“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 a career as a counselor. He loves doing therapy and likes to think being with people in that way enriches his perspective and creative vision. He began seriously creating comics in 2015 and has almost exclusively worked on his own creations. He continues to create art and comics and to find a balance between work, family, and art.
