That is how a contest on www.popstar.com is called. I choose to write to Tim Burton since he is a role model for me and I admire him a lot. Here is what I wrote... Donno if this will ever reach him, but hey, I should at least try, right?
Dear Mr Burton
I apologize in advance for the possible grammar mistakes I might make, but this fan of yours comes all the way from Romania, Europe. You know, where count Dracula lives . I am 19 years old and soon (on 25th of January) I will be 20. To tell you the truth, I have loved your works ever since I was very little, but back then I never bothered to ask myself who is the person behind those creations (like Edward Scissor Hands, the Batman movies, Beetlejuice and so on). When I did some 'investigation' about the amstermind that created it all, I was amazed by the person I have discovered. Since I have this ability of knowing how people are, I know that you might laugh or at least smile at what I am going to say, because you are not arrogant, so here it goes: I think you are a genius. Your art is the most amazing that I have ever seen, because I can tell the amount of emotion you put in it and your view of the world. I like also that you do not idealize the world in your works. I mean, it is not all sunshine and happyness, it also has sadness and the beauty in the things that are considered ugly by most people.
There is a thing I apreciate a lot about people and that is when they see how a person really is like beyond their appearence. You can see the real talent in people, taht is your recipee for your great works. You put a lot of effort in your art and not a lot of people do that anymore. Instead of looking for the perfect scenario that will be the next hit and have a great success, you look for the scenario that will express somethign great and you turn it in a work of art. You pay attention to every little detail so the viewer can enter the atmosphere of your work. I've even come to recognize your style. And whenever I see something similar to your work, made by other artists, I say that it is made in Tim Burton style. Because, you see, to me you are a great talent that has an original style that deserves to be called after you.
I am an artist too, but I draw in anime/manga style. All the progress I have done so far is thanks to my perseverence and paying atention to all the things surounding me. There is still a long way for me to go so I can be a good artist and I have a lot to learn so I can make brilliant scenarios for my storyes, but I'll work hard untill then
. I also hope that one day I will make a drawing specially for you, somethign you will like and I hope it will reach you. I promise I will make it from my heart and will enjoy every minute spent drawing it.
Thank you for sharing your works with us, your loyal fans. I shall tresure all your works.
Sincerely,
Denisa Gherdan from Romania
