Alice in Otherland I

Personal · Fan Art Reimagining · Tea Scene 2025
Alice in Otherland I — Illustration by Zeeshan Ahmad

A reimagining of the tea party — Alice and the Hatter, drawn quieter than they’re usually allowed to be. Fan art tribute.

A reinterpretation of one of the most-illustrated scenes in English literature — the Mad Tea Party. The piece pulls the energy down rather than up: cherry blossoms instead of cards, a paper umbrella instead of a top hat, and a quiet between the two of them instead of chaos.

Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s work, which is in the public domain. The visual reimagining is a personal study — part of an ongoing series.
