In the early 1980s, while working as an apprentice animator at Disney, a young Tim Burton channeled his creative energies into personal projects, leading to a rich artistic career.
His series of extravagantly decorated numbers was initially created for an unpublished children's book, later evolving into chapter headings for The Art of Tim Burton, showcasing 40 years of his artistry.
According to curator Maria McLintock, anthropomorphic creatures are a significant element in Burton's work, reflecting his unique approach to character design and storytelling.
Burton’s creative process begins with extensive sketching, often using a pocket-sized sketchbook accompanied by a watercolor kit to bring his ideas to life.
