Valentine’s Day cartoon graphic for E-mail or Myspace or Facebook by Ian MarsdenHumorous Children’s Book and Science Fiction illustration by Ian Marsden
Monday, January 28th, 2008
This is an unpublished self-promotional humorous children’s book and science fiction illustration featuring Bombo the Bear, Chester the Butler and their time travelling friends.
In the 1980s I wrote and illustrated several episodes of ‘Idi and Bombo’ about Bombo the Bear and Idi the bird for Swiss Television DRS (Fernsehen DRS). Later I had a regular full page color ‘Bombo’ comic in the Sonntagsblick Newspaper.
It was rendered in pen and ink, colored pencils and watercolors. (only the sky gradient is digitally created).

Sunday, January 20th, 2008From the Marsden Archive:
This golf cartoon was originally in color, this is the only reproduction I still have.
It was created using a pen and ink and gouache on D’Arches watercolor paper.
It depicts a bunch of highly distrustful birds who have ganged up on a poor golfer somewhere in Scotland. Their suspicion seems to be that it is not a golf ball at all but rather an egg he might be playing with.
It was published in the Swiss Nebelspalter magazine in 1991 and was exhibited at the
4th International Cartoon Biennale in Davos, Switzerland
(22. July – 22. August 1992 Kongresszentrum Davos)
The original was purchased at the Cartoon Biennale Davos by well-known Swiss media personality, actor, comedian, writer, producer Hansjörg Bahl and is in his personal collection.

I created most of the masks in Illustrator before I started painting in Photoshop.
While I was working on this piece, I thought back to the days when I would have had to cut each mask out of Friskfilm, wait for the layers to dry, and constantly wash out my airbrushes to make sure that the colors didn’t mix. I still have several of my old airbrushes in my studio, but they are purely ornamental at this point. I love Photoshop! Who would have thought back then that one day you could do the same job, without a mask, compressor, paint, brushes, mess, and ripping your hair out if you made a mistake or if your original got lost or damaged.
