Do Not Sit Down Illusion Head

(from "The Melancholy Death of Oysterboy" by Tim Burton)

I once knew a girl
who would just stand there and stare.
At anyone or anything,
she seemed not to care

She'd stare at the ground,

She'd stare at the sky.

She'd stare at you for hours,
and you'd never know why.

But after winning the local staring contest,

she finally gave her eyes
a well-deserved rest.

Apart from his hauntingly quaint short story book, "The Melancholy Death of Oysterboy", Timmy B has been working on some animations, all revolving around the character "stainboy" (also from the book "The Melancholy Death of Oysterboy") a superhero who ruminates stains and is also the renowned vigilante of The Municipal Town of Burbank. He works for the Burbank Police Department and by the command of the Chief of Police, rids the town of 'low life scum' or social outcasts which jeopardize the towns... uh... already mediocre and slightly distpoicesque image. lol.

With that gallery space opening over the last few months, and these cartoons and novella, Tim Burton is finally opening up his closet of wonders to his loyal audience, rather than showering us with the silver screen. Not that I'm complaining, but since I stumbled apon a website of Burton's sketches, my hunger grew from the Artists works, well beyond his uniquely stylized films which always feed the starving artist. At the very least, this one.
