“Ike” Isaac Crawford was born in 1985 in Oregon, but his family quickly moved to Springfield, MO, where he continues to live and raise his two children. He was a pastor’s child, obsessed with drawing and playing music. He earned a Bachelor’s in Electronic Arts and what he learned around film and animation has become very useful in his art and storytelling. He went on to pursue a Master’s degree and become a counselor. He loves doing therapy and finds it enriches his creativity. He began seriously creating comics in 2015 and has almost exclusively worked on his own creations, where he writes, illustrates, colors, and letters the books.
