Stick Boy And Match Girl In Love A Short Story By Tim Burton

Stick Boy liked Match Girl,
He liked her a lot.
He liked her cute figure,
he thought she was hot.

But could a flame ever burn
for a match and a stick?
It did quite literally;
he burned up quick.

From Tim Burton's book The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy.

Tim Burton's MoMA Exhibit

MoMA has an exhibition of Tim Burton's films, drawings, sculptures and other artifacts running throughout this year.

He's a master at creating a world for his puppet-like characters to play in. I remember seeing PeeWee's Big Adventure and Beetlejuice and thinking it was like a real-life cartoon, with cartoon-like characters.

I think he's only been successful at any sort of character development with Big Fish, but I don't think that is his forté anyway.

Hopefully the Burton A-Game will be back on-screen in March for Alice in Wonderland. Something he was born to direct.
