Guillermo del Toro is the most visually imaginative director alive today.

Late in 2013, del Toro released a voluminous book, entitled Cabinet of Curiosities: My Notebooks, Collections, and Other Obsessions. As he explains in the video below, the 256-page hardcover is a selection from his notebooks, where the director developed many of the monstrosities we’ve seen on screen.

The Sket notes that there’s something of da Vinci’s notebooks in del Toro’s records: the small, neat script, mixed in with the wonderfully detailed sketches, combine to give the impression of del Toro doing his best to record the torrent of his imagination before the thoughts disappear.
