Iain McCaig divides his energies between a lifelong love of storytelling, and a passionate belief that everyone in the world can learn to draw. McCaig has worked for over 40 years in the entertainment industry. Many of his creations have become pop-culture icons, like his cover for Jethro Tull's Broadsword and the Beast or his Star Wars designs for Queen Amidala and Darth Maul. He has created art for games, from LucasArts' The Secret of Monkey Island to Respawn's Titanfall, and for many films, among them Terminator 2, Interview With The Vampire, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Hook, Peter Pan, Charlotte's Web, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Disney's live-action The Jungle Book, and the ongoing Star Wars movies, as well as designs for the Star Wars: The High Republic graphic novels, and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge theme parks. In his spare time, McCaig writes, produces and directs, and wanders the land encouraging people to draw and tell stories. In 2008, Palace Press published Shadowline: the Art of Iain McCaig, a combination of 28 years of McCaig's commercial and private artwork, a mini-course in how-to-draw, and a fictionalized expose of his creative process. In May 2008, Spectrum Fantastic Art gave McCaig their GRAND MASTER Award, and in September 2021, the Concept Art Association honored him with a LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT Award. Based in British Colombia, Canada.

"Couldn't stop reading this dreamlike and deliciously dark story collection from the endlessly inventive Iain McCaig. Populated by ghosts, vampires, werewolves and stranger creatures still, Smalltown feels macabre and otherworldly, yet delightfully close to home.”Nick Sagan (Screenwriter for Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager; Author of the Idlewild Trilogy)."Prepare to be amazed, because everything you read here really happened… or at least, that's what Iain says! From battling vampires in Smalltown to befriending ghosts on distant asteroids, every story in this one-of-a-kind autobiography reveals the extraordinary and wonderful life of Iain McCaig. Iain’s world is a place of endless wonder, and I'm grateful to have this peek inside”.Kerry Conran (Writer/Director of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow).
