Childhood Dreams do come true!!

So by now we’ve ALL heard about the  Pirelli Calendar for 2018. This year the company has tapped an all-black cast of models, singers, and actors to be featured with an Alice in Wonderland theme, according toThe Guardian.

For the first time since 1987, all 12 months will feature black models, who have been styled by Edward Enninful, the new editor-in-chief (and the first black editor) of British Vogue. Shot by Tim Walker, the calendar features Naomi Campbell as the Royal Beheader with Sean "Diddy" Combs (who is my main celeb crush) as her accomplice, MUVA is RuPaul the Queen of Hearts, and Lupita Nyong’o as the dormouse, while the South Sudanese–Australian model Duckie Thot will star as Alice, with Adwoa Aboah as Tweedledee. Other notables include Whoopi Goldberg and Lil Yachty, according to The Cut.

The story of Alice in Wonderland has always been an inspiration to me and a story I look to for guidance and excitement. Below see photos from the calendar as well as some sketches I did that were inspired by the theme. Let me know what you think!!
