HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I figured it was only fitting to draw Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas today. I love that movie! I actually had the opportunity to meet Tim Burton a few years ago when he was doing a book signing near my school. I decided to skip class along with one of my classmates and when we got there the PR people where going up and down the line telling us he would not sign any books personally. I didn't care what they said, I figured this was my one chance to meet him and I was going to ask him just to sign the book to me. When I got to him, I told him how we had skipped class and asked if he could just write "To Rich" in the book. He started laughing and said we shouldn't have skipped class and of course he would write whatever we wanted. He said it was the least he could do for us missing class. I just had him write something normal, but the girl that was with me asked him to write "Can't wait to cast you in my next film and work with you one day", lol. He loved that and actually wrote it. Funny, huh? Anyway, hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!!!!

Aww Nightmare Before Christmas. I love that movie. It's such a shame it's become the bible for the modern emo. Great sketch nonetheless.
i love how this one turned out! i'd love to see your version of the corpse bride!
Good story, and drawing!!

Thanks, Bob! Yeah, aside from him casting Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in every movie, Tim Burton is a great guy.
