A book + a giveaway result


My husband got me this book for Christmas a year ago, and I think I haven't looked at it enough yet. It's about Tim Burton and it is full of drawings, paintings and words, and stories on him by other people. It's huge! I really like his drawing style, it's free and very expressive. This guy is so prolific. Completely obsessive (the same themes come over again and again), but he is true to himself and it's all very inspiring. I like his use of watercolour a lot. Tim Burton is one of the few artists I feel very much connected to.

And now, what you are all waiting for of course, the giveaway result! An illustrated calendar is soon going to fly to... Jasmine! Congratulations to you, and thank you to all of you who left comments. I am very happy to see you were a lot to want one :) But please don't leave, there will be another surprise soon.

Happy Thursday!

  4. Looks like a great book, and I am annoyed with myself that I missed the big Tim Burton exhibition at ACMI recently. It is an exhibition I really ought to have gone to. Rats!
