Original fairy tales are a personal project inspired by a book of old fairy tales I found in an antique book store. I compared it with Disney's famous animated fairy tales and noticed that a lot of parts from the book were either changed or left out. I took all of those censored parts — as well as the parts that represented each fairy tale (e.g. apple is the symbol of Snow white) — and combined them all into one illustration. The illustration (and sheet format) is 500x707mm and is folded into 8 page booklet that contains the original uncensored version of the fairy tale.
