Pop culture artists love to sexualize fairytale princesses, as I’ve written about on many occasions.
Most recently, I reviewed sexy Little Mermaid/Ariel artwork online in July.
For this installment in my series on sexy fairytale characters, I take a look at sexy depictions of Sleeping Beauty, aka Aurora and Briar Rose.
Artist Elias Chatzoudis has done several stunning illustrations of Sleeping Beauty. (See examples at top and below.)
In March, he published a compilation of mature fairytale artwork called “Fairy Tales by Elias.” (Check out his website at Art of Elias.)
