I am not wrong. Look on the web - Arthur Rackham's illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The artist is correct, the picture from Alice in Wonderland that most resembles this one was drawn by John Tenniel. The web reference for this is at http://the-office.com/bedtime-story/classics-alice-9.htm . Arthur Rackham did apparently do some illustration for Alice in Wonderland, but *not* the griffin in question.Exact,thank you 1

I wouldn't like to wake him up.. You did a great job with shadowing, absolutely.

You've done well fitting the wings into a difficult pose!

Very nice rendition. Figuring out what to do with wings when we sleep seems to be something we haven't quite figured out. Don't see too many sleeping gryphs because of this, I think. Great job.
