Tim Burton is most likely the single
most influential artist on my life, followed by a close second of
Monet but we'll get to him another day. There seems to be a cult
following for his claymation works, but I believe he has truly come
into his own more recently with his live action films in the past 10
or so years.
Burton has 3 productions this year, 2
of which are already released: Dark Shadows and Abraham Lincoln
Vampire Hunter. I believe Burton's specialty is transforming dark,
witty, quirky literature to an all-encompassing film experience. Here
are a few screen shots from my favorite movies.

One thing I find funny about his
upcoming release of Frankenweenie is that this is his second time
bringing this story to life: the first time got him fired from Disney
for using company materials to create something too dark for child
viewers. Now the new film will be distributed by Walt Disney
Corporation.
This year's movies:
 |
| Dark Shadows |
 |
| Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter |
 |
| Frankenweenie |
Quote from Tim Burton:
One
person's crazyness is another person's reality.
