Been working like crazy recently. Not drawing per se but moving boxes. On
the homestretch of our move back into the home (it seems neverending
honestly) and I had to take a break from it cause of Superman deadlines and
traveling. But now is the time to rescue my family from the towering stacks
of books, art supplies and old electronic equipment!
As far as art, here is an old image I dug up. I occasionally do art for
family and friends, logos for my wife, etc. This piece however is for a
family friend who was a fan of Alice in Wonderland and was expecting their
first child. I deleted the name but it goes in that middle rectangle right
under the square where one would put a picture of baby I imagine. Set
within a black frame, it turned out ok.
The challenging part was interpreting some of Lewis Carroll's characters and
not make them terrifying to a little child. He had some imagination...or
was whacked out of his mind. Crazy book.
Here is a larger scan.

Yeah Missileman...I think I started to make the caterpillar look too much like Ale.

If I didn't knew it was you, I'll swear it came from '70s anime (there was a lot of stuff from european novels..).
I sure like it, It fit the image without changing too much.. even if Carrol *seemed* to be a little insane (geniale! I studied about Alice a lot..).
Anyway, the old fables are just not too much for kids, now...
I mean, you would tell to your daughter that Cinderella had the dress from a cemetery and her friendly birds took away the eyes from the sisters during the wedding? Ouch. Grimm, you *WERE* weirdos.
Sorry for poor english, I hope you'll understand :P
