Live Sketch at the Computer History Museum

This digital sketch was created live at a fascinating panel discussion titled “To Infinity and Beyond: The Story of Pixar’s Stock Market Debut” that took place at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. I used an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and the Procreate app.

The panelists, from left to right, were:
Paul Noglows, Ex-Hambrecht & Quist; coauthor, forthcoming book on H&Q and Robertson Stephens;
Lawrence Levy, Former CFO, Pixar, author of “To Pixar And Beyond: My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History”;
Michael McCaffery, Former President & CEO, Robertson Stephens & Company; and
Cristina Morgan, Former Head of Technology Investment Banking, Hambrecht & Quist.

A recording of this wonderful discussion will be posted on the CHM Blog in the near future. You’ll also find on this blog a tribute to the 2018 CHM Fellow Dame Stephanie Shirley who I had the great pleasure to meet and draw her digital portrait at the Oxford Internet Institute in 2008.

Thank you to the panelists for a fascinating and personal insight into this amazing piece of Silicon Valley history. Thank you to the CHM and their great staff for organizing and hosting this event. The quote in the upper left of my sketch, “Steve was much more interested in getting to the right answer than being right”, was shared by Lawrence about his experiences traveling and working alongside Steve Jobs during the Pixar IPO.
