A very fun recent assignment was to design a series of wine labels (red, white and rosé) featuring scenes from in and around the O Mas Troquet restaurant and Friday street market in 34270 Vacquières, France (Pic St Loup Region, Hérault, Languedoc) and also a label for their custom made flavoured rums.
The concept is that when all the bottles are placed next to each other, they depict the local ambience inside and outside and you almost have a continuous story or panorama.

Logo Design for Les Héritières de Bacchus by Ian David Marsden
<< Trois frères Loup, Guiral et Clair, tous amoureux de la belle Bertrade, partirent en croisade sans savoir lequel d’entre eux elle choisirait comme époux. Au retour de Terre sainte, la bien-aimée avait trépassé. Désespérés, ils décidèrent de vivre en ermites au sommet de trois pitons voisins. Celui sur lequel vivait Guiral devint le mont Saint-Guiral. Il est situé près du mont Aigoual . Celui sur lequel vivait Clair fut nommé le mont Saint-Clair ( c’est à ses pieds qu’est bâtie la ville de Sète). Installé sur le Pic auquel il donnera son nom, Thieri Loup mourut le dernier. Comme ses deux frères, il avait allumé tous les 19 mars de sa vie un feu en la mémoire de sa bien aimée.>>
Pour fêter la Belle Beltrade, nous organiserons, tous les ans au printemps, une journée où les femmes seront mises à l’honneur

The few months since my last update have been highly active and interesting.
I have had the pleasure of welcoming several new clients and collaborating, drawing and generally being creative on many fun new projects.
Here are a few brief highlights of what I have been up to.
PUBLISHING
I welcomed Richmond Publishing / Santillana as new clients and had the wonderful opportunity of creating a series of illustrations for educational materials.
I am very pleased to announce that I have added a 6th object bearing the Marsden signature to the Design Collection for renowned German glasswork manufacturer RITZENHOFF
My latest creation is a 50 clBeer Glassfeaturing a little Viking Character who appears to be quite ready for action (or at least ready for another refreshing pint).
Another new client I had the pleasure of welcoming is digades.
I was entrusted with the task of creating a series of illustrations for print ads and posters showing the efficiency and ease of use of their new dfreeeze app, with which you can remote control your car heater from your smart phone.
I also produced 2 Whiteboard Scribing videos in English and in German for the dfreeze product using the same characters and illustrations. (see below)
WHITEBOARD VIDEOS
English and German Language Whiteboard Scribing Explainer Video produced for digades and their dfreeeze app explain the dfreeeze app and how it works in a playful yet elegant way.
I had a lot of fun with this recent assignment for GMX.net, for which I was invited to design a series of animated GIF Greeting cards for various occasions such as Halloween, Christmas and the New Year.
Last but not least I was able to complete some personal projects and I created and uploaded some new tutorial videos for my own personal YouTube channel.
In this latest series of videos I show how I draw on my Wacom Cintiq pen display, which has become an invaluable tool for me, in Adobe Illustrator software.
