Alice Through the Looking Glass -- Hero Complex Gallery

 

I'm happy I can finally share this illustration I did for a gallery show hosted by Hero Complex Gallery! The show opened yesterday so if you're in LA check it out! Giclee prints of this illustration are on sale at the gallery.

 

The show is based around Alice Through the Looking Glass and is sponsored by Disney (they've got a new movie coming out). Nerdist and Amy Poehler's Smart Girls and Insider Disney have all posted about it.

 

It's been an educational experience for me, dipping my toe into the gallery world. Last year I did PIXELHEARTS with Gallery 1988 and I was in the Showcase 100 with Hire An Illustrator over in the UK. I hope to exhibit more in the future!

Alice in Wonderland original prints on Etsy!

I've added my Alice print to my Etsy Store, check it out! Also for sale is my Rose Red print, here's the blog post I made for that one a while back. I hope to be adding more prints to my shop in the future. If you would like to purchase any of the prints I have on my site (that aren't for sale on Etsy yet), please send me an email and let me know. I'll take a look around my studio and see if I have extras!

There's something kind of nice about this version of the piece, which has all the colour separations blackened and shown at the same time.

Getting some colour

Still figuring out the exact colours and where they're going to go, but I think it's getting there! My friend Alex described it as "bubble gum and mint", which is really appropriate. I'm thinking bubble gum, mint, and some nice dark chocolate.

Coming along

So it's inked up now, on we go to colours!

Really coming together!

Whew! So I'm almost finished the pencils on this one. Gotta finish off that morning glory climbing up the tree and then the back-background. Stay tuned!

New Work in Progress

Working away at it! I'm pretty pleased so far. Will update in another week!

Workin' on another somethin'

Here's a little sample of a piece I'm currently working on. Hopefully next week I'll have even more to show!
