But she knows she has curse on her
A curse she cannot win.
For if someone gets
Too close to her,
The pins stick farther in.
I admire Tim Burton's work so much, initially as a director with his unique dark and quirky style, and secondly as a writer and illustrator.
Flicking through the children's book shelves of Waterstones today (a yearly tradition as it makes me feel rather christmasy:) this small heart illustration and poem verse really charmed me; published in the book 'The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy'.
The image has become somewhat iconic for Burton's illustrations and the craze has transfered onto t-shirts, bags and even tattoos throughout his fan base.
It is simple, charming and effortless yet so impacting.
