the smoking caterpillar
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.
