The March Hare

Here's another Tea Party participant. Just watched the 1966 BBC Alice in Wonderland last night, I am going to try to get a drawing of Alice and Peter Cook's Mad Hatter done in the next day or so for my movie couples series. Will save my thoughts about the film for that post.

For those of you who haven't done the blurb publishing thing, it's a hoot. I have a background in design and am having a lot of fun, design has elements of both language and visual art, but one is always trying to make it invisible, to let the work speak, so it is very restful. I'm finding myself sort of excited about the limitations, the gutter in the center and the right-hand edge of the two page spread. Makes me want to do something with the famous Oscar Wilde quote, "We are all in the gutter but some of us...."Any ideas?

One blogger who has used the blurb software is Tom at Half Moose with a Twist. His Post modern nonsense verse with illustrations is on blurb here. And happy birthday to the captain of the astronave.

Alice in Wonderland/The March Hare trapped

I have a few images, like Alice and the key, that are takeoffs from the original story. In this case, the reference is to the March Hare ruining the works of a watch with the best butter - mostly an excuse to take this photo in the all-but-dry creek bed where I shot the Alice dreaming and one of the Third Man pursuit photos.
