Interview with Dyna Moe

How did you start creating the Mad Men illustrations?

Rich Sommer, who plays "Harry Crane," and I were both members of the comedy community centered around the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York. Once the first season of Mad Men started airing, I got back in touch to tell him how much I enjoyed the show and we emailed back and forth for a little bit—me asking nitpicky insider questions and him graciously answering them (there's a lot of downtime on a set, I guess).
