Artist's Comments

An entry for ~Burton-fans' Club ID contest.
Since this is a deviantID, I'm submitting it to that category, even though I do not intend to use it as such myself, but whatever.


So... Yeah :|
My mind is clearly not familiar with the concept of "Less is more". To me, more seems to be more. Pushing "more" into the realm of "too much" results in "Crap".

Anyway, yes, every piece of this, erm, piece... Let me start over: Every bit of this picture is a reference to a Tim Burton movie/creation, or to Mr. Burton himself.

Namely, the movies referenced here are
Beetlejuice,
Edward Scissorhands,
Ed Wood,
Corpse Bride,
The Nightmare Before Christmas,
Sweeney Todd,
Planet of the Apes,
Mars Attacks,
Batman,
Sleepy Hollow
and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I think those are all.

Um, while I'm not completely disgusted about the result as a standalone piece, I don't feel this thing is quite appropriate for a club ID... But this is all I could come up with. Actually, the original concept was entirely different, but I was never crazy about it. One day, as I punched every inanimate object around me and tore my hair out in frustration and disgust, this second concept came to me. I liked it. Until I polluted it with execution, that is. But it could be worse.

I found that the vertical proportion really influences my sense of composition, of which of course I have nothing.

If there's a Surrealist sub-genre consisting of portaits of artist which contain a list of visual references to that artist, well, I think I'll feel right at home in that genre.
If no such genre exists, then I'm a pioneer in the field of the Surrealist Resume =P

Well, that' it.
Hope you like it.

The fonts I don't know where I got. If anyone knows or is the one who owns that Nightmare Before Christmas font and does not grant free use, well, I'd like to know.

All the characters here belong most likely to Tim Burton or Disney or Touchstone... And there is one tiny manipulated piece of photography from sxc.hu.

:D Heehee, thank you so much!! :boogie:

Charlie wouldn't be half as scary without the little Oompa Loompa guy...

(Yes, I have some psychiatric trauma involving dark-skinned little people ¬¬).

Q: Why did the surrealist cross the road?
A: Because eight hallucinations of incandescent swans were melting irrevocably into the screaming ghost of Nelson de la Rosa.

I just like the music in the movie. Willy Wonka will always be a freaking pedophile in my universe

The music is perfect, yes.

A pedophile??!! How dare you!
Now look here, Willy Wonka may be a lot of things, including but not limited to a murderer, a thief, a monkey-rapist, a druglord, a cannibal freemason, a professional table-tennis player, a guerrilla-warfare arms smuggler, a compulsive shopper with gambling problems, an alcoholic wife-beater and a black grand piano... erm... and a pedophile :| Yeah, I sort of lost the idea.

To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.
