(1996), Batman Returns (1992), Edward Scissorhands (1990) and also wonderful animations like Corpse Bride (2005) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). The Tim Burton Collective is a website with News and articles related to Tim Burton and his work, it has also information related to his early movies. One of those early movies is Vincent (1982), a stop-motion animated movie shot in beautiful black and white, it was based on a poem Burton had written himself. The short film tells the sad tale of Vincent Malloy, a suburbanite boy who wants to be just like his idol, Vincent Price, the narration was provided by Vincent Price. Vincent was released on a small number screens by Disney, who were unsure how to market the morbid little film. Though few people saw it at the time, it played well at festivals and ultimately acted as Burton’s calling card in Hollywood. Thanks to you tube now it´s possible to everyone watch Vincent. Another early Tim Burton movie is Frankenweenie (1984). An affectionate black and white homage to Frankenstein and other monster movies. Burton came up with the story, which tells the tale of a young Victor Frankenstein living in a typical suburb. When his beloved dog Sparky is run over by a car, Victor brings him back to life with science. However, in time-honoured monster movie tradition, he is misperceived as a threat to the community. But it all ends happily when the suburbanites realise Sparky is a good dead dog, and help return him to life a second time. Unfortunately, the film never saw a release at the time. Disney had planned to screen it before a re-release of Pinocchio, but that plan was cancelled when Frankenweenie was given a PG rating, making it “unsuitable” for younger kids. Watch Frankenweenie part 1 and part 2. In 2000 Tim Burton created a series of 6 cartoons about a superhero called Stainboy which the only talent he seems to have is to leave a large stain.

[via]  Florence portrait is a work in progress from the new series “Rubikcubim” by Invader, which makes picures using Rubik cubes. Here are some answers about his work Why Rubik's cubes ? I feel it's a logical, and interesting, continuation of my work. Like Space Invaders, the Rubik's Cube is an 80s game made from colored squares. It's a fascinating object, as it's both extremely simple and extremely complex. Did you know there are over 43 billion possible permutations for a Rubik's Cube? I use the Rubik's Cube like an artist uses paint. I like the idea that it wasn't intended to be used this way, and that ultimately it works really well. Do you show your work in institutions or galleries? Yes. What you can see in the street is only part of what I do. I like to switch from one to the other, it's a way of doing different things. Right now I'm working on a project that uses Rubik's Cube, the Eighties cult puzzle, as the basis for pictures and sculptures. I call this my "RubikCubist" period. Read the FAQ about Space Invader here.  Right Place is a short movie directed by Kosai Sekine, about a Japanese convenience store clerk with Obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Kiddie Records Weekly is a three year project celebrating the golden age of children's records. This brief but prolific period spanned from the mid forties through the early fifties, producing a wealth of all-time classics. Many of these recordings were extravagant Hollywood productions on major record labels and featured big time celebrities and composers. Over the years, these forgotten treasures have slipped off the radar and now stand on the brink of extinction." Kiddie Records mission is to "give them a new lease on life by sharing them with today's generation of online listeners. Each recording has been carefully transferred from the original 78s and encoded to MP3 format for you to download and enjoy."
