Tim Burton!

I just got home from the Tim Burton Exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
I have been a fan of Tim Burton since 'Beetlejuice' and a bigger fan of his art since 'The Nightmare Before Christmas,' but i had no idea how extensive his career is.  This exhibit has over 700 drawings, paintings, storyboards, short films(some made when he was just a kid!!!), movies, puppets, costumes, personal letters(hand written!!!!), and so many things i'm forgetting, from his childhood to present day!!  It was so amazing to see his work displayed at once.  His films and cartoons were playing on different televisions everywhere!  Glass cases held the most amazing sculptures of his characters.  The walls were decorated with sculptures, photographs, cartoons, scribbles from when he was a teenager and little stories from when he was a kid, not to mention hundreds of incredible early drawings and concepts....
His love for Vincent Price and creepy clowns??!!!!
His imagination and creativity is  awe-inspiring!!!!!  I could go on and on about everything i haven't mentioned!!!  Truly amazing!  The exhibit runs to April.  I want to see it again!!!!
