Australia Here We Come - Again!

The ACMI Wonderland Exhibition tour is back on the road after a 2 1/2 year break due to COVID, and its next stop is Perth, Australia at the WA Museum Boola Bardip.  The lovely people at ACMI are again flying us down to help celebrate the opening and re-start of this amazing exhibition and its tour across the globe.  Any readers in Western Australia be sure to visit, and if you happen to be there December 15-18, introduce yourselves.  We'll be the two Americans wearing loud Alice-themed clothing ;-)

The Collection is on Tour in NZ - And I'm on the Radio!

The ACMI exhibition continues its world tour, next stop New Zealand's Te Papa.  And yours truly was interviewed on the radio last week on Radio New Zealand's "Afternoons with Jesse Mulligan".  Take a listen!

Wonderland Exhibit in Singapore - Opens Saturday!

Callooh callay!  The Crandall Collection is on display in the traveling ACMI exhibition "Wonderland" and next stop is Singapore!  Opening this Saturday, the exhibition runs from April 13 - September 22, 2019 at the ArtScience Museum.  Check out the link for more details.  If you are in the area between now and September, check it out, and send pictures!  I don't think I'll be able to make it for this stop.

Happy New Year!

So another year has come and gone, and while I have taken some major steps forward in preparation for an upcoming project, the blog has suffered.  Looking back at the history of posts over the past few years it is abundantly clear exactly when I started working for myself  - I'm sure you can guess when too!

That being said, I do have things happening on the Alice front and will continue to update the blog with content as I get the chance.  The first being - today!

This year has been a good one for art acquisitions.  I have been fortunate enough to acquire three new Mary Blair pieces, although I did have to part with another to finance them.  But so it goes, you gotta sell to buy!

I was also lucky enough to score an original page by Mel Crawford from the Little Nipper Storybook which I have not posted yet but have mentioned in several posts - mostly about Japanese books.

And the Australian exhibition closed in October, but is now traveling the world, first stop Singapore!  I will post details when I have them.  Happy New Year to all!

Off to the Exhibition!

See you in Australia!

First of Two Exciting News Posts!

This past week saw a shipment of fabulous stuff leave the Tulgey Wood and start winging its way to Melbourne, Australia for approximately six months.  Why you may ask?  Well, I'll tell you.  The Australian Center for the Moving Image is mounting an exhibition all about Alice in Wonderland in media, and I have lent them about 45 items.  Exhibition begins April 5th, stay tuned for pictures from the event as we will be live and in person!  See you down under!

Check out their trailer!

Geppi's Entertainment Museum Exhibition Extended!

I just received word from the museum that due to popular demand, my Alice exhibition has been extended through the end of the year!  So if you haven't had a chance to come see it, you've got three more months. Come on down!

Geppi's Entertainment Museum has (finally!) restored their site and the landing page for the Alice exhibition is back up.  First time I've seen it :-)

Two More Days!

Wonderland Exhibit Setup Complete!

Whew!  Last week I delivered the last of the items and Monday I went up to help setup.  As of today the exhibit is up and ready!  Can't wait to see it in its final incarnation.  Hope to see as many of you there as possible over the next six months!

GEM Preview Articles in SCOOP

Looks like I made some ink!  Geppi has an online magazine called SCOOP that publishes lots of stories about pop culture related items, and they published not one, but two preview articles on the exhibition.  Go check 'em out!

Lost in Wonderland Exhibition Update!

We now have official advertising on the Geppi's exhibition.  Alice will be joined by Harley Quinn as depicted by the amazing Amanda Conner.  Plan your trip now!

In case you are wondering about the art for my exhibition, Disney is notorious for their ... reluctance to grant permission to use imagery for things like this, so they opted to avoid it altogether.  But, as you know there will be plenty to see inside the exhibition.

Lost in Wonderland

I am finally able to tell you one of the two big items for this year.  Geppi's Entertainment Museum in Baltimore, MD will be exhibiting the collection you know and love from this blog for a six month run beginning April 1st!  The exhibition is entitled "Lost in Wonderland" and will feature a portion of the collection primarily devoted to those items from the original release.  Stay tuned for more details!

New Mary Blair Exhibition Catalog Coming Soon!

The Walt Disney Family Museum is going to have what looks to be a spectacular exhibition of Mary Blair artwork this year, running from March 13 - September 7, 2014. And there is going to be this very cool catalog (complete with AMAZING Alice cover) accompanying the exhibit! Order yours today from Amazon!  And go to the exhibit!

Magic Color Flair: The World of Mary Blair

Photos from the Arkansas Exhibit

The people at the Arkansas Secretary of State have generously sent me a bunch of photos of the Little Golden Book exhibit.  I encourage anyone who lives nearby or is planning a trip that passes through Little Rock, AR to stop by the exhibit.
