PROGRAM UPDATE: Due to personal circumstances Iain McCaig will not be able to join us at The Art Department. His time slot will be filled by an artist talk by Iris Compiet.
An artist, writer and filmmaker Iain McCaig knows how to channel his multi-talents into creating iconic pop-culture designs. Such were his cover for Jethro Tull’s Broadsword and the Beast or his Star Wars designs for Queen Amidala and Darth Maul. Iain divides his energies between a lifelong love of storytelling, and a passion belief that everyone in the world can learn to draw.
He has worked for more than four decades in the entertainment industry. He has created art for games and many films, among them are Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers:Infinity War, Harry Potter ant the Goblet of Fire, Peter Pan and well as the Star Wars franchise.
His passion for storytelling also expands to writing and illustrating books. His art book Shadowline – The Art Of Iain McCaig beautifully summarises his film and publishing work. In May 2008, Spectrum Fantastic Art awarded Iain their ‘Grand Master’ award, and in September 2021, the Concept Art Association honored him with a ‘Lifetime Achievement Award.’
We can’t wait to hear all about this industry’s legend take on storytelling, concept art and design during his time at The Art Department Eindhoven!
