Four new Winnie-the-Pooh stories by Brian Sibley & Co.
2 comments:
I've always like this one. The artwork of both Snow and the Queen seems to depict them well, as the polar opposites that they are. Snow looks as every bit innocent as the Queen does villainous.
This is indeed a stunning image , which shows an influence of Gustav Tenggren's original 1937 American poster but with a decidedly rather darker Russian feel in which the Wicked Queen has the upper hand!
Interestingly the famous Russian film mogul Sergei Eisenstein was a great fan of Walt Disney and loved his story boarding techniques!
