Tim Burton; Chronicles

Chris & I outside the

Tim Burton Exhibit!!!!

Every year is a big accomplishment
if your Tim Burton...

This is the main entrance to the exhibit...

HOWEVER I really want this to be

the main entrance to my bedroom! ;)

Tim Burton is the man- dig!
BEFORE the new year I was able to get a day off to go check out Tim Burton at the MoMA!!! Too bad the word AMAZING, is a huge understatment! It was pretty cool to see how he has grown from childhood drawings and paintings, to being an intern at disney, to seeing most, if not all of his biggest, successful movie productions. In my opinion i think his most successful pieces were the pen and ink drawings. ALSO, anything Nightmare Before Christmas related too... duh! They were memorizing to look at. His crazy lines just add to the sketches.

Love what you do

I took this picture on the Appilation Trail in

North Jersey/Warwick, NY area.

I did not carve my initails in the heart...

They were already there.

It was Perfect!

Brilliant Minds Think Alike

Tim Burton.

Not only is he my FAVORITE movie director of all time, he too is my inspiration for my dark, quirky art. He is mostly a conceptual artist for live-action and animated films. He has produced films such as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Batman Returns, Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes, Corpse Bride, AND MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE MOVIE EVER MADE.... The Nightmare Before Christmas.

He actually intended for The Nightmare Before Christmas to be a ryhming children's book. Which Im much more thankful that he turned into a film instead of a hunting book for children. Tim Burton also includes himself in his artwork mostly giving himself a small role within his movies or characters which is another thing i've picked up from him a long the way. I love including myself in my creepy world. I like the feeling of knowing I can be a part of something Ive created!

He is also soon to release his NEWEST film Alice in Wonderland which is set in a victorian era with his special touch of dark and mysterious. Im very excited to see the movie, I just hope I can pull something deeper and darker from it so I can have fresh ideas to work on!! :)

Tim Burton at the MoMA!

November 22, 2009 - April 26, 2010.

Burton will be on exhibit at the Moma!! I CANT WAIT!!! The exhibit will include over 700 peices and will show the retrospective of his career.

"Following the current of his visual imagination from his earliest childhood drawing through his mature work, the exhibition presents artwork generated during the conception and production of his films, and highlights a number of unrealized projects and never-before-seen pieces, as well as student art, his earliest non-professional films, and examples of his work as a storyteller and graphic artist for non-film projects. The opposing themes of adolescence and adulthood, and the elements of sentiment, cynicism, and humor inform his work in a variety of mediums—drawings, paintings, storyboards, digital and moving-image formats, puppets and maquettes, props, costumes, ephemera, sketchbooks, and cartoons. Taking inspiration from sources in pop culture, Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as a spiritual experience, influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics." -MoMA
