The parade of obsessive madness continues

If you’ve read my blog here on Wizarduniverse.com for a while, you’ll be familiar with my art collection. In short, I collect Mad Hatter things, mostly in regards to the Batman villain, but occasionally other items as well. Recently I just purchased a series of Batman trading cards from 1966, which I need to matte and frame. I have a massive framed painting from Disney of the Mad Tea Party. It’s kind of a big deal.

I also collect sketches of the Hatter from comic artists. The collection has now extended over one wall of my apartment and includes sketches from Sean Chen, Evan Dorkin, Patrick Gleason, and Rags Morales. And just yesterday I was able to add two sketches from my friend and comic illustrator Stephanie O’Donnell. She writes and draws numerous web comics and is a very, very busy bee.

And here’s the smaller “sketch” version, which is depicted here at about 3x actual size. Both, of course, are framed.

It’s becoming a bit of an obsession, but whatever. We all need hobbies and at least I’m not going to the [shudder] gym.
