Tim Burton

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share with everyone my favourite creative mind, Tim Burton.

The reason I say creative mind instead of something else is that he does soooo much. He draws, makes clay animation, directs... He is a true artist. I am a big fan of his. I enjoy that all his work is so conceptual and looks beautiful. Check out his website (2010)! When I opened it I could instantly tell that it was his website. All his work leaves a unique impression. You can tell when something was created by Tim Burton. Some of his works include Coraline, Edward Scissor Hands, Sleep Hallow,The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride.

Corpse Bride
Edward Scissor Hands

All his works seem to feature dark, mysterious characters but in my opinion usually aren't as dark as they seem. I find that most of his works show positivity hidden in darkness. From watching documentaries and interviews featuring him, I learned that he used to work as a storyboard artist at Disney! I could not believe it. His style is far too enchanting to be locked up in with singing animals and happy little dwarfs. Some other interesting facts about him are that he works with Johnny Depp in many of his films, he is dating Helena Bonham Carter, has two children and his character Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas appears in several of his films in the background or as part of objects.

I don't think I'll ever get enough of seeing his artwork or films. They are all so creative and entertaining. They offer Humor, Romance, Mystery,Action... Everything I could want to see in a film.
I'm not sure if i could pick a favourite film of his but I can say that I can watch Coraline, Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas over and over again. Comment below if you are a fan of Tim Burton too. If you aren't.. Comment and tell me why! :)
