The Mixed Mediums of Dave McKean

Posted by Gary Kane on

Dave McKean is an English illustrator, photographer, comic book Artist and graphic designer among other things. His eclectic work incorporates drawing, painting, photography, collage, found objects and digital art. McKean is truly a mixed media artist and one of the first to embrace digital technologies in such an open fashion. In the 80s McKean met author Neil Gaiman with whom he began a partnership that would produce much creative work.

Teaming up with authors, playwrights and filmmakers McKean has had the chance to create a spectacularly varied body of work.

The mixture of Art mediums makes Mckean's work recognizable and at times even frightening in its theme and execution.
