How Dave McKean created The Sandman Covers & Much, Much More (Interview)

Фильм және анимация

The covers of the original run of the Sandman (all 75 issues) were created by one artist named Dave McKean. McKean, however, is much more than an illustrator. He is also a graphic designer, a photographer, a writer, a filmmaker, a musician and a mixed-media artist that uses and fuses anything he can get his hands on. I was fortunate enough to meet and interview Dave to discuss not only his work on the Sandman but also a number of projects from his vast and varied career.

    I absolutely love the semi-psychedelic, mysterious, muted but at the same time colorful and fascinating style of the Sandman covers. Along with the stories themselves, the covers are an integral part if those books and their interpretations. Loved this small peak behind the curtain; look into the mind of such an amazing artist. Great interview!

    I genuinely obsess over this man. He does not get all the credit that he deserves when I was a wee one I remember mirror mask coming out and I was so caught up by it. And then getting older and studying the arts and moving image always coming back to this man and refereeing him. Right now I'm in university and I'm doing a presentation about him. Because honestly I've never been as interested in another artist as I am him. I just want to crawl inside of his brain and have a peep at whats in there because its crazy! Why is this man not as well known as he should be!!!

    seen Mirrormask as a kid and never knew how much it influenced my dreams and life. His art form is disturbing in a fascinating way!

    I have just rediscovered Dave McKean, whose work had somehow been buried in my unconscious mind, and now I have the chance to have an insight into his thought processes, thanks to your interview. I mean, can I even thank you enough? My mind has just been blown away. Many thanks.

    I've been a fan of McKean since Black Orchid. I have my original copies of Cages on a proud spot on my shelf. I haven't seen as much of his work recently. The last I'd seen from him was Celluloid. Looking forward to this conversation. Thanks!
