Psychedelic Alice in Wonderland calendar


Book-design legend John Coulthart has a superb new psychedelic Alice in Wonderland calendar: "Everyone is familiar with Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit but, as I've noted before, themes from, and allusions to, the Alice books run through British psychedelia to an even greater degree. The Beatles put Lewis Carroll in their pantheon of influences on the cover of Sgt. Pepper, and Wonderland's atmosphere of Victorian surrealism chimed perfectly with a resurgence of interest in Victorian art and design. So at the end of September, mulling over ideas, I picked up one of my Lewis Carroll volumes and looked at the chapter list: 12 chapters...12 months...I could do a psychedelic Alice in Wonderland!"

Gorgeous stuff. I've just ordered one. I'm not big on wall calendars, but the artwork is begging to be cut out and used in some sort of collage.

Gorgeous! I'm suddenly reminded of eSheep's great old webcomic, 'Chrysalis Colossus'.
