Japanese Alice Artists
I posted a couple of cards from Yoshi on the Facebook page and promised to give a little bit more info about them.
My favourite of the cards is the Cheshire Cat
which was created by Mitsuji Kamata, born 1958. He's a steampunk fan who makes three-dimensional sculptures and dolls. Click here and here to see some of his work, and one of his "Alice" dolls is shown at the top of the post.
I also like Humpty Dumpty, above. The artist's name is OKA, and all I can find out about her is that she was born in 1983. But if this image is anything to go by, she was influenced by Heironymus Bosch! Look a little closer at Alice viewing herself inside Humpty...
The illustrator of the following image,
showing Alice, the White Rabbit, the King and Queen of Hearts, is Yui Nakano, She was born in 1988 and graduated from Kobe Design University in 2011. Her work appears in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Visual Fan Book - the fashion book supervised by Eitaro Takei, which you can read about in the previous post.
Finally, this is by Yui Nakano
and you can see more of her work here
