"We're all mad here..."



Couldn't figure out what to draw today, and I thought of a conversation I had with my friend Izzie about how Alice's adventure was probably just a really really serious trip on some Shrooms :). We had a good laugh about it, I did about 5 more drawings of what REALLY happened that night lol. I'll probably finish em whenever i get bored again .Critiques are welcomed and appreciated.Enjoy.
