McQUE Ian

Originally from Sunderland in the North East of England, Ian McQue has been sketching and scribbling his entire life. His work is bound into the fabric of modern culture, having spent more than twenty years as a concept artist and art director producing the iconic imagery for the world-bestriding Grand Theft Auto games at Edinburgh's Rockstar North.

More recently, McQue has consulted for major video game and movie studios, loaning his visual design talents to Solo: A Star Wars Story, the Mortal Engines movie, as well as the hugely successful Spiderverse movies. McQue has produced covers for twenty published novels, including those for the highly regarded Mortal Engines series by Philip Reeve. He has also designed and shipped five softback sketchbooks and full colour prints of his work for over a decade, to thousands of satisfied customers.

He lives in East Lothian, near the city of Edinburgh.
