Two ideas, one scary house.

The Forbidden Zone by Andrea Zuill

      I ‘ve been playing with the idea of creating artwork featuring buildings.  The first idea I had was of the gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretal.   I like the idea of a cute,  sweet house being the home of a evil witch.   The first image I came up with was to have gingerbread men “scarecrows”   that are simular to the scarecrows from The Planet of the Apes.  I remember in one Hansel and Gretal movie that the gingerbread men around the witches home where actually transformed children. 

Free Candy by Andrea Zuill

      Second,  I had the idea to make the image a bit simpler.  So you can see in the image about that I just have the house and a sign reading, “Free Candy”.   I trying to decide which image I like best.  I personally get of kick out of the scarecrows and the title, “the Forbidden Zone”.  It all makes me feel very clever.  But, there is a bit of charm in the simplicity of the image Free Candy. 

Please give me your thoughts.  I need help.

    I think you might add a little something foreboding into the second picture. Not totally obvious, but to be discovered after looking at it a while. I just love your humor!

    I like both, but for the Hansel & Gretel witch house, the “Free Candy” is the way to go (because would you walk up to a Candy/Gingerbread house if scary, voodoo-looking gingerbread men were staked up around it)? nooooo….

    HOWEVER, if I had artistic ability, I would use BOTH, and make the gingerbread men the sentinels (as is) for the witch’s cousin the Voodoo Doctor, who lives just over in the next clearing. maybe.

    I love them both! :)

    they really are scary. I was thinking about a cookie (or two) a few minutes ago, and now I don’t think I want one…
