Comics, sketches and illustrations by Isaac Moylan.



One of the nice things about working with Erik Grove was that he let me have a lot of say in how the characters looked, to the extent that he would sometimes go back and change the characters personality based on my art (he made a character, the Constable, more 19th century English-y after seeing my designs.)

The thing I admired most about Chris Ware's sketchbooks is how much stuff he packed in there; so many different mediums, colors, subjects... Of course, he's not the only one to do this, he himself was influenced by Crumb, but that sketchbook had a big influence in how I approached my own offhand doodles. Before, they were full of half-finnished pinnups with occasional attempts at drawing backgrounds, now they are...this. Still not much color, and not that much crammed onto the page. But at least I'm saving money on paper.
