I had this idea when I worked the Wonderland Ball at the Grand, a very luxurious charity event decorated to become wonderland.
There were many actors who greeted the guests, such as an Alice with her looking glass who asked if I was a henchman for the Queen of Hearts (we were obviously staff). I have never been more in my element in my life.
The mad hatter stayed impressively in character, and he really was batty. The Cheshire cat was a contortionist. Seeing real people (theatre kids) acting wonderland characters made me think of Antonia and how good she'd be as the mad hatter. HOW haven't I drawn her as him before? (Spoiler alert - I almost definitely have and have since forgotten).
Next time I'll work on a bigger canvas.
Really pleased with the background colour and tonality of this piece. I love bright colours and I appreciate that it complicates things when trying to keep a piece coherent. Luckily, I did go for a slightly oversaturated chaos for this one, and tried to keep my colours in the pink and purple side of the spectrum.
Loving October and Halloween costume inspiration month.
