Tim Burton

Nice book. If you like Tim Burton you will probably love this book. It's great. Has a lot of his early sketches and information about Tim and the characters. It's a soft cover but the colors and print in the book are very clear.

Tim Burton lovers need this! I had to have it for my collection. This books details some of his artwork and is truly an amazing compilation of his work. The binding is paper but it is a hard cardstock material.

This book is priceless. Not only does it showcase his paintings, sketches, movie stills and sculptures, but it opens with an introduction of his life as an artist. Starting with his adolescence and ending with his current situations. It's a lovely book to review your trip to the Exhibit, or if you couldn't make the exhibit--this might make up for it! Although I doubt it. If you get the chance to visit the Exhibit at LACMA this year, I suggest you do it. It show cases all the art in this book and then some. It even has the sign Burton designed for a trash truck when he was a teenager! Buy this book, not at the exhibit because it's seriously OVERPRICED, but right here on Amazon.

I bought this for my nephew who is autistic and loves art and Tim Burton. I bought it as a gift so I can't attest to the content, other than my sister said he stopped opening all other gifts to sit and read this on Christmas. It is not all art, lots of info on his life. I would have loved to have bought him the new Tim Burton art book that is huge but it is super spendy, so I was happy for the second choice.

Originally published for Burton's Moma exhibitionA must for Art/Burton fans

I always wanted to create a Tim Burton lesson for my middle school art classroom. The students can recognize his style, have seen his movies and aren't even afraid to talk about his work like they are with some of the traditional artists often taught. I loved this book because it gave insight to his childhood, referenced his education and talked about his career- all things that students (especially in my middle school) are wondering about. Students don't often think about animation and movies as a career in art. The images in this book were great examples to show in class since I couldn't find many examples online from credible resources. The students find his sketching style very accessible since it isn't using "professional" materials (crayons, colored pencils), isn't realistically rendered, and let's face it- Alice in Wonderland, Edward Scissorhands and Nightmare Before Christmas are entertaining, weird fantasy stories that won't have middle schoolers rolling their eyes :)The only thing I wish there was in this book is more artist statements or extra museum-like descriptions to go along with some of the artwork. I assume there would have been some at MoMA, so why aren't they in the official book? There is a large essay that thoroughly surveys his work though, which is why I gave it a 4!

Book came on time in perfect condition. Very interesting little book for Tim Burton fans, it would make a great gift.

I bought this book at the MOMA when the Tim Burton exhibit was going on. I would not have thought to come onto Amazon to look for it. If I had, I would have saved a few bucks off of it. Oh well. At least I saved a few bucks ordering it for friends for holiday gifts.If you are a big fan of Tim Burton's work, I highly recommend this book be added to your collection. You will see a ton of awesome artwork from the creative mind that is Tim Burton. Plus there are back stories about him & his work over the years.If this exhibit travels to your area, I suggest you get in line & see it! I became a MOMA member just to avoid having to get a timed ticket into this exhibit. And I went back to the exhibit every weekend while it was at the MOMA. I loved it! Wish I could have taken photos inside the exhibit...but I have the memories & the book.
