One of the best commissions I ever had was to create the new Alice in wonderland Characters

One of the most fun jobs or commissions I had was the new Alice in wonderland

The biggest challenge was I had to make one & a stencil the teens to be able to trace & make their own. Another challenge was in the new movie the Cheshire cat’s strips sort of glowed. Have you ever tried Martha’s glitter? This is not children’s glitter, it is glitter for the art gods. Here he is almost finished. He still stays in the art room at Temple. The only finished photo him finished is with Hobbes laying on him. I had to draw Alice, the Mad Hatter, The red Queen. The Cheshire cat beat them all as far as loving what I’m doing.

This is Zohar, he was made by Louis Rosenthal & as scary as he may look

He never scared me. The story was this man was trapped in a cave with a pin hole sized hole allowing light for him to read & write by, but he had to move the book each sentence at a time. This is what I remember, I don’t know if that is the important part or even correct part. But it’s the part that my memory holds when I was told as a little girl. I thought even though he is suffering & alone, he can still read stories. As you know, a good story can take you out of your time & plant you in another, a book can be a time machine, a book can stop time. A book can make you understand who you are or who you want to be. I never watch tv…sounds snobby, but I used to, but my husband wanted to flip channels during commercial & then would want to start watching something thats almost done. GRRRRR! So he watches t.v. on the couch. I go to my room snuggle in & I’m gone.
