Untitled[edit]

Given the numerous music artists, Dave McKean has drawn albums covers for, shouldn't it be better to have a separated page with theses albums/artists, instead of having it listed in the main page. If we have one (Front Line Assembly today) every one will be willing to add the other ones. This will end up in a messy page ! Lvr 08:34, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Cover Art[edit]

I agree with you, but with a time variable =) Read on.

I think its a good idea, but if you're going to do that, you should research up enough content to make an entire page, elsewise a page will be created with simply that example. But then again, I don't think it would be any messier than your average discography--isn't that what it is? an 'ography' for cover art? Seems like they are included on the main artist page often enough.Yeago 04:09, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I propose to let it this way. I'm going to find some other similar content that could be put together, either in separated section in the main page or in a new page such as Dave_McKean/Cover_Arts.Lvr 12:21, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

NEW DAVE MCKEAN FANSITE[edit]

I have recently completed my Dave McKean fansite @

www.davemckean-collector.co.uk

Could this be added to your Dave Mckean links page/section?

Thank you. Kevin King (DM-C)

Accurate Name[edit]

According to Neil Gaiman's blog of Oct 16, 2008, "David Tench McKean" was a joke that Wikipedia is now inadvertently propagating. I'm not sure how one goes about determining a celebrity's legal name, but apparently "Tench" does not belong. http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/10/circus-fish.html

Early Life[edit]

Hello. I think there should be a section where the article talks about Dave McKean's early life instead of just jumping into his career. I think it would serve the reader well to know more about him before he started his career. Reading it, I feel as though there is a huge gap of information that could be added. Thank you for reviewing my edits.
