Recently, I was asked to do a painting for a friend's birthday. I was told that she wanted something birthday-themed, but wanted it to be displayed all the time. My girlfriend had the clever idea to do an "unbirthday" mad hatter from Alice In Wonderland...and to give it more of a darker theme, I decided to make it a zombie mad hatter. I ended up whipping out the old acrylics and dusting off the unused paint palette, and actually painted the image onto an 8x10 canvas board. Even though I only had about a day to get it done, it was a lot of fun...since I haven't painted traditionally in a really long time. All-in-all, it took about 12 hours to complete.
