I have your illustrated copy. It's part of my childhood. I always liked the angles and how your style made a nice contrast to the simplicity of the story, and made it easy to picture something that wasn't the disney version which the original story is definately not.

I love this book, I just read it recently and before I read it I knew it was going to a dark book, but the shock value for half the stuff in it still caught me off, especially since it's a childrens book. I always felt a stop-motion picture of this needed to be made Nice work

I really hope this becomes a movie x3 But, it's beautiful and it has a dark side that makes it even more extraordinary.

THIS was how I was introduced to your work. Very fun looking and reminiscent of Tim Burton, if I do say so myself. It totally shows we're not in for our regular cutesy-looking Pinocchio book illustrations here. I can't wait for the film to (hopefully) come out, by the way.

No problem.

One thing I'm curious about, though: what do you think of some of the other movie adaptations of Pinocchio, like the famous Disney version or the laughably bad dub of the Robert Benigni one?

GrisGrimly In reply to ManiacalDude [2012-06-28 03:45:53 +0000 UTC]

hmm? Disney=Great and horrifying for the time. Robert Benigni=Haven't seen it yet.
