Today, we take a look at early work by Willow, as we head down the rabbit hole (click the art to make it bigger):
This was originally done in 2010, and I suspect that Willow might cringe at some aspects of this art five years later. But a lot of her strong points are already in place: Her character design, her sense of humor, an eye for detail, a hint of manic energy. I like the cats and all the little jokes she scatters, and the fact that she was able to take a contemporary look at Alice and Wonderland without replacing the whimsy with the grotesque as many other artists would.
And the amazing thing is that her best work was yet to come.
