I've always loved the OZ characters and wanted to re-create them through the Alter Ego lens. Switching their genders opened up entirely new ways to reimagine these iconic roles.

I also created the Wicked Witch (scroll down), but I kept the female silhouette (though I did flirt with idea of creating a drag caricature). But I chose to portray the character as a wickedly chic, ultra-feminine figure, boasting a plunging back that reveals a sexy shock of green. Not quite sure this one is done yet, but I like where's it's going. More to come on this one.

I don't have captions assigned to each character -- I may add them one day. Any suggestions?
