Tim Burton, you slay me.  This installation was set up so that when the lights changed the room always looked a little creepy but then, in just the right light…

Uh oh, there’s blood on the walls! There’s even a dead dude. To get a better look at the wonderful and sick humor, click on the image above.

Shame on me for waiting so long to post these. I’ll just leave them here to amuse and tickle your fancy.

Yes, I was a bad girl and took pictures in the museum when the guard wasn’t looking. But look at this little dude!  I just don’t know which version of him is better.

Ah, it’s clearly the sketch..  That line work is so fluid and animated even as a still.

The therapist character reminds me of John Kricfalusi’s style, especially for Ren and Stimpy.

Pregnancy, through the eyes of Tim Burton.

Haha, this sketch is my favorite. That expression, those rubberhose legs and teeny arms and feet.

Kind of makes me think of  Ralph Steadman’s work as well…

Tangent!  That character is wearing a giant polka dot bow.

wait is that last one burton or steadman? i dig the polka dot bow tie too. if i could pull off a bow tie i would. i feel like you have to look like that guy to pull it off for now they stay in my pasta bowl.

oh if you ever have the time you should make an animated gif of that dollhouse stainboy character… really tie the digital exhibit together.

burtons drawings make me both want to give up drawing since he’s so good, and also give me endless inspiration. its really quite contrary.
