Tim Burton began his journey through the world of cinematography being an animator for Disney. His works in animation are well known and in Nightmare Before Christmas we have one of his top works. A filmmaker who always had a tendency for everything dark, the characters that walk in the shadows and for that Eduardo Scissorhands who may simply be the one who best represents the spirit of this great artist.
We usually bring in certain artists who devise a way to attract looks trying to make us see what they would be like Game of Thrones characters if they were drawn by Disney, to do the opposite today. What if Tim Burton had been the in charge of artistic direction of each of those Disney movies that we all know. Surely we would find something similar to what Andrew Tarusov has illustrated.
A great attempt on his part to imagine how Tim Burton would have treated some of the most mythical Disney characters such as Beauty and the Beast, Bambi or Pinocchio. The truth that do a great job, although we may have a bit of the string that Burton would think if he knew this series of illustrations.
Anyway, it helps us to rescue a Tim Burton that after several more commercial Hollywood productions, he had gone through a black age to which many artists navigate at certain stages of their lives. Surely we will see him again remembering more that Eduardo Scissorhands or Nightmare before Christmas.
As we settle for Andrew Tarusov, born in russia and that he lives in Los Angeles to learn that he has been studying art and animation for 10 years. A big fan of Disney classics, as can be seen in each of these illustrations and which you can find in your own website.
