Tim Burton



-Inspired by the works of Rodger Corman and Vincent Price

-Began working for Disney in 1980 after his graduation.

-In 1982, he released the award-winning short Vincent, which paid homage to the enduring work of his childhood idol.
 Impressed with Burton's 1984 live action short "Frankenweenie", Paul Reubens commissioned Burton to direct the wildly inventive comedy Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985).

-1988's Beetlejuice was the first Tim Burton film ot implement the prototypical Tim Burton film.

-In 1994, Burton cast Johnny Depp as the title character in Ed Wood—a black-and-white portrait of a middling filmmaker and his all-consuming passion to succeed.

Magic of a moment

I consider this picture a magic of a moment because there is no greater feeling in the world (in my opinion) than being out in nature in a boat early in the morning, and catching some of the best fish I've ever caught in my life.

Andy Goldworthy

This work by Andy Goldworthy is a great representation of what makes his artwork so intriguing its something that cant be put inside a museum or staged for auction. Andy Goldworthy is a person who doesn't see his art as  means of being famous but by gaining a better understanding of nature and his quest to become one with it.

LOVE andy goldworthy
