Queen Alice and the Leg of Mutton

“You look a little shy; let me introduce you to that leg of mutton,” said the Red Queen. “Alice — Mutton; Mutton — Alice.” The leg of mutton got up in the dish and made a little bow to Alice…

Red Knight

At this moment her thoughts were interrupted by a loud shouting of “Ahoy! Ahoy! Check!” and a Knight, dressed in crimson armour, came galloping down upon her, brandishing a great club. just as he reached her, the horse stopped suddenly: “You’re my prisoner!” the Knight cried, as he tumbled off his horse.

The Walrus and the Carpenter

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee

Next series of illustrations are from the second book about Alice Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee (Rus. Траляля и Труляля)

“Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.”

White Rabbit

Back in the art school I had a brief for series of illustrations on Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. I’ve done 5 images in a style that was new for me. And since then I always had a desire to extend the series, but never had time and an impulse to start. So now time it is.

Corcoise

I decided to share one of my favorite illustrator on Flickr – L Filipe dos Santos (aka Corcoise). He mostly draw skinny girls with big eyes and noses and this would be not enough for me to like the artist but for opposite effect. But Corcoise’s people are so lively, so perfect-unperfect that I love to see everithing he draws or paints. And he does a lot, with all kind of natural media.

Take a look!
