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.

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.

Tim Burton an obsession for you? Then, of course you need to have his art book collections. There is just no choice in the matter. I love the illustrations. They help inspire me to sketch when I may not be in the mood. Tim Burton just puts his ideas on paper and doesn't worry about being perfect. That is part of his allure, I think. They are so creative and darkly whimsical and wonderful. I love any book of Tim Burton's illustrations. They remind me as an aspiring artist that perfection does not equal success. And his success is extreme.

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

The media could not be loaded. There's news that Tim Burton's coming up with an art book called The Art of Tim Burton. It's going to have 434 pages and should be released soon or early next month. This is not that book.This book simply titled Tim Burton is an exhibition promotion book. It's published by The Museum of Modern Art to accompany the Tim Burton exhibition that's running on 22 Nov 2009 to 26 April 2010. The exhibition is going to have over 500 pieces of art created by Tim Burton himself.In this book are only 64 pieces of art, and there are only 64 pages. You'll see coloured sketches, storyboards and sculpted models. It's a bit underwhelming but at least his creation and ideas are really cool to look at. Some of his work date back to the 80s when he's just starting out. Even then, his sense of design and artistic style is already established. There are also a few pieces of his personal work which are not related to movies.For those interested in the story of Tim Burton, there are two essays of his inspiration and career, briefly looking through the different stages of his life.I wish for a more detailed biography in the future. Tim Burton has created too many good movies and animation not to have one.This little book should serve well as an exhibition guide, but will definitely leave the fans wanting more.I highly recommend holding back the purchase of this book to see what The Art of Tim Burton has first.3.5 out of 5 stars.--You can check out more work from Tim Burton on his website.(More pictures are available on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

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.

nice
