Go ask Alice
Just two days left until Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland hits theaters near you! Until then, check out artist Camille Rose Garcia's gothic illustrated interpretation of Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Creepy and colorful - Monsieur Burton would approve. And the first-ever film adaptation (dated 1903!) has just been restored by the British Film Institute. 107 years ago - does this not rock?
"Life's dirty. Life's unclean. It's birth, it's sex, it's the intestinal tract. One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right? Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey pies. That's us. We're fabulous."
