Dan McCaw

Dan McCaw was raised in the Irish mining city of Butte, Montana. This wild, colorful city with its romantic past was a great catalyst for stirring the artistic fires of this young artist. He was drawn to art at an early age, and further encouraged by a persuasive mother who seemed to know that toon meer Dan's abilities were more than just the passing interest of youth. However, art classes were non-existent in his community, so his development was left to his own imagination and creativity. Eventually, Dan was accepted into and attended the San Francisco Academy of Art, where he studied for two years. He moved his family to Los Angeles where he worked as an illustrator for a design studio. This gave him the opportunity to attend the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. After nine semesters, Dan was asked to become an instructor, and he went on to teach there part-time for 17 years toon minder
