KELLY AND JAMIE LOVE TIM BURTON IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW...


The genius that is Tim Burton has been honored with an Expo at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.  He has captured the hearts and minds of all of us that love dark, creepy, and just plain weird entertainment.  We love you Tim Burton!!!  You are amazing!  We want to crawl into that strange head of yours and just look around for a bit.  If any you are in the vicinity, this will be something to remember I'm sure...





Tim Burton

This major career retrospective on Tim Burton (American, b. 1958), consisting of a gallery exhibition and a film series, considers Burton's career as a director, producer, writer, and concept artist for live-action and animated films, along with his work as a fiction writer, photographer and illustrator. 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.
