So does anyone know how the man makes his art? Computer? What sort? What programmes? So on and so forth?

That said, it'd probablly ruin the magic of the images, but still...

A mixture of many differnt media. Ink, Acrylic,Oil,Collage, Photography and some computer tweaking with packages such as Photoshop...Although i don't think the computer element should be overly emphasised...He only 'discovered' Photoshop about halfway through the Sandman run and his work was just as exiting and beautiful before that. He just added another element to the work with the computer as a tool...I think his best work at the moment is the Cages style pen and ink stuff he's doing...

Pictures that Tick by the way is a beauty and covers most of his different styles...

...he also covers music artists like Front Line Assembly...good stuff...though I have to say that his influence has brought out lots of imitators...kind of like the arrival of disproportioned figures after TMc got hot drawing Spidey...

How does he do it? Well let's just say he doesn't do anything until 23 envelope [4AD's designer] does it first. Fact.

If you ever want to do a copy of Dave mckean's style then photoshop will give you the tools. There is, however more to it than that...
