Alice in Wonderland Leaning on a Buttercup

6" x 9"

I found out about a project by Mike Schneider where the entire book of "Alice In Wonderland" would be told completely by illustration with no text, so I contacted him to see if I could join in on the fun. He was very happy to hear from me and sent me this paragraph to illustrate:

"And yet what a dear little puppy it was!" said Alice, as she leant against a buttercup to rest herself, and fanned herself with one of the leaves, "I should have liked teaching it tricks very much, if – if I’d only been the right size to do it! Oh dear! I’d nearly forgotten that I’ve got to grow up again! Let me see – how is it to be managed? I suppose I ought to eat or drink something or other; but the great question is, what?"

To see it online, along with other terrific illustrations by other artists, check out his Facebook page called "What is the Use of A Book Without Pictures?" My illustration is image 98.
