Dave McKean

I’m using these first 4 research/influence posts to highlight influences that I’ve built up so far in my practise.

I’ve been a big fan of McKean’s work since 2005.

The best work showing his range and skills as an illustrator and layout designer has to be ‘Black Dog’, the dream-like retelling of the life events of Paul Nash, a British Modernist painter. In the book he uses collage, pencil and ink, photoshopped manipulations as well as paint and photography. It’s a great piece of work and captures his range and love of materials. Another aspect of McKeans work that I really enjoy is his hand made typography and inventiveness with type. Sometimes he cuts out simple shapes to make letters or uses his fine line work and then goes back in an manipulates individual letters or just uses a variety of sizes and styles in the one heading. The best examples of this are in ‘The Sandman’ series where he made the illustrations and titles for each graphic novel.
