Stefan Strasser

Stefan lives behind a drawing table in Vienna, Austria. With his nose about five inches from the paper and surrounded by hundreds of pens, sheets of paper and empty coffee cups, he would give uninformed onlookers the impression of a man with an obsessive-compulsive disorder of having to draw thousands of little chickens. In a way it’s not too far from the truth, because he makes his living as a comic artist, with Chicken Wings being the most important of his projects.

He never went to art school, but rather got himself something one could call a "decend education" (a masters degree in international trade). Just like his brother, he has inherited his parents’ "traveling bug" and so his studies brought him to Tokyo, Japan, where he spent more than two years in total, ate a lot of Sushi during that time and received several scholarships to study at Keio University and Tokyo University. After that he decided to become a freelancing illustrator and designer, lest he would have to find a real job.
