Keanoshow

I was very upset earlier today because I was looking up Keanoshow, the DVD collection of Dave McKean's short films, and I could not find it anywhere. Not at Amazon.com. Not at eBay. Not at Half.com. A Google search found a number of online DVD stores, all saying the item is no longer available. I thought, What is the good of the Internet, if not to find rare and obscure releases to gratify my very specific tastes?

Then I saw here that the DVD may not have been released yet after all, that it had been canceled by the studio. That makes me feel a little better that I didn't just miss it by two months, but I'm still anxious to see it.

Either way, I turned to YouTube and found a few videos credited to Dave McKean. Here are a couple that I think are probably included on the Keanoshow DVD (although I have no way of knowing).

Sonnet 138

The Week Before (this one appears incomplete)

I really hope this DVD does get released soon. I just can't get enough of Dave McKean's artwork.

I know you blogged about Mirrormask a fair bit before it came out, but did you ever get a chance to see it?

The story was nothing spectacular, I thought, but the visuals were absolutely stunning. Gorgeous from start to finish.

That's pretty much what I thought of Mirrormask too. Dave McKean is a rare example of a comics artist whom I read for the artwork and not the story. Mirrormask is really a full-motion translation of his comics style.

Thanks for the notice. I'll be buying it as soon as I get next month's paycheck.
