For
the past few years I've been fascinated with Alice in Wonderland and
Peter Pan especially with Alice in wonderland. I've never read the books
on it but I have watched many versions of them.
When
I was a kid, I had a dream. Kind of like an additional story to Peter
Pan which focused on the other characters. At first I was very sure I
watched a movie of it because it was so vivid. From the costumes to the
sets to the actors, it all felt real, exactly like a movie. Over the
years, I've have searched all possible Pan related movies, videos or
stories. I came back with non. I've accepted that it was indeed a dream,
but if anyone has any information on it, please let me know.
I've
forgotten most parts because it ha been many many many years since it
happened but the story goes something like this. There was a part on
Tinkerbell. Being with Pan all those years, she fell in love with him.
Then one day she was granted a wish, which was to be human or human
sized. When the both of them finally met after she changed, he didn't
quite recognized her but after spending some time together, he realized
it was her. Days passed and she finally told him that she has loved him
all these while. Pan rejected her (he was a kid and she was an adult,
they couldn't be together anyways). She was upset and she turned back
into a fairy.
Then
the other part was about Hook. Instead of being at sea, he was on land.
He lived among the market area but at his "home" was a big empty circle
land. Like in those movie where there were buildings surrounding a
fountain except in Hook's story, there wasn't a fountain. It was
sometimes transformed into those fight rings. (If you want to imagine
it, it's like those 90s movie where they had bull or cock fight etc)
Btw, the setting is like a dock but on land, complete with those cabin
you see near the docks, with those wooden steps and barrels etc. Anyways
one day, there was a fight show going on, Hook was minding his business
when he hears that ticking sound. He grew scared. Turns out the
crocodile he feared came into the ring. Hook came out and saw it. Then
you know how the story goes with Hook and the crocodile. He runs, it
tries to attack. Oh man, if you could see it, because I do a very bad
job at explaining this to you. If I could illustrate it I would, but I'm
bad at that too. I really hope this is a movie because I wanna "watch"
it again. If this was a dream, I think I could have something to do with
that movie I watched but forgot the title about a group of people in
the safari or something who found new tiger pubs, raised them and
somehow one of the cub was taken away and was raised as those animal
they use for those fight show with other tigers. This one was a good
movie I highly recommend.
By
the way, I drew a very nice picture of Peter Pan, the cartoon version,
which was the only nice picture I could draw, til now.
I've
always been fascinated at costumes and when I watched the Alice in
Wonderland movie version in 2010, I fell in love with it. Even though the main reason I first wanted to watch it was because of Avril Lavigne. I do plan to get the book though. I
watched it a few times at this point. Loving Anne Hathaway in it and
loving the costumes even more the more I watched it. When I was in
college, for my final project in the first semester for the model making
class, I didn't know what to do until one night I had a dream of an
idea(these is how I get most of my art piece ideas fyi). It was Alice
positioned like a trapeze artist in a box. I thought of adding "Eat Me",
"Drink Me", Mad Hatter's hat and tea cup set. Being me and being
unfamiliar with the material I used to make it, it didn't turn out the
way I planned it although I had a good mark for it. Which is why I
intend to recreate it, doing my best to create the closes to what I
wanted it to be.
Which
leads me to my next point. I've planned a few art piece related to
these two stories. Been doing a lot of research on both stories. I
wanted to get all the facts right, from the story line to the characters
to the costumes but after awhile, since there is so many versions of it
especially Alice in Wonderland, I've decided to not be so caught up on
it because it is an art piece and I can interpret it whichever way I
want it to be. Alice has been my longest project on my mind and Peter
has only been less than a year old. I was inspired to do Peter Pan when I
heard "Neverland" by Zendaya. I recommend you go listen to it.
Thank you for reading!
Have a nice day!
