This post is a Part Two, if you will, of yesterday’s post<\/strong><\/a>, in which the art work of graphic novelist Eric Wight<\/strong><\/a> was featured. Eric very graciously created a Mad Tea-Party image just for 7-Imp, and it’s here to the left. Don’t you just love it — and Alice’s face? I didn’t put it in yesterday’s post for different reasons, mostly because I knew I wanted to post about it today. But, as mentioned yesterday, it is already up at the site — in the header of this page<\/strong><\/a>. Go have a look and see how fabulous it is! That page, based on the size of our blog’s email in-box, gets a lot of traffic, so we hope lots of folks will see it. <\/p>\n

You may remember that 7-Imp is collecting<\/em> various Mad Tea-Party images to include in the headers of our site’s pages (though we committed to always leaving the classic Tenniel<\/strong><\/a> image on the main, or “home,” page of the site.) We also recently acquired illustrator Helen Oxenbury’s version<\/strong><\/a> of Lewis Carroll’s Mad Tea-Party, and it has also been added to the header of another page of our site, the “Note for Publishers & Authors” page. It looks like this below, but you can also see it here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thanks to Candlewick for giving me permission to use that when I went begging at their cyber-door. Eisha and I both love Helen Oxenbury’s<\/strong><\/a> art somethin’ fierce. <\/p>\n

So, those are our two new Mad Tea-Party acquisitions! Many thanks to Eric, in particular, for creating original art just for our site. <\/p>\n

These new Mad Tea-Party images—Eric’s and Helen’s—join the rest of the 7-Imp family of Mad Tea-Parties, as shown here:<\/p>\n

Created just for 7-Imp in January 2009 by cartoonist Ray Friesen<\/a><\/strong>. (That’s even us<\/em>, sitting at the end of the table there, partaking in the party.)
It’s at this page<\/strong><\/a> of the site.<\/center><\/p>\n


\n

Argentinian illustrator Fernando Falcone’s<\/a><\/strong> “A Mad-Tea Party,” 2006. Not created specifically for 7-Imp, but Fernando gave us permission to include it at our blog for forever and ever amen. It’s at this page<\/strong><\/a> of the site.<\/center><\/p>\n


\n

Created just for 7-Imp in July 2007 by illustrator Frank Dormer<\/a><\/strong>.
It’s at this page<\/strong><\/a> of the site.<\/center><\/p>\n

And, yes, we plan to fill all the headers one day with different Mad Tea-Parties. Thanks again to Eric and Candlewick, and repeat thanks to all the illustrators who had already helped populate our site with their own Mad Tea-Party visions. <\/p>\n

If you missed the post about Eric’s work yesterday, go take a look<\/strong><\/a>. Fun stuff. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
