Moss Piglet (July 2025):
Alice in Wonderland
Once again, it's a submission to "Moss Piglet" is a small art magazine out of Kenosha, Wisconsin which I've been contributing to for the past few years (tell 'em John says "Hi"). This time, it was a mash-up of "Alice in Wonderland" and Rosie the Riveter, which seems appropriate given it's Labor Day, today. I'm not entirely sure why I went with making Alice a tattooed punker--aside from being able to use the tattoos to get to illustrate other "Alice in Wonderland" characters. Also, being a child of the 70's and 80's, I always liked the Punk aesthetic.
I dunno, I may also enlarge this one as a print if there is interest, as well. I guess we shall see...
Here's a copy of the J. Howard "We Can Do It!" Poster featuring Rosie the Riveter, a symbol of the Labor Movement, used as the template for this "Alice in Wonderland" digital painting.

STEP TWO: Well, I once again had forgotten to do much in the way of a work-in-progress, so here's the finished digital painting.
