in the extreme.
I have something of and obsession with Alice at the moment.
In fact: that's what my whole year-long art project I'm doing in school is on. All things alice.
My paintings reasonably ace in my opinion: Alice sits on a checkered mantlepiece, her hand sinking into the looking glass beside her; she's anime-esque in a patterned dress that's mainly deep blue.
The White rabbit is almost some kind of plastic robot type thing (a cross between a robosapien, a furbie, and a bunny); he's got skeleton prints, and a clock in his chest that has thirteen arms pointing at random numbers. He's wind-up and the screw you twist to turn him on has "time is running out" engraved around its base.
the Mad hatter is like a copy of the Disney one I guess; his head pops out the looking glass, as does his hand which pours tea from a ploka-dot teapot into a cup which reads "Drink Me".
Playing Cards with black heads and lazing limbs litter Alice's lap and the mantle peice around her; some falling to the ground, or into the rabbit-hole which is placed in the hearth where the fire goes.
on the ground is a copy of "Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" by Haruki Murakami, lying amongst the talking flowers and the grass blades.
There's a series of bookshelves and a flying pocket-watch with angel wings to the right, and on the left (in violet graffiti), are the words "Down to Wonderland" and an arrow pointing to the rabbit hole.
So yeah. I'm in the Alice Zone at the moment. And this is perfect for that. I love it. Really. You could even put it up on FanFiction i guess... I loved the turning of the rabbit from white to black. "mute tea party" and the wierd disjointed harmony which comes from "A false trail...I didn't do it...but still the queen of broken hearts...has a noose around my neck..."
