“I like being able to do anything. I think that's healthy, doing anything and everything, rather than just getting completely obsessed with one particular genre or particular kind of work.” ThinkingKindAbleParticularHealthyGenreObsessedAnything And Everything Author:Dave McKean
“I tend to be known for different things. I mean, there are a lot of comics or sci-fi fans out there who sort of think of me doing that kind of work, but there are just as many people who like the CD covers I've done, or the children's books I've done. So different people like different things.” PeopleThinkingKindMeanChildrenBookDifferentDoneKnownFansDifferent ThingsSci FiDifferent PeoplesCdsThink Of MeChildren's Books Author:Dave McKean
“But actually making pictures to look like my pictures, I've done it for so long, I'm kind of used to it now. So at the beginning of the process, designing and storyboarding everything, I sort of did all that. And then designed the characters, and doing the textures for the characters, and the texture maps to cover all the animated characters and the sets, I did those, because that's where my sort of coloring and textures get imprinted on the film.” LooksKindLongDoneCharacterFilmUsedProcessDesignMapsTextureAnimatedStoryboarding Author:Dave McKean
“I kind of enjoy the limits. If you've got no limits, you can do absolutely anything, it's very difficult, actually. I always enjoyed working with machines like color photocopiers and letter-pressing type settings, things where the limits are very apparent. You push the machine to do something, and it tries to do its best, and it usually has wonderful qualities all of its own. Then you get a sort of dialogue going, and the limitations become qualities.” IfsTryingKindEnjoyDifficultCan DoQualityWonderfulColorTypeLimitsLettersMachinesSettingDialogueSettingsEnjoyedLimitation Author:Dave McKean
“So I really love this very difficult feeling of being completely out at sea. I don't know what I'm doing, and I kind of like this feeling. So I think for the moment, I'm going to continue to try and nail film down in some sort of shape where I'm happy with it.” ThinkingKnowsTryingKindMomentsFeelingsFilmDifficultSeaShapesNails Author:Dave McKean
