Just a little sketch from my sketchbook. This one was Herakut-inspired. They are an awesome German street art duo. I love looking at their work.
And if you go chasing rabbits…

We’re All Mad Here…
I’ve been dying to share this work in progress! I’m having a lot of fun playing with it and watching it evolve. I still have work to do on every aspect of it, the faces, bodies, background… But I’m enjoying taking my time with it.
It is a portrait of me and my best friend, who is also an artist. It’s based off of an Alice in Wonderland doodle from my sketchbook that kept growing more and more into a work of its own…

In case you missed my previous post, my Alice in Wonderland piano is on display this month at the Richmond Beach Library in Shoreline, WA. And it’s outside, so you can actually play it! 😛 There are 11 pianos on display along streets and in the parks of Shoreline, WA. A list of the locations is now available. You can download a map and read more about the pianos here.
The pianos will be on display for all of August. Hope you can stop by and check them out!

It’s Back! Alice in Wonderland Piano @ The Richmond Beach Library in Shoreline, WA
Looking mad as a hatter…
Piano Time in Shoreline, WA is back! While I didn’t have time to commit to painting a new piano this year, I’m proud to say that my Alice in Wonderland piano is out of hiding and has found the perfect home. For all of August, Wonderland will be on display at the Richmond Beach Library in Shoreline. I can’t think of a more appropriate home than a library! Best of all, it’s art you can touch. Visitors are welcome to come and play the piano. Unlike my cat, this toothy-grinned beast won’t bite…
Here is a link to all my Alice themed work, including progress photos from painting the piano: https://heatherunderground.com/category/alice-in-wonderland/
The Richmond Beach Library is located at 19601 21st Ave N.W., Shoreline, 98177

Alice in Wonderland: Alice’s Hunger
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don’t do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall…

just finished this for a show, 8″ x 10″ on wood

U Mad? Alice in Wonderland’s Mad Hatter
Just finished! Up next, The White Rabbit.
Have a great weekend!
P.S. If you are curious about why I used the number 42, well, Lewis Carroll seemed quite fond of it, and it is, of course, the answer to our universe. Wikipedia says so!

Piano Time – Alice in Wonderland – Piano Street Art Finished!
I finished the Alice In Wonderland piano for Shoreline, WA’s Piano Time street art project on July 30th. I did the project in under 2 weeks. There are things I would have liked to add that I simply did not have time to incorporate. And I ran into some trouble when I began to apply the varnish. Despite priming, I still saw the piano stain seep through in a few spots. UGH. That was aggravating! But overall, I’m thrilled with it.
I’m in awe of how much I accomplished in such a short time, especially because I’m really happy with the finished piece. It took summer camps and grandparents in babysitting overdrive, for me to have enough time to work. It makes a difference when I can work for several hours uninterrupted, and really get into the process.
below are images from the sides of the piano:
SInce the project ended, my children have both been home more or less full-time, and I’ve had a million ideas swirling in my head, but nothing has made it to a canvas. It is killing me a bit… I may lose my head! Believe me, I’m counting down the days until school starts!
the tea party and the piano closed (I had a design for the closed lid, but ran out of time – bummer!) oh, and thank you to the Graphics Fairy for the vintage chair backs!:
more details from the piano – drawer knob mushrooms, flamingo croquet piano bench legs, Play Me music stand, Cheshire eye:
I decorated all of the piano legs with bottles and hearts, (10 sides total):
smile!
Every time I’ve stopped by Central Market, I’ve witnessed impromptu concerts. I’ve loved hearing feedback from employees and passers-by. This project’s been so much fun! Here’s a little snippet of a performance by Beinuo Gong, who was returning to China soon after her concert. Thank you, Beinuo! (P.S. sorry about the squeaking grocery carts! lol…)

More progress being made…
It was pretty tricky to draw Alice in this space. The floor kept getting in my way…
I worked on the front a bit too. I’d really like to give the Cheshire cat’s grin a couple of gold teeth…
I wish I had more time to work on this. There is so much I’d like to do…
