Step Inside Marsden’s Art House: A New YouTube Space for Artists
Where Creativity Lives!
Every great work of art begins with a single line. And every artist needs a space to explore, experiment, and grow. That’s why I’m excited to invite you to Marsden’s Art House, my brand-new YouTube channel—your creative studio away from home.
Here, you’ll find:
• Thoughtfully crafted step-by-step tutorials on sketching, inking, and digital art that break complex techniques into approachable methods.
• Behind-the-scenes insights into how I structure my graphic novels, from storyboarding in Clip Studio Paint to polishing pages in Photoshop and Illustrator.
I am frequently consulted by my clients to assist with marketing and advertising projects, with concepts and ideas, layouts and graphic design suggestions as well as of course drawings and illustration elements.
AN2V, the Association Nationale de la Vidéoprotection approached me for a very interesting project. Founded in 2004 by Dominique LEGRAND, this remarkable association was established to address the growing need for the exchange of experiences in the field of security technology. At the time, video surveillance, which we now call videoprotection, lacked structure, and many users were grappling with the challenges of deployment.
What sets AN2V apart is its unique combination of “demand” from both public and private users, along with companies offering products and services in the realm of security technologies. AN2V is truly one of a kind, and I was privileged to collaborate with them.
AN2V presented me with an exciting challenge – to create three distinctive, large-scale Kakémono display banners, each measuring 2.10 meters by 0.85 meters. These banners were designed to represent three key facets of AN2V’s activities: training, the association itself, and the universities they organize.

Hello, fellow design enthusiasts and crepe and galette lovers! It’s Ian David Marsden once again, taking you on another delightful journey through the design process of one of my favorite projects: the logo for “La Normande Dine”.
When you think of Montpellier and the Pic St Loup region, it’s easy to get lost in the visual design choices between modern French Tech and old-world charm. Diving deeper into the essence of “La Normande Dine”, what truly added depth and flavor to this design venture was the authenticity at its core. The crepes and galettes aren’t just inspired by Normandy – they are the real deal, genuine Normandy delights.

Various Designs for John Hennigan by Ian David Marsden
I had the pleasure of creating another cool wrestling shirt design for the legendary wrestler John Hennigan, who is also known as Johnny Impact, Johnny Nitro, Johnny Mundo, and most recently as the mayor of SLAMTOWN. This time around, the shirt design is titled “SLAMTOWN Office of Mayor”, featuring a striking illustration of a skull and crossbones, adorned with Johnny’s trademark sunglasses with crosses on the lenses.
Creating this shirt design for John was an amazing experience. He is one of the easiest and most amazing clients I have ever had the pleasure of working for. He trusts my creativity and lets me use my imagination, allowing me to create designs that truly capture his essence as a wrestler and entertainer.
John Hennigan is a true wrestling legend, with a career spanning over two decades. He has won numerous championships across different wrestling promotions, including WWE, Impact Wrestling, and Lucha Underground. He has also ventured into acting, appearing in movies and TV shows such as “Boone: The Bounty Hunter” and “Survivor”.
This is not the first time I’ve worked with John. In fact, I previously designed a wrestling shirt for him titled “This is My World” featuring his Johnny Mundo persona. It was a fun and challenging project that allowed me to push my creative limits and come up with a design that captured John’s persona perfectly.

If you’re a fan of John Hennigan or wrestling in general, make sure to check out this shirt and add it to your collection.
