awesome! its good to see a mad hatter that isn't bad ass and is more home to his roots in a childrens book. not that there' anyting wrong with the badd ass depictions but this... its refreshing, especially with the masterful inkwork

Thanks very much. The bad ass thing is not for me, I like to put a little humour into my work.

I've recently started working almost exclusively in ink, and have a new appreciation for the medium. You, sir, are damn good working in ink.

Hi Rob, I'm glad you like my inky effort. Is there any particular reason for your decision to go with this medium?

There is indeed; I recently started actually getting work as an illustrator, and thus far it's all been comic work and cartooning, so I've had to really brush up (OHO!) on my inking skills.

Cheers John, it's good to finally have a foot on the ladder. Maybe one day I might be as good as you are.

Hehehe. Fred wished he could dance like that, and the Hatter wishes he was as good-looking! Whimsical and cleanly rendered.

Fred could dance like nobody else and the hatter would have to be mad to compete.
