Here's a link (via the ever illuminating Little Hokum Rag) to the amazing paintings of Shiori Matsumoto. Just go to her site, click on Gallery and take a tour through a previously uncharted precinct of Dreamland -- east of Tenniel's Wonderland, west of the Henri Rousseau Rainforest, just down the street from Chris Van Allsburg's grandmother's house. (Certain traveling players pass between this region's playhouses and those on Amy Crehore's Naughty Wondershow Theatrical Circuit, exercising the craft and mystery of an art long thought lost.)
