Artist's Comments

About: A black-and-white homage to Alice in Wonderland done for my Illustration studio class. I wanted to make a muddled journey -- difficult to navigate and from the perspective relative to Alice. Alice as she is (in identity) is unknown. This was an attempt to focus more upon the psychological journey without strictly refrencing previous images and only the accompanying text by Lewis Carroll. My inspiration came from researching the amazon jungle; a world that crawls with life forms easily overlooked. The python which writhes underwater may seem nothing but a overgrown root until investigated further -- one may not know what they are exactly looking at so that the danger and intrigue is inescapable. The strange camoflage and patterns relect an alien way of life among these animals and plants... my hope was to deliver Alice in a new way with a flair not meant to be strictly disturbing/gothic/ or victorian. I hope you will appreciate it.

Alice peers beyond her sister's shoulder as they are reading in the shade of trees.

wow.. very eery.. the uncleanly aspect of this image really lends to an almost gritty reality - you really achieved the through-alice's-eyes that you were going for with this. the details in the division of the sisters hair is superb! i loves it.

beautifully rendered trees, too !! the curves of the roots are all so natural and pose its weight and solidity very well versus other items in this page

...stitching up the back... and in the shadows... she moves.

Excellent stuff! :heart: :worship:
I like your link with rainforests - it's so much stronger than AiW's gothic revisualizations. (on that note, you might be interested in [link])

Thank you so much! A lot of the images in your gallery are thought provoking. almost with prophetic imagery.. so that I think, you must be a clever person. c:
