I have an awesome husband. Help me be an awesome(r) wife.

His art:

Another giraffe.

His website is www.gabriellehman.com. Thank you guys!

Why hasn't Tim Burton hired him?

It's cool art. But I personally don't like the style. So I'll just +1 to help out.

Hey, @imgur, maybe you should see if they would like to have an ad? This is content we like, and they have things to sell. Win win.

To be fair, this has been posted several times before, all resulting in the guy selling stuff.

Horrible idea. This way works. If we did it that way, we would hate them too, since they didn't go through customs.

What if there were a thing where if these things hit the FP they have a chance to become an ad? I don't know how these things work.

1/2 James and the Giant Peach has almost nothing to do with TB or his style. Henry Selick, same director as Nightmare, directed JatGP and

11 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 3

Burton was a producer of both Nightmare and Peach so it has a lot to do with him...

11 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 3

Sure he threw money at Peach,but it was all Selick on the direction.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

I don't think you understand what a producer does if you think that.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Sadly few people actually know what a producer does. They just think they throw money around and that's it.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Producers can have a lot of say in artistic direction, and I would say my point stands in that the style seems related to BOTH 1/2

I've never worked on a feature film, but I can say from my current work on a hit TLC show that our producers have a lot of say in production
