Kev Gahan – illustratör

Find David Lynch and more in eight of his iconic movie and TV worlds.Illustrated with incredible detail by British artist Kev Gahan, this book is an interactive homage to one of cinema’s most unique minds: David Lynch. On each page, David Lynch hides amongst the characters that inhabit his dream-like cinematic worlds, ready for the eagle-eyed reader to spy him among the crowds. These huge illustrations capture eerie external (and internal) landscapes of Twin Peaks, the decaying suburbia of Blue Velvet, the neo-noir anxiety of Mulholland Drive, and more! This book is bursting with super-super-fan references, and the ultimate gift for any David Lynch fan.

This book is a reverent and interactive homage to David Bowie, with dense illustrations of the many real and imagined universes of his own making. Hidden somewhere on each of these double page spreads, a Bowie is patiently waiting to be spotted by the well-trained eye of a fan. As the chameleonic Bowie took on so many iconic personas across his illustrious career, each moment is celebrated chronologically in this book. You will have to find young and dapper David Jones in 1960s Brixton; look for Ziggy Stardust in spaced out Outer Space, crawling with Martian spiders and nestled between the stars; then search for glam Bowie among the revellers at Studio 54; and ask yourself, “is that the Thin White Duke outside Hansa By the Wall in late-70s Berlin?” Each page of this book is so laden with Bowie references that you might even pick up a factoid or two in your search. With fun, detailed illustrations that explore Bowie’s world – and that of his influences – Where’s Bowie is the perfect guide to the cultural icon for both adults and children. Plus, who doesn’t want to raise their kid as a Bowie super-geek? No one – that’s who.
