My first job

Ballo magicoI found this file on my computer today, and when I think about it, this was one of my first paid illustration jobs ever. It was in 1994, many years before I became a professional illustrator. This hunchback rabbit was the poster and flyer header for the marketing campaign of Polyball, a huge, annual theme party organized by the engineering students in Zurich, Switzerland. The posters were printed in A0 format and were exposed all over the city, in the tramway, etc. Back in the days they managed to print those posters from a huge file of some 8 megabytes, which I remember left the poor little Mac I worked on churning forever between each operation.

(Ok ok, I know it’s not fair to make fun of old computers.)
