parasitegirlIt would be fair to say that the Oz books and the Alice books were highly influencial in my childhood and in my desire to illustrate (I entered art school wanting to illustrate childrens' books...insane ones).
And Tim Burton is making an Alice movie...I mean there are many reasons why not to make Alice at all...because it is a story that wanders here and there with no real direction...but you probably feel like I do, if anyone can do the eye candy of my brain as a child reading those books some justice it might be Mr. Burton.
By now everyone has seen the character pictures of the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland project...and only one bothers me.
The White Queen....
Oh, Anne Hathaway's look, I love...I do...
But the White Queen in Through the Looking Glass is and old dottering lady....and...well...chess, not cards, so she has no battle to pick with the Queen of Hearts, much less a power struggle, she's too busy getting bossed about on occasion by the RED queen.
