I think it's worth mention that not only are these prints stunning to look at, but they're for a great cause. If you purchase one, form the very small edition of 40 - you benefit 100% of the purchases price of $400 to the The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. The DSWT benefits orphaned elephants and rhinos.
As with the first print of these, the Mark Ryden Bunny Cart - CRG donated the image, Kirsten donated the printing cost, and every penny goes to the charity. Unlike a lot of the artwork based charity in this scene, this really does entirely benefit the cause.
If you don't luck out and win, or if you're just feeling generous this Christmas / Hanukkah, check out the print at the Roq's site at:

is anyone here going to the signing next month? I would love to surprise a friend with a signed copy. CRG is her favorite artist but even prints are out of her price range so this would really floor her.

I am going to her signing. Do you want me to pick one up? MKG also has CRG postcard sets. Oh, and they take phone orders, too.

Did a little interview with Camille for those interested here.
One of the questions:
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was originally published as an illustrated novel by “Lewis Carroll” as you know. Did you and if so, how much did you use the original illustrations as reference? Or, did you imagine up everything yourself?
Camille Rose Garcia (CRG): I am a mad book collector, and I own 4 copies of “Alice In Wonderland” with the original John Tenniel illustrations, so I found it was impossible for me to think about any of the characters without automatically thinking in my head about the original illustration. So, I looked at this more as an homage to Tenniel, a way to honor those illustrations. I did use a lot of his compositions as reference, as I realized after doing a bunch of sketches, that he came up with the best composition in the first place! There were some exceptions, of course. I always hated how you couldn’t see the Caterpillars’ face in the original drawing, so I drew that one from the opposite point of view. Also, The Lobster Quadrille was never illustrated, so that was open for interpretation.
