Ogre illustrations: Sleeping Beauty
Too many people forget that Sleeping Beauty is an “ogre tale”. Well... The French version of the story, as told by Charles Perrault, is an ogre tale, with the second antagonist being the evil, wicked, old queen/mother-queen of the prince, an ogress with a particular fondness for the Robert sauce. Here is a series of various illustrations putting forward this too-often neglected character.
Illustration of the queen giving the order to her (technically butler but he is dressed as a cook here) to kill little Dawn and cook her at the Robert sauce. Created by Jacques Godefroi-Jean Midderich and Bertall for the 1893 “Contes de fées tirés de Perrault, Mme d’Aulnoy et Mme Leprince de Beaumont”, part of “La bibliothèque rose illustrée”.
Illustration of the ogress-queen throwing herself into the vat of snakes and toads, taken from Garnier frère’s “Contes des fées par Perrault, Mme d’Aulnoy, Hamilton et Mme Leprince de Beaumont” (date unclear, between 1850 and 1880). Illustrator unknown.
The queen-ogress killing herself upon the arrival of her son the king, 1865. Unknown artist: part of the famous “images d’Epinal”, more precisely the “Scottish series” of the imagerie d’Epinal.
Character design and costume concept for the role of the ogress, as played by the famous comic actor Tiercelin, in the “folie-comi-parade” play known as “L’ogresse ou La belle au bois dormant” (1811). Costumes by Fortuné Potier, drawing by Joly.
The mother-queen suspecting her son of hiding a secret. Illustration by Olivier Desvaux for his “La Belle au bois dormant” (2011)
Malcolm Ashman’s illustration of the old queen preparing the vat of snakes and toads, for Kara May’s “French Fairy Tales”, 1992
Harry Clarke’s illustration of the wicked queen asking for her grand-children to be cooked a la “sauce piquante”. From the 1922′s “Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault”, London.
The evil queen jumping into the pit of snakes. Unknown artist, late 19th century.

Today's landscape painter is Malcolm Ashman who was born in Bath, Somerset, UK in 1957, he still lives there. He is a member of the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) and Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI), and has exhibited widely in London and the South of England, His fascination with landscape has a root in this story:
“When I was 7 my parents bought a painting from an artist who was selling door to door. It was the first painting I’d ever seen, real paint on canvas. It was a landscape, Lake Como, and the most exotic thing I’d ever seen.Before that my experience of painting had been from books, my main source, bought with pocket money aged 4 years, were the Ladybird books ‘What to Look for in Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter.' These early influencers are still some of my most treasured possessions.
Growing up in a small village the landscape dominated my life, a place of safety to play in. Spurred on Tunnicliffe and my daily surroundings I decided I would be an artist.The landscape has remained that place of play and experimentation, an escape route, somewhere to reflect and follow that 4 year old’s impulse.Alongside this runs a desire to engage with others, something I avoided for a long time.
Recent drawings and paintings of the male figure began as a personal exploration of where I fitted in. Growing up, keeping a low profile, I’d never really known. The only requirement to ‘be a man’ it seemed was to be angry. My early experiences had been of the pack where individuality was rejected often violently. Removed from that group dynamic most people behave differently and reveal something of their true selves.

megastar monday - adam ant
stand and deliver, chickens!!!!
well, this day was bound to happen, as all three of us here at PCR love us some adam ant. while some of you may only see a coiffed and makeup-ed dude, there is a whole lot more there to dig into.
Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard; 3 November 1954) was an only child born in Marylebone, London to Leslie Alfred Goddard and Betty Kathleen Smith. Home was two rooms in De Walden buildings, St John's Wood. He recalls: "There was no luxury, but there was always food on the table." His father had served in the Royal Air Force and worked as a chauffeur, and his mother was an embroiderer for Norman Hartnell. He is of partial Romani descent; his maternal grandfather, Walter Albany Smith, was Romanichal. This heritage would become a basis for a theme in his later work: a concern for oppressed minorities.
Adam and the Ants started as part of the burgeoning punk rock movement. Ant later acted in Derek Jarman's seminal "punk" film Jubilee in 1977, as Adam and the Ants was beginning to gig around London with manager Jordan from the SEX Boutique on Kings Road. His debut as a recording artist was the song "Deutscher Girls", which featured on the film's soundtrack, along with "Plastic Surgery" which was performed in the film itself. "Deutscher Girls"/"Plastic Surgery" was re-released as a single in 1982. The band toured extensively around the UK but proved to be unpopular with much of the British music press who disliked their fetishistic lyrics and imagery. Late 1979 saw the release of their début album Dirk Wears White Sox (1979, Do It Records), with Matthew Ashman on guitar, Leigh Gorman on bass and Dave Barbarossa on drums. Adam Ant approached Malcolm McLaren (the manager of The Sex Pistols) and asked him to manage the band. McLaren subsequently took the rest of the Ants from the original group when he introduced the singer Annabella Lwin and began the process of honing Bow Wow Wow for chart success. Later Adam seemed to have reconciled with the fact. "I like to use the word 'mutiny'. My band was happy to go. Malcolm tried to see if I could fit into Bow Wow Wow, but I never could've or would've”.
Adam is still active, still performing, and over the years has released 10 albums either with the ants or solo. he has also dabbled in acting, which with that face, who can blame him for trying.....
insouciant, dapper, dangerous and always delightful, ladies and gents, we give you a day of adam ant.
ridicule is nothing to be ashamed of kisses.
