We are all a little mad in here....

I love the details on this: the Hatter's patchwork outfit, the blood (presumably Alice's own) dripping from the black rose, the playing-card staircase spiraling off to infinity, even the suit symbols doubling as windows to different places.

Thank you. This piece was really fun to design.

Hm, I had thought of what you called blood as paint (you know, painting the roses red), but I do believe blood fits better with the darkness of the rest of the piece, so we'll go with your version.

It looked to me like she had pricked her thumb on a thorn, perhaps deliberately, and then let the blood run down.

I'm glad you like my interpretation; as a poet, it's always a treat for me when someone points out an association that I hadn't realized was hiding in there.

I am not a poet.

I do, however, write poetry on occasion... but that doesn't make me a poet.

I've got some of my writing lurking around my other dA account.

So I see. Which brings me to my next question (which you don't have to answer if it's none of my business): what led you to make a second account in the first place?

If you read the first journal entry I posted on this account, it explains it. In lovely listy form. (It's faster for me to say that than to type it all out again.)

Oh I love it! All these little details must have taken you forever! I love Alice' clothes and her expression. It reminds me a little bit on the video game my sister was once playing - something about a grown up Alice that returns to wonderland to rescue it.

American McGee's Alice? Yeah, I've heard of it and seen art from it, but that's my only exposure to it. I don't play videogames, it's against my religion. (Kidding on the last bit.)

This piece is about a year and a half old.... one of my last full-blown pencil pieces done in a sketchbook. I kind of outgrew my sketchbook-as-canvass dogma.
