Dave McKean’s Studio and ‘Postcards from Prague’

Saturday, November 7th, 2020

I’ve been a big fan of Dave McKean‘s work since I first discovered it donning the covers of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comic. Since then, I’ve excitedly watch his art develop across multiple genres, and always remain fresh and innovative.

A while back at the onset of Covid, release date of one of Dave’s books was postponed due to the crisis. Rather than wait for it to reach store shelves, he decided to release the book in it’s entirety on his social media. The book, ‘Postcards from Prague’, is a collection of drawings inspired by his frequent visits to the country. The complete book is compiled below for your enjoyment.

And for those of you who are fans of Dave’s work, you’ll likely be interested this recent interview with Dave McKean, as he walks you through his home and studio:
