The fourteenth notebook (the one about Alice)

I find "Alice" to be irresistible as a subject. I almost wish I was not as fascinated by her because so many artists (and lesser artists) have worked on this theme. Yet, I do like working on ideas that have provided the leitmotif of multiple artworks throughout the history of art, religious subjects included and of course Ophelia. I love them all. To Alice and the rest of the characters from both "Alice in Wonderland" and my personal favorite "through the looking glass" I decided to dedicate this sketchbook (other-wisely called "the fourteenth"). As expected I could not force myself to keep a sole topic and I added clouds to the experiment.

The book in question is one of the thinner ones I have made so far. It has only 20 A5 pages. I made it from re-claimed photocopy paper and sustainable handmade packaging paper. The media of drawing are pens, coloured pencils and oil-colours. It is also hand-bound and stitched.

I would like to mention that I keep  all rights regarding the images and texts, but that I would offer some of them for non-commercial use under the condition that my name is clearly stated along the artwork. It would also be very polite if you actually gave notice of your intention to do so by sending me a message here. Please enjoy and don't forget that you can:
