A Peek In Tim Burton's Mind

November 20th, 2009 | Posted in: art

Regular readers of this blog probably know that I am a big fan of Tim Burton’s work. Thats why I was exited when I read on Wired that his art-work is now bundled in a 434 page thick book, displaying over 1000 drawings, doodles, paintings and evocative concept art dating back to Burton’s teen years in Burbank, California.Burton himself describes it as “40 years of notebooks, scraps of paper, napkins, etc.” Author and co-editor Leah Gallo writes that Burton’s intention is “to allow his fans a broad look inside his private pages.”

Check out a selection below. Pretty cool to see where Burton’s Willy Wonka, The Joker and The Mad Hatter come from:

Available in both limited-edition lithograph ($300) and standard hardcover ($70) versions, The Art of Tim Burton can be pre-ordered from Steeles Publishing and will be available at the MoMA bookstore in New York and Forbidden Planet in England.

Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton's Take…

June 22nd, 2009 | Posted in: movies

Fresh of the press are there amazing pieces of artwork from Tim Burton’s upcoming movie Alice in Wonderland. And looking at it, its going to be dark, Burtonesque take on the classic story. I think this will be a great match, as Alice always had a dark side. Or at least I think so, as it always freaked me  out as a kid! Starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen this promises to be another piece of art from the hand of Burton. Although we have to wait almost half a year for this one to come out, 5th of May 2009 to be exact, Burtons movie 9 seems to be a more than appropriate snack.
