Wow. Boing Boing has a post today about a new book of "missing" concept art by the great Mary Blair for Disney's Alice in Wonderland.

When Disney conceived of making its psychedelic masterpiece Alice in Wonderland, it asked master illustrator Mary "It's a Small World" Blair to draw up a series of concept sketches for the art direction of the film. Blair's art was never used, alas -- for she made some of the most striking and lovely and just plain weird-ass art that anyone had ever done in the Alice canon...

The book is available here.
