[Alice in Wonderland] Related tangents, prints…
posted by Meg Hunt.
Not to get off topic from the amazing art being posted, but these are Alice-related snippets of information, so please enjoy!
1) I was researching some things and remembered people being interested in Picture Book Report prints. Unfortunately due to the rights, much of our bookshelf probably can’t be reproduced (unless someone can set me straight!) but at least for me, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is in the public domain. So I decided to start posting my illustrations as available prints through Society6. So please check it out if you’re looking to bring Alice into your home! I will post these in the future along with each blog post so there won’t be a lot of cluttering.
2) There are a couple of very fun Alice-themed gallery shows opening up (coinciding with a little flick released soon) that I got to take part in. Little Alice is taking her journey to Alhambra, CA and Ottawa, Canada!
- Curiouser and Curiouser opens 2/27 at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, CA (word on the street is that there will be exclusive concept art and treats from the movie at the opening!)
- Two Days Slow opens 3/4 at Canteen Gallery in Ottawa, Ontario (in Canada!).
Both shows have a lot of awesome work, so please do check it all out!

Just when I had given up all hope…something wonderful happened.

Book: Where the Red Fern Grows (purchase on Amazon)
“I sat down on an old sycamore log, and started thumbing through the leaves. On the back pages of the magazine I came to the “For Sale” section-”Dogs for Sale”-every kind of dog. I read on and on. They had dogs I had never heard of, names I couldn’t make out. Far down in the right-hand corner, I found an ad that took my breath away. In small letters, it read: ‘Registered redbone coon hound pups- twenty five dollars each.’ “
In this early part of the story Billy finds a sportsman’s magazine left behind at a fishing campsite. After reading the ad he puts together a plan to get the hunting dogs he wants so badly. He starts making money catching bait for fisherman and selling opossum, rabbit, and skunk hides at his grandfather’s store. It takes him two years to save up the fifty dollars.
