Chosen Artist- Tim Burton

This is a drawing/painting by Tim Burton. I found it on his official site, but it didn't have any dates on it. I chose this particular piece because of the movement and the story. A lot of his other works are very static, or portrait-like. This one clearly shows the headless horseman riding and the world around him is twisted. There's a dark kind of whimsy to it, and I really dig that.

I chose Tim Burton because his art has inspired me since I was little. I draw with a much different style than he does, but I love looking at his stuff. Nightmare Before Christmas was one of my absolute favorite movies growing up, and I also really like his other films. 

Tim Burton was born August 25th, 1958, and is still alive. He's known for being a director, artist, stop-motion artist, writer, producer, and poet.
