The Cabinet of Dr. Deekay

Young Alex Winchester woke up in a grey metal hospital bed surrounded by the peering eyes of strange malformed creatures. A giant oblong pink and blue pill with human legs was fiddling with an IV bag above his head, and to his left a trio of mismatched prosthetic legs were attached to three truncated appendages of a smiling turquoise octopus. However well your best dentist visit went, it didn't go as well as the visit New York Times bestselling illustrator Camille Rose Garcia had several years ago. The result is this illustrated fever-dream of a book that is equal parts William Burroughs and Walt Disney. In fact, WIRED magazine declared of her reimagining of the Brothers Grimm story that "Walt Disney would likely turn over in his cryogenic vault if he saw [her] gorgeously skewed portraits of Snow White and her angry dwarves."
Camille Rose Garcia was born in 1970 in Los Angeles. The child of a Mexican activist filmmaker father and a muralist/painter mother, she worked on murals with her mother while growing up in suburbs of Orange County, visited Disneyland and went to punk shows with the other disenchanted youth of that era. Her work has been displayed internationally and featured in numerous magazines including Juxtapoz, Rolling Stone, and Modern Painter, and is included in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum as well as the San Jose Museum of Art, which held a retrospective of her work, Tragic Kingdom
"The story's charm and emotional depth grabs viewers and readers alike in personal, affecting ways. And of course, like all good fairytales, its deeper audience is grownups (like us) in need of meaningful new allegories for our own troubled, wondrous times." -Shana Nys Dambrot "The mistress of bitter and sweet. Sloe-eyed maidens and kitties cavort, birds prey and pray. Like Snow White's apple, sugar and symmetry might transport you to another state of mind." -- Juxtapoz "Young Alex awakens in a grey metal hospital bed surrounded by the peering eyes of strange malformed creatures.
