I was very lucky to meet Tim Burton as well as Ken Ralston from Sony Imageworks, I’ve been working directly at the film set in Plymouth and later on at the set in LA, it’s been a great time working for one of my favourite directors. Seeing Johnny Depp‘s performance was also mindblowing, he’s amazingly talented,” explains Michael in a journal entry from June 2009.

Now that the film has run its course in theaters & is available on DVD, Michael can freely share the bulk of the conceptual art he’d created for the Disney/Burton version of Alice In Wonderland. The illustrations, Michael informs us, were all created using Corel Painter X.
