
"We Are Going To Bremen To Be Musicians" by Geoff Berner and Tin Can Forest - Book Launch 
Thursday May 7th, 2015
Book Launch at 7pm, Geoff Berner Performance at 9pm

Fairy Tale News New Year's Bumper Edition: Fashion

  • Wild at Heart (Fall fashion slideshow feature by ZoomZoom) In this fall fashion feature, Erik Almas takes 1930s paintings, taxidermy animals, and the modern woman to create diorama-like images of fashion in the wild. The result is an amalgam of the fairy tale and the mythological muse. The images conjure narratives of the heroine who can talk to animals, live amongst the brown bears, and rule nature itself.

  • Cinderella's Closet, which provides dresses to under privileged teens for their proms, is calling for gently used prom dresses.
