.... in looking-glass house?

just finished this morning ... another of the drawings for the "looking-glass" book.

In case it isn't obvious ... Alice is holding the black kitten up to the mirror to show her the room in looking glass house. This might be their reflection or it could be the view from the looking glass side .... not even sure myself!

For those of you who are curious about such things I kept a track of how long it took to do ... about 12 hours spread over four days.

I love how Alice is slightly ugly. The appraising look, fly-away hairs, and crooked tooth make it feel much more real than the blank little girl usually drawn. Of course, in light of her actually getting into the looking-glass and subsequent adventures, the realistic quality adds almost a more dreamy/nightmarish quality to the story. I would love to buy a book with your illustrations in them. At least they aren't Tenniel (sp?) re-hashes. +fave!

Very well drawn, I love the cat! :)

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present. <3 .

Hi Brian,
First thing tomorrow, I am chucking all my rapidographs. They are obviously flawed.

I am amazed that you did that in 12 hours and I am dying to know if you have a model or photograph for reference. I would really love a copy of the book for my daughter... where and when will it be available? She and I both LOVE your work! What a gift!
