dedicated to my loving and talented husband, rob benevides, for believing in me and inspiring me from the moment we met. to my late “grammy” alice m. buttermark, a writer in her own right and the person who sparked my alice in wonderland obsession. to my family, especially my late father-in-law, robert benevides sr., who always supported our artistic endeavors. finally, to my late friend mary tighe, an artist who embodied the true spirit of punk rock.

– Alyce Benevides

dedicated to my family — shahla, jan, caroline, matthew, eric, tristan, and liam; to the memory of mamanjan and aghajan; and to the memory of opa — i’d like to think he passed down his crafty gene to me.
