Dave McKean - Postcard from Paris

About the book Postcard from Paris

Postcard from Paris is the fourth title in Dave McKean's “Postcard from” series. This book presents a collection of drawings created between May and June 2008, during the artist's stay in Paris — for the exhibition dedicated to him by "BdArtist(e)".

Like Postcard from Vienna (2006) and Postcard from Barcelona (2007), this collection of stunning black-and-white drawings allows us to contemplate Paris through McKean's unique perspective.

Like the others in the collection, this sketchbook will delight collectors, as well as all illustrators, graphic designers, and comic book authors.
