Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast talks to the brilliant illustrator and movie-maker Dave McKean in an interview which is also filled with plenty of gorgeous artwork to give your eyes a treat. On first breaking into books and comics: “publishing my first book with Neil Gaiman (Violent Cases) and realizing I had two seemingly opposing views: I didn’t feel my work was good enough to be published professionally, but looking around at the stuff that was getting published, I thought I could do better than that! Doing Cages was important, as it was the first project that really felt like it was mine.”
