IJsbrand Oost is a Dutch application manager, who works as a comic artist and illustrator on the side. In the mid-1990s, he made a comic strip for Wartaal, the magazine of Het Stripschap.

Oost is inspired by the Clear Line style of Henk Kuijpers, which can be seen in his adventure strip 'Max Miller', which first appeared in Eppo in 2009. After a short story and a longer story called 'Moordkunsten', Oost started working with Frank Jonker for new scripts.
In 2020, he joined 75 Dutch & Flemish comic artists to make a graphic contribution to 'Striphelden versus Corona' (Oogachtend/Uitgeverij L, 2020), a free collective comic book intended to support comic stores that had to close their doors during the lockdown at the height of the COVID-19 virus pandemic.
