Alice and the Red King

Here's the scene from the book of Alice and the Red King dreaming (a second version involving more mirrors to come in a few days). It's non-canonical - Alice is actually awake when she is told that she is part of the Red King's dream. I have donated this 8" x 10" print to Made for Aid, please go to their site if you would like to bid on it (funds collected go to Haiti and Darfur) or one of the other handcrafts there now.

Dream Hierarchy

Who's in charge?* Alice ponders the question at the end of Through the Looking Glass - Did she dream of the Red King, or was the Red King dreaming of her (in line with the Chinese philosopher who asked the same question about a butterfly)? The Kalihari Bushmen say "There is a dream dreaming us." Pleasant dreams to you, in any case. Monday will see the beginning of two weeks of Alice in Wonderland here.

*This is a response to the Illustration Friday prompt "Hierarchy".

P.S. Power to the people, right on.

Edit: Oh, I meant to mention - any resemblance of the Red king to Cary Grant around the eyes is due to a lot of drawing of Cary Grant recently, and no reference for the Red King in the book.
