Painting the roses red

Painting the red roses

Alice in Wonderland. I’ve had this Disney’s Alice in Wonderland book illustrated by Mary Blair since I was a kid. It’s still one of my favorite books, despite being beat up over the years.

From Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland

Lady Ascot: Imbeciles! The garden is planted with white roses when I’ve specifically asked the red.
Alice Kingsley: You can always paint the roses red.
Lady Ascot: What an odd thing to say.

The Caterpillar

Sketch from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, a more realistic albeit dark caterpillar.

Quite Mad

Inspired by an old illustration of the Lewis Carroll stories. Still in progress, working with the colors.

The Door

I’ve been looking at old Disney Alice in Wonderland children’s book, and sketched this tonight. Keeping with the Alice theme this week.

Late

I have to say I am excited to see Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Seeing the animated version many years ago I always had notions of the characters. It will be interesting to see what he does with those iconic characters.
