DAVE MCKEAN

To say that Dave McKean has pushed the

boundaries of graphic design would be a gross

understatement. His work has gone far beyond making

a cover a mere accessory to the contents of a comic

book-- rather, his inimitable style enhances the contents therein.

 

As an artist, his work has appeared almost

everywhere, ranging from exclusive New York City

galleries, to magazine and comic covers, to the

images found on CD booklets. Yet, his name is not

well known outside of his fandom. His signature

rarely, if ever, appears on his work, yet his work

is unmistakeable.

 

Although a good deal of his work is accomplished

through a fusion of traditional painting methods

combined with the technology of Adobe Photoshop, he

is the quintessential artist. His work extends into

photography, watercolor, pencil, and almost every

other possible medium.
