2D Nursery Rhymes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nursery rhymes are something that we associate with playfulness, and childhood. Naivete and Innocence.

But, most nursery rhymes actually had dark origins, reflecting the darkness of the times they were

conceived in. As such, my aim was to take 2 nursery rhymes, Ring- Around- The- Rosie,

and Humpty Dumpty, giving it my own dark, morbid, interpretation, with each frame flowing

in a narrative style.
