Footballheroes See Red - 10 more days!

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

The Footballheroes See Red books have been printed and are on their way to bookstores all over Europe.

There will be an exhibition and launch party in Zürich, the date and details yet to be announced but in all likelyhood I will be present.

In the meantime lots of new information and fantastic artwork can be seen at:

Here is a first glimpse at some of the players from the three teams I illustrated:

‘Isn’t it strange - every time some guy goes apeshit in the subway, latrer he is described as perfectly normal and unnoteworthy?”, originally uploaded by marsdencartoons.

I have just added a whole bunch of cartoons and illustrations to my Flickr Stream. Starting today I will keep updating my Flickr sets on a regular basis.

Several people have sent me e-mails that they wished they could download some of the cartoons from my website. Right now you can’t really do that as they are embedded in Flash (unless you take a framegrab).

But now you can. From Flickr!

Humorous Children’s Book and Science Fiction illustration by Ian Marsden

This is an unpublished self-promotional humorous children’s book and science fiction illustration featuring Bombo the Bear, Chester the Butler and their time travelling friends.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).
