Macaroni Code

Introductory images for a game I had dearly wished to complete. The theme centered on fairy tales and humorous takes on each. I wanted to preserve the enchanting quality in the Grimms stories but use much of the humor and lightheartedness that can be found in Italo Calvino's wonderful Italian Folk Tales. The colors and style were inspired by frescoes of Piero della Francesca, an early Renaissance painter. The characters I created were very much like Hansel and Gretel, but also based on my children.

In the game, the children would select books that recounted fairy tales and solve the stories’ puzzles.
