Mad Hatter


My daughter's Montessori Pre-School is gearing up for their semi-annual fundraising auction. It's a terrific school, with incredibly caring staff and founding members, for which my wife and I are eternally thankful. Thusly, despite my chronically "behind" state of being, I couldn't say 'no' when they asked me to create some sort of image for their Mad Hatter's Tea Party themed event. I don't paint with acrylics very often, but the immediate brightness was hard to resist (especially for cranking something out), and it turned an already worthwhile project into a futher experiment with new mediums.

This looks great Erik, bright and fun and all the pattern work is really nice. I just got the scanner I had buried in the basement to work and purchased a used light box for sixty bucks, that's 18x25", anyways I'm just trying to assemble some tools... next on the list is an art projector, or maybe a computer projector, once I find those I'll start blowing stuff up and painting on canvas. Anyways, talk to you soon.
