Professor Shonku who?
Professor Shonku is a fictional scientist created by Satyajit Ray in a series of Bengali science fiction books published from 1965. His full name is Trilokeshwar Shonku, and by occupation, he is an inventor. His first adventure was published in 'Byomjatrir diary' (Bengali : ব্যোমযাত্রীর ডায়রি, The diary of a space traveler).

Art style
The illustrations are drawn in a very personal style in development since 2017.
It's inspired from 19th century Kalighat Patachitra(scroll painting) and Sora painting(clay discs), both of which originated in Bengal. For this particular illustration, I've also tried to pay homage to Ray's wacky and incredible
illustrations on Prof. Shonku.
