I love drawing monsters. And I love absurdest literature. So, Alice's adventures in wonderland is one of my favorite things ever. Specifically, the Jabberwocky. It is awesome.
This illustration was done by a gentleman named John Tenniel and is exceptional, at least for me, because he's wearing a vest. HILARIOUS.

It also has the mention of two other creatures that have been embellished by other artists (who I totally stalk on twitter): The jubjub bird and the bandersnatch. Carol was always vague as to what these looked like. So, I took a stab at the frumonious bandersnatch.
Because somehow the word "frumonious" makes me think poisonous.
Shun the frumonious bandersnatch! |
Now, some may know, I work two jobs (have for almost a year) and one of them is at night at a school for medical and dental assistants. People who aren't clever enough to be dentists or nurses.
They have, two or three times a year, a national phlebotomy (blood drawing) exam.
I have to baby sit for it.
On a Saturday.
For regular pay.
I so loved the little detail of the Jabberwocky wearing a vest that Edwardian fashion came into my jubjub and bandersnatch. The bandersnatch is wearing a bowler, the jubjub bird has a monocle and spats.
Spats=classy, it is a scientific fact.
