I've always loved stories, some of my earliest memories as a child are of being read to sleep with a fairytale or made up tall tale. It's one of the only things I remember as a child and no doubt contributed to me living in my own head a bit. Roald Dahl was always a favorite, his slightly twisted balance of light and dark really appealed to me and has heavily influenced my recent attempts at trying to get back into drawing.
It's no surprise with my love of the dark and fantastical that I soon found Tim Burton, the similarities between him and Dahl are obvious so it was a natural step to fall in love with film too. I've just finished reading Tim Burton's biography so as a tribute thought I would attempt a Nightmare Before Christmas inspired illustration.
