"Shadowline: The Art of Iain McCaig"

Posted By Mike on November 1, 2008



McClatchyDC.com brings our attention to the book, "Shadowline: The Art of Iain McCaig" via an interview with Star Wars artist, Iain McCaig. Click here for the interview and here to order your copy at Amazon.


Excerpt from McClatchyDC.com below:

"About half-way through reading "Shadowline: The Art of Iain McCaig" you realize well-known "Star Wars" artist Iain McCaig is having too much fun.

That's because McCaig, who worked on the first three movies of the "Star Wars" saga as a conceptual artist as well as "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," treats his first book as a romp through his imagination rather than a traditional "art of" book.

For him the Shadowline is "a real place. It's the name of that state I get into when I start to draw. I suspect it's the same place where most of us go when we create."

In a McClatchy interview, he elaborated on the difference between art and his experience as an artist. "Whenever anybody introduces an artist they care about — it's all about the paintbrush moving! It's all about the furrowed brow!

"Really for me it's about that quiet battle that goes on inside when you come up over the horizon line and suddenly there's this horde of deadlines coming towards you."'
