JASON SEILER: BANDERSNATCH!

March 5, 2010

Sure, directors and writers have vision… but without artists like Jason Seiler to bring their ideas to life, they’re nothing but a pack of cards. Here, Jason finally shares some of the concept work he did on the frumious Bandersnatch character for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.

“I worked with my good friend Bobby Chiu at Imaginism Studios… my instructions from Bobby were to make this thing freaky as all get out. I used all sorts of references, from bears to sharks, even took pictures of myself making crazy faces.”

“I painted him with fur, but after sharing this painting with Bobby, he loved it but said that they wanted to see a ‘hairless’ version! No big deal, that's part of the gig, so I did a second painting, this time hairless . . . turns out they liked my first version much more and what is seen in the film is rather close to that design. It is AMAZING seeing it in action on screen . . . very cool.”
