This is my ComicCon badge from 2003. (Can it really be five years ago already??)

I attended the convention with 2 very good friends and we had a great time. There were so many interesting people to see and meet. Stan Lee was there - very cool to meet him, albeit it very briefly. Another thing that sticks to mind was Dan Piraro’s (Bizarro) one-man show. Great fun even though there were some technical difficulties. He’s a very funny guy.
I had met him previously at an NCS event where he also did his shtick on stage and MCd the Reuben Awards ceremony.
After the convention we made sure we haunted the irish pubs of the Gaslamp district in a befitting fashion as well.

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.
