Post 42: Be Absurd: Adventures in Wonderland

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where–” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
-Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

I had this idea pretty fully fledged so I went ahead and painted it. It’s weird and totally absurd and it makes me uncomfortable. I don’t know that I like it.  It could be a really great as a series if it was better executed obviously. The theme of VW taking you wherever your adventures go is fun and I don’t know if it’s original, but maybe no one else has thought of Alice exploring Wonderland in a car. It opens a door to a bunch more possibilities, perhaps different locations in Wonderland, or famous different book locations like Treasure Island or something. This could be a whole print ad campaign or a series of pseudo-film short commercials. Either way, it’s way cooler done not the way I did this, but that’s just my art’s problem.
