Alternate version (print)




Syringe Party

"10/6" on the hat, as originally shown in the Alice illustrations and Movies, refers to the price of the hat (10 Shillings and 6 pence). This price is taken under British dollars before decimalization (British people were so bad at math, they didn't allow their currency to add up in a way that required decimals). This is the equivalent of about $105 American dollars today. In conclusion, the mad hatter was as they say "Ballin".
Another note of interest is that the mad hatter, although a reference to people who made hats and experienced mercury poisoning, becoming mentally unstable, was not that crazy. most of them would experience the opposite symptoms of that which the hatter displayed: Fatigue, low confidence, extreme shyness.
All this information would not have been gathered without the influence of marijuana.

For extra flavour, stir with a syringe.


You know what I hate. When it's so hard to draw something correctly; and the moment that you manage to get it right, you realize that thing you drew correctly was suppose to be closer to that other thing you already drew, but its not, in fact its too far away. Then you resort to changing the pose, or composition of the entire thing, just because you are too lazy to start over and get that "thing" that was hard to draw, redrawn somewhere else. If this makes any sense to you the reader, kudos to you.

Anyways, as you can see compared to the stock photo, I had to change a few things. Some of the things were changed on purpose, others were due to lazy/poor gesture drawing (Those stupid gesture exercises may be stoopid, but fuck they are so essential to putting together a picture!).
