i don’t usually post the work i do for… well, work, but i kinda like the way this one came out.
i was assigned to draw the hookah smoking caterpillar for a drug course at the school i work at. other than that i pretty much had free reign to do what i want. if i ever had the opportunity to draw illustrations for an alice in wonderland book, i’d take it before the queen of hearts could yell, “off with her head!”

Very cool! I love the fog effect on the ground.
Add me to the list who’d do Alice illustrations any day. I love that story.
-
Beautiful! I am always wary of everyone’s renditions of the “Alice” characters, but this certainly passes the test. I would love to see a whole book in your style.
-
fab work! very inspirational!
-
Really great! I agree that it would be a treat to see your version of the Alice in Wonderland tale.
-
Nice. Love Alice in particular.

I have this piece tattoo’d on my back!!! It’s quite large, my entire right shoulder blade. And I have gotten SEVERAL complements on it! I would like to pass those on to you. I had no idea this was an original piece. Now 3 years later I am getting the rest of the piece done (my whole right side, should and back). You said you would take the opportunity to draw illustrations for an alice and wonderland book in a heartbeat. Would you be willing to draw a few things for my new piece of art??? I would be beyond grateful!!!!!! Please email me at LuvMeMJ@yahoo.com.
Thank you again for your artistic talent and sharing it!
(p.s. I would like to apologise for any offense in getting the piece done-as stated I was fully unaware it had a sole creator as yourself)Peace.Love.GanjaGreen.
