I’ve seen many modern takes on fairly tales, children’s rhymes, and the like, but none that remind me so fondly of the late Keith Haring. Clemesha’s posterous account is rife with these beauties; entire tales illustrated as a single work, words intact and beautifully scripted. I find it particularly fun to go back through his account and watch as his technique, method, and materials advance as time goes by; his first work (in this style, at least) is formatted similarly to a single-frame cartoon (a la The Far Side) and bear scant resemblance to his most recent works, save the stylistic congruences apparent through the entire series. His more recent works have text integrated into the works and fantastic use of few color elements that really pop.
