Curiouser and Curiouser

Alice was always a topic of much wonder for me as a child. My mother absolutely loved the curious poetry and strange lore surrounding the story of Alice, the author, Wonderland, and the classic's many interpretations. The book was often read to me, the Disney version was often watched by me, and as I grew older, the very peculiar intertwining of its many moving parts both confounded me and enchanted me well into adulthood. When the live action Tim Burton adaptation of this film was released, I found myself once again pulled toward Wonderland. This piece was completed in 2010 on cheap sketch paper with a combination of permanent marker, watercolor pencils, my own sweat and spit (sorry, not sorry), and whatever else I was experimenting with at the time.  "Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe: all mimsy were the borogroves, and the mome raths outgrabe."
