TIM BURTON. One of my greatest inspirations is the artist/animator/director Tim Burton. I love his dark aesthetic and unique way of portraying characters. Even though the subject matter is often dark, there's a morbid sense of humor to his work that I'm drawn to. I admire how he was able to take his distinctive vision to the public and become a successful artist and storyteller. His style is unlike any other, but he somehow made a niche for himself in the movie business. He is most well known for directing and animating films, but he also writes, and had an exhibition in the MoMA. The Nightmare Before Christmas was originally a poem he wrote, and is now published as a picture book with his original drawings. He also has another poetry book, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy. Tim Burton is one of the influences that inspired me to look into animation and movie making as a career. I grew up watching The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, and Corpse Bride, and thought it would be so great to make something like that.
