How do you craft the legend of Robin Hood?


Told and retold countless times--the legend of the man known as Robin Hood (Robyn of the Hood, Robin of Loxley, the Earl of Huntingdon) has been around for centuries. To recreate it is a task, to do it with any originality quite the challenge. Fall of 2009, a group of us at BYU-Idaho got together in an Advanced Illustration class and set out to develop a Robin Hood story product. Guided by a jovial chap--Wade Huntsman (an apt surname for such a venture) we went to work studying and trying to adapt Howard Pyle's novelization to screen. It was one of the best classes, the most fun I've ever done.


Two years later, I've contacted some of who were there and invited them to try their hand at the merry man from Sherwood again. A fun exercise, one I'm very interested to see what it brings about...you should check it out too, and then tell ten friends to do so...
