Dave McKean is an English illustrator with style notable for its mass inclusion of drawing, painting photography, collage, found objects, digital art, and sculpture. Thus, his visual style can hardly be identified according to the attributes of any one medium. Often times, his work forfeits any grounded realism and instead abstractly depicts a mood or atmosphere by seaming together various imagery almost like a crooked quilt.

His work has been used for numerous book covers, and was notably seen in comic books such as Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum.
