Dave's creative approach to painting, using evocative music to conjure up a mood or a mindset and to utilize it when returning to work in order to maintain continuity, is exactly what I do when writing. It's a bit silly, I suppose, but I find it rather comforting to know that one of my favourite creatives shares at least one trait with me.
Dear Folio, this book of yours is an insta-buy. I just ordered it. The dog scene is one of the most beautiful written scene I remember in my reader experience, and Dave mcKean illustration of it nails the mood. I wish there was a printable version of it to make a poster.
I hate Folio Society! They are too expensive for me! But man...just look at them...so gorgeous!!! I am already a bookworm, and they make me feel like i would enjoy reading the book even more!!!

Thanks so much for your kind words about this edition and Dave McKean's stunning illustrations!
Fantastic video, thanks so much for sharing the interview.
He should've said what music he was playing.
I said I was listening to Stefano Battaglia's album Pasolini, and John Zorn, but that was cut out.
Dave McKean thank you for the reply. It seems interesting so I'll check it out.
Dave McKean thanks for sharing this, and of course for the whole interview, it was fascinating!
