… pathways to Infinity and Oblivion: from Guy Dickinson’s stunning and mysterious topology of the spirit, Epistle Two: Cartographies (@tracing_silence), to the latest Iain Sinclair cabinet of furiosities, Agents of Oblivion, from Swan River Press. I’m looking forward to spending quite a bit of time getting lost in them.

Time for one of my favorite #movies again, one that I haven't watched in quite a few years now... #MirrorMask.

It's a surreal dark fantasy from the #JimHenson Company, with a story by #NeilGaiman and #DaveMcKean. Visual design is by McKean, who also directs the film. If you enjoy stories like Labyrinth and Coraline, it's definitely worth a look.

Saw this while browsing. Saw #DaveMcKean, #GrantMorrison. Automatically bought the book!

@SaltyMonk @neilhimself Everytime someone mentions anything from the #Gaimanshelf I sit up like a meerkat hoping they're about to say "In Violent Cases..." #ViolentCases #DaveMcKean #MyheartstillstopswhenIhearthewordsviolincases

I fell in love with Dave McKean's art because of Sandman.
But Cages holds a special place in my heart. It's the first Graphic Novel the missus bought me, the Xmas she met my parents. There was a delivery snaffu so I received a pretend present, a friend's Cages, and had to give it back to receive mine a few days later.
It's unsual seeing B&W inks from McKean too, so this (signed) book will never ever leave my library.

An interview with #DaveMcKean about #aiart Good to hear his thoughts on this messy subject. He made a book and illustrations as an experiment. He says he felt 'sick' using it knowing the way it steals from artists, including himself. Also realizing it will probably be the end of commercial illustrators.
Have not tried any AI stuff myself but can not deny being fascinated by some of work I've seen. I suppose even some of my own work has been sucked up by bots by now 😨

DAVE McKEAN - Interview: AI Image-making and Its Implications

#aiart #thesandman #davemckean

#DaveMcKean's #Werewolf clan warrior from page sixteen of #Meanwhile number two, October 1983.

I know a guy who was offered the huge original of this, for sale cheap from Dave, at a #Westminster #ComicMart in the eighties, and turned it down.

Apparently he's still contorting himself horrifically to kick himself regularly.

Illustrator Dave McKean says that when he learned about A.I image creation, he needed to either retire or respond - "For me the art is about doing it, not the end result"

"The sound of her wings..."

On this day in 1989, Death made her first appearance in Sandman Issue 8.

This is perfectly recreated in Netflix's The Sandman Episode 6. Thanks, @neilhimself@twitter.com. A dream come true!
