Purple and Pink?

Some of you may be thinking: "What's up with this Purple and Pink background!?" Some others of you may be wondering: "Why Frown Like A Thunderstorm?" The answer to both questions can be summed up with one title:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

It may be a children's book (actually, one of the first children's books to be intended for entertainment purposes rather than educational--thank you Lewis Carrol), but it is a very deep and interesting story. It is also the source of the title and image of this new project of mine.

The Queen (of Hearts and of Wonderland--she has a touch of megalomania) is described at one point as "frowning like a thunderstorm." I thought it such an apt and descriptive sentence that I decided to adopt it for the title of my next solo music project (from which this blog has sprung).

I next decided that my backup band should be characters from the book. So, I drew the stick figures of Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the Cheshire Cat.

Following this progression as logically as possible, I took the next step and made the colors purple and pink in honor of the Cat--who brandishes those colors oh so well. (In fact, the colors purple and pink came directly from the picture of myself in a beret. The puprle from the hat and the pink from my skin.)

Unfortunately, these colors do have some prejudices associated with them. Having said all this, I hope you'll understand the nature of my choice of color scheme.
