Dave McKean is one of my favorite artists. He gained popularity with his covers for Neil Gaiman's comic The Sandman. In addition to being a terrific illustrator, he writes, has produced films, and creates incredible tarot decks. The first image that ever got my attention was the cover for "The Sound of Her Wings," the first Sandman comic to feature Death. I was at the Words and Pictures comic book museum in Northampton, MA. The cover is actually painting/sculpture about 36"x48" with artificial ivy tacked around the edges. It took my breath away. This reproduction does not do it justice:
