Wonderful Illustrations of Alice in Wonderland

November 24, 2009

PauloGabriel's blog

I've just discovered that Wonderland can be a creepy, creepy place. Unlike the Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland has a much darker side, and artists really love to show it off. Oh little Alice, what happened to you?

Disney's version of the tale is absolutely obsolete as I can see... people don't believe it as the cute story of a girl lost in a different land, but they do believe that Wonderland is one hell of a wicked place to be lost at. Poor Alice has lost her way... and thank God for illustrations like these to show us this dark side of the story... but still, there are some cute images in here, just to remember the good old days. Oh, and don't forget to visit each author's page! They'll love it! Cheers. ;)

Wow, that is a very cool collection of very different styles! The different interpretations of the characters are great, its funny to see so many people taking the darker, more sinister approach.

Top post!

Some of these illustrations are idyllic and others have a 1more sinister nature. It's really nice to see individual illustrators interpretation of a classic story tale.

no darkness in oz? really? what about full scale wars between munchkins and witches? im not saying that alice isnt dark, but saying that oz isnt would be a bald faced lie.
