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This is an unpublished self-promotional humorous children’s book and science fiction illustration featuring Bombo the Bear, Chester the Butler and their time travelling friends.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