Get psyched for next year's Alice in Wonderland at this year's MoMA retrospective of one of the Hollywood careers I most envy. Come ready for all things Tim Burton. This show will highlight his childhood scrawls, his first films and original Nightmare Before Christmas storyboards. If you're a geeked out nerdy specimen of the male variety you CAN get your girlfriend to come along without judging you (if you even have a girlfriend). Invite her to come partake of all things Johnny. Can you really expect her to think of anything else when she's thinking of Tim Burton? She'll come for Mr. Depp but stay for Tim's twisted take on blithe girlhood. With more than 700 drawings and sketches it promises to be Burton like never before.

The retrospective is also kicking off the release of Burton's massive new book 'The Art of Tim Burton'. Buy it for me (or yourself...sigh) for Christmas or for Before Christmas. Haha. I crack me up. It comes packaged in both limited-edition lithograph ($300) and standard hardcover ($70) versions and can be pre-ordered from Steeles Publishing. It will be available at the MoMA bookstore and at Forbidden Planet in both the USA and the UK. “Battle Spread,” 1980-1989 Pen and ink, watercolor © 2009 Tim Burton
