Kate Fedos III

Kate Fedos work always strikes like a whirl wind and thats how I imagine her working almost in a blur of speed and action. These are some of her Pinocchio challenge illustrations.

Pinocchio Challenge

A wee reminder that this month of Pinocchio posts is in support of Monty Lee's Pinocchio challenge (Monty's illustration above) which I am one of the co-hosts. With:

"Book Series Challenge - Pinocchio "

The 7 prompts for the next challenge in the Book Series: Pinocchio: 

1. It was a wild and stormy night. Pinocchio had a great fear of thunder but hunger was stronger than fear, he therefore made a rush to the village. 

2. The embraces that Pinocchio received from the excited actors and actresses (all puppets) of the puppet company beat description. 

3. But Pinocchio had not gone far when he met on the road a fox lame with one foot and a cat blind with both eyes... 

4. The doctors came immediately one after the other: namely a crow, an owl and a talking cricket. 

5. Pinocchio swam and swam but to his surprise he found himself enclosed in a great net, together with a swarm of fish of every size and shape, who were flapping and struggling like so many desperate souls.

6. Pinocchio (who'd turned into a donkey) was sold to the director of a company of buffoons and tightrope dancers, who bought him that he might teach him to leap and dance with the other animals. 

7. Pinocchio, who took the candle in his hand, and Gepetto climbed up the throat of the sleeping sea monster and having reached his immense mouth they began to walk on tiptoe down his tongue. ......

The challenge will start on the 4th of March and will run for 7 days so there's plenty of time to prepare.

Please note there are TWO hashtags every day:

"You have hair the colour of gold,"said the fox,"the grain,which is also golden ,will bring me back the thought of you and I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat." Kate Fedos

Kate Fedos I

 

Kate Fedos's illustrations are chaotic, full of domestic mess and craziness, even the mark making seems to have a hazardous franticness and mayhem. It makes me imagine that she is in a pristine studio. I loved the mad cat ladies apron in this the way it is slung around her body like a sail and so so dirty.
