The Wonderful World of Burton

I have tried to not indulge in my absolute obsession with Tim Burton and force that upon all you readers out there but I came across a beautiful little treat that I must share.  Our favorites over at Harper’s Bazaar just had a Tim Burton inspired shoot photographed by Tim Walker in anticipation for this wonderful fall season and Burton’s “Retrospective” at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.  Walker had the ability to capture that gothic aesthetic we love Tim Burton for and each photo is a fashionable manifestation of Burton’s disgustingly beautiful mind.  For those of you that are not up to speed on your Burton obsession please take the weekend and indulge in some seriously twisted expressions of childhood imagination meeting its fantastical adulthood counterpart.  Burton’s films truly capture the essence of the socially accepted dichotomous relationship between childhood and adulthood and turn them into one profound representation of the youth of maturity.  Burton is truly a living, breathing demonstration of the auteur artist.

Edward Scissorhands will be on ABC Family this coming Monday.  You may also want to peruse your local Blockbuster or RedBox for Sleepy Hollow (1999), Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Beetle Juice (1988), Big Fish (2003)…just to name a few. Keep a look out for Burton’s Alice in Wonderland coming 2010.
