His bold illustrations and colors used in various shapes and sizes emphasized his drawings in a dramatic way, rather than limiting their natural scope, so widely incorporated by other illustrators. Morgan was commissioned often for his paintings, theatrical posters and magazine covers. Ike was married to Mrs. Pauline H. Swain Morgan. According to Denslow’s biography it was Denslow who had hosted Morgan's wedding reception while his former roommate Paul Tietjans performed some of the music.[2] Apart from Baum and Oz, Morgan illustrated other books, works like Tales from Longfellow and several books by Grace Duffie Boylan.
