Tim Burton exhibit coming to MOMA

Beginning November 22nd, New York's Museum of Modern Art will unveil a retrospective exhibit honoring the work of Tim Burton. In addition to the expected film stills and props, there will also be plenty of Burton's original artwork.

Yes, this is the guy who gave us those pathetic remakes of Planet of the Apes and Willie Wonka, but he's also the artist who brought us classics like Edward Scissorhands and Nightmare Before Christmas. The Vulture website has a slideshow gallery featuring a bunch of rarely-seen Burton art, including early sketches of Mssrs. Scissorhands and Skellington, and some fine art paintings I'd never seen before. It'll remind you why you were such a fan of this guy in high school.
