Step into Christian Bjone’s playful world of watercolor, rhyme, robots, friendship, and discovery.

Christian Bjone has been drawing stories for as long as he can remember. As a child, he filled pages with secret comic books and characters of his own creation. That early love of visual storytelling grew into a life shaped by drawing, design, architecture, writing, and illustration.

Meet Christian Bjone

Christian is a designer, illustrator, architect, and children’s author. Long before he designed buildings or published books, he drew and drew, making secret comics and story creations as a child. Architecture gave him new ways to think about line, space, structure, and the experience of moving through a world. Children’s books brought those interests together on the page.

The Zany Robots’ Costume Ball is Christian’s second children’s book for which he created both the writing and the illustrations. Drafted in ink and finished with watercolor, its lively pages reflect loving care, visual imagination, and what Christian describes as committed silliness.

Writing With Pictures

For Christian, words and images are not separate parts of a story. Rhythm moves the reader forward while color, character, and small visual surprises invite children to pause and look again. His books create room for laughter, questions, conversation, and discovery – especially when adults and children read together.

A Message for Young Creators

Christian hopes his books entertain young readers, but he also wants them to create. His invitation is direct: start drawing your own books now. Make a character. Invent a place. Write one line. Turn the page. A child’s first story does not have to be perfect; it only has to begin.
