Swiss artist Jared Muralt doesn’t confine himself to fantasy in his exceptional Moleskines, but his Hunting for Giant Squids is a great example of his detailed style.
Muralt is a founder of the illustration and graphic design studio BlackYard, in Bern. Here are some other examples of his work, which usually tells a fascinating story.
These layouts are from Muralt’s Behance site, and from the sketch category of his website, here. Click on any image to get a larger view. There are also some great process shots on his Facebook, here.
Be sure to check out Muralt’s illustrations, equally compelling, such as these examples from his Behance.
In an interview with the Berlin-based blog, iGNANT, he identified TinTin as his childhood hero.

These drawings are so amazing and inspirational…
Very interesting! Love all the detail 🙂
You’re right that it’s the detail that makes these works so good.
Thank you for the awesome post. I’m always curious about what other modern artists like myself are interested in.
Glad you found it, welcome.
Love this!
Absolutely stunning! It´s just overflowing with imagination, I love it, please keep posting!
Very glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks. Please keep coming back!!
I will <3
I loved the designs! They reminded me of M.C. Escher’s sketches which I also saw on an agenda recently, not sure if it was Moleskine or not.
True about Escher, and these are equally absorbing. Different, though. Thanks for that comparison, interesting.

These are absolutely amazing! Love the detail but also the simplicity of line Muralt uses.
Thanks for the reblog, and I agree about the simplicity.
Excellent and decidedly gorgeous, great work by the artist. Those little Moleskines, especially with the solid black cover…what mysteries and delights they can hold.
I agree about the mysteries and delights of a sketchbook, why I love them. Thanks for taking the time to leave that thought.
He has an air of Moebius… excellent work..
That’s so true – thanks for the Moebius ref. Didn’t see it.
