Farbige Illustration für die Neue Zürcher Zeitung am Sonntag zum Artikel ‘Der Kampf um die Publikation’ von Ian D. Marsden
Bleistiftskizzen der Roboter in meinem Moleskine Skizzenbuch. Preperatory pencil sketches of the robots in my Moleskine sketchbook.
Hier ist die Illustration in Adobe Illustrator bereits ausgelegt. Das Layout wird festgelegt - der rote Rahmen zeigt den Ausschnitt wie die Zeichnung schlussendlich in der NZZ gedruckt werden wird. Die beiden Forscher sind bereits als Linienzeichnung fertig aber die Roboter existieren nur als Scribbles - bis ich mit meinen Bleistiftstudien zufrieden bin. Ich bin ein grosser Fan von Robotern also wollte ich ein paar ganz schöne ‘klassische’ Roboter entwerfen. This is the Layout stage in Adobe Illustrator. The two scientists have completed line-art but aren’t colored yet. The robots are only scribbles - I was waiting for approval from the editors and also still creating pencil sketches of the robots. I am a big fan of robots so I wanted to create some really nice, retro-style robots.
Die fertige Illustration - erstellt in Adobe Illustrator CS3. Erschienen in der NZZ am Sonntag am 6 Juli 2008. The finished illustration created in Adobe Illustrator published in NZZ on Sunday July 6th 2008.

It’s been a while since I posted some scans from one of my lovely Moleskine sketchbooks.
Here is a recent double-page with completely pointless and absolutely not topic-related cartoons and doodles.

When I am on the phone I am almost always doodling. Sometimes it’s just cubes and geometric 3D shapes, sometimes it’s plants growing all over the page and sometimes I just start a drawing without thinking. I have no idea what it’s going to end up being until I hang up the phone….
This example demonstrates this habit quite nicely:
