I’m inspired by a lot of graphic novel type illustration at the moment. There’s some really great stuff out there and it’s really evolving as an Art form. I guess the thing with traditional hand-drawn illustration and art is, it can’t really be updated or manipulated in the same way that digitally created work can be. 
I, too, have just developed an interest in the graphic novels. . . the comic memoirist . . . ways to tell my own story in my journals. Looking forward to reading more on this.
