EDIT: Here it is painted. I've been working hard! I still intend to add things to it via photoshop (small effects here and there) as well as smooth it out but over all, this is the general idea....The corner up by the Red Queen needs some filling, dont you think? Probably gonna add something there as a background element with photoshop, but yeah...sorry about the poor photo quality at the moment!

Just ordered some new product in...

So, I finally ordered some more product. I've had a promo code for a discount on my fridge since some time last year and as it was going to expire this month, I decided to go ahead and use it.

I ordered some business cards as well as various button packages. I hope to order some bookmarks as soon as I find a reasonable place to have them printed. So far all I can find are places that want to print them, but at a minimum of 100 each, and I really dont need that many just yet, kay thanks!

As for what I did order...

I ordered three sets of five buttons featuring my Alice in Wonderland characters, the White Rabbit, The Mad Hatter, and my Cheshire.

I hope to display my stuff this March at this art festival that's going to be taking place on the 6th. While selling Miche bags, I'll also have postcards, stationary, buttons and magnets for sale, as well as having my new business cards out and on display.

Cheshire

The Cheshire

Start of the boy's series to compliment the Ladies of Wonderland set.

Every time I get close to you...

So this is the art I created for Kathy. I hope she likes it...I'm interested in seeing how the Giclee prints turn out. I got a notice today that they were shipped this morning FedEx Ground so I should get them approximately....never, lolz. Or so is the word around the water cooler.

I really hope she likes it though. It gave me unexpected problems throughout the process, which was random, lolz. I busted the drawing out without any complications whatsoever, but then when I went to paint I had giant "*points at paper* NANI!?" moments, lolz. I put the words in there cause...they worked! Her face was like, "is she sad, is she happy, what is she? WHAT?"
and that was the end result -____-

I've had a slow couple days due to some uh, obsessive behaviors >> but I'm hoping to get it back together today xD I finished the ink for my Cheshire (finally, ahaha... ) and hope to get it painted if I don't get too retarded in the process. I also started a Mad Hatter but that was epic fail for some reason so I may play with that some more, as I don't wanna do much of anything on Bi-Weekly until its open to everyone. Don't wanna be unfair!

Anyway...click the title for a wonderful video and rather relaxing song. =]

Go Ask Alice.

So I drew these specifically for sticker/magnet/keychain design and inserted the words in over it. I can't decide if I like them or not but I don't think they're bad. The could be cute for stickers or keychains, me do think so. Also, this introduces my Mad Hatter and Cheshire onto the Alice scene. I've had these guys designed for quite some time now but just didn't put them into the same Alice series as the Ladies set for some reason.

I actually even have a totally different version of Cheshire drawn to fall into a set of postcards meant to compliment the Ladies series. My Cheshire is similiar in features, but the attitude and aura he gives off are two TOOOTTAALLLY different things. The Cheshire above is more so one of those people who stands back and observes, but can be pretty mischevious in his own right. The Cheshire for my postcard series is much more uh...flamboyant, as you can see below:

Whoa-ho right? Def. not giving off the same vibes as my other Cheshire. This ones all, " I wear tight pants. Don't act like you don't like it." *shakes his lil tush on the cat walk* I'm thinking of having roses and that lil bell repeat in the background behind him, but the roses will be kind of tainted and wilted, with an over all purple and blueish black tone.

See, I have this WHOLE story in my mind that relates to my Alice world...I guess I kind of imagined this Cheshire as the Cheshire tainted by the Red Queen. My Mad Hatter is missing an eye...I explained (and I use that word loosely) some of this in a previous post.
