Tiffinnie - Gothic Romanticism.

I wasn't quite sure what to write. I don't think I can honestly sit here and tell you "my mother is my role model" because... she isn't. I can't say I look up to many people or aspire to be like anyone I actually know. I can't really say I  know what it is I aspire to do either. There are a few things that I was thinking about doing with this blog... like write a falseblog labeling Enrique Iglesias as my role model... or just drawing a picture and then saying "I don't really know what to write about so I drew you a picture instead"... Alright... so I honestly looked up what a role model was... "person who serves as an example, whose behavior is emulated by others"...

As far back as I can remember I have more or less wanted to have brain-children with Tim Burton. In college I looked for any way to push myself and my work into that dark yet romantic and innocent frame of mind, therefore it would show up in my work. I wanted to not COPY his style, I wanted to create my own while being inspired by his. I mean... the man is a genius.
I transfered schools to try my hand in character animation... I failed... epically... and went back to graphic design for a few more months before dropping out due to lack of challenge.
Now I could give you an entire history lesson on Tim Burton, his work with Disney, his interesting relationship and living situation with Helena Bonham Carter, and a little history on all of his work... but thats not what this weeks blog is about. I've given you the name of the person that inspires me when it comes to my art. Someone I look up to when it comes to standing out and not letting someone tell you that different is bad. Tim Burton and I should have brain-children. He may not be the most attractive man... at all really... but that man's brain is literally amazing. Gorgeous... What I would give to discuss art and movies and whatnots with him!! Ahh.

And that is all I have to say on this subject. Have a lovely week, dear readers. Until next time <# (thats a waffle heart. be happy it means tasty love.)
