I get a lot of requests for clip-art or stock-art images.
Although I am not a big fan of clipart myself, as I find it preferable if custom made and created artwork is used wherever possible, I do recognize that for certain cases it is more efficient and obviously there is also a cost factor involved.
For this reason I have made a selection of my artwork available as stock art.
These images are available via Fotofinder, mauritius images GmbH, dpa Picture Alliance, picturemaxx and the Kleinert Bildarchiv which is one of the largest image archives for cartoons and comics.
One of the best places to have an overview of all of the available premium stock illustration art and stock clipart by Ian David Marsden is here: https://bildarchiv.kleinert.de

Je vous présente avec grand plaisir une série de vidéos que j’ai récemment produites pour un client basé en Allemagne. Le concept était de relayer l’histoire de la production de leurs champignons vitaux de très haute qualité, depuis leur origine dans les montagnes de Chine, en passant par le transport, le stockage, l’analyse approfondie en laboratoire et une production, l’encapsulation et l’emballage hautement supervisés.
J’ai eu le plaisir de dessiner d’abord les story-boards, puis de créer toutes les illustrations et de produire l’animation ainsi que de superviser les enregistrements de voix dans les studios à Berlin, Paris et au Royaume-Uni.
En tant qu’orateur et voix française de la série, nous avons sélectionné l’acteur Daniel Beretta connu des cinéphiles en France comme la voix d’Arnold Schwarzenegger, musicien et auteur de chansons pour Mireille Mathieu, et Nino Ferrer, notamment La Rua Madureira.
Comme toujours avec des vidéos explicatives, il était important de présenter des processus qui peuvent sembler un peu secs et techniques d’une manière légère, intéressante et divertissante. Il est très avantageux pour une entreprise d’avoir une bibliothèque de vidéos de ce genre. Non seulement les visiteurs de leurs sites Web et des médias sociaux peuvent en savoir plus sur le produit d’une manière personnelle et claire, mais le travail de leur personnel de vente est également grandement facilité par le fait de ne pas avoir à répéter tous ces détails minutieux encore et encore.
Lors des salons et foires commerciales, les vidéos peuvent être projetées et affichées sur des bornes interactifs contenant des écrans tactiles iPad. Les vidéos ont été produites en trois langues : Français, Anglais et Allemand.
J’espère que ces présentations vont vous plaire et je serais ravi de vous parler de la création de vidéos sur mesure pour votre produit ou votre entreprise.
I have just put together a collection of items in my Red Bubble shop featuring some of my artwork and drawings that people often ask me about.
(Like the baguette girl, the Fez Man etc.)
You can get all kinds of items from phone cases to framed prints, t-shirts, post cards, stickers, posters, throw pillows and even clocks and bedding.
I hope you enjoy the selection.
Send me a snapshot or tag me on instagram if you buy something, I would love to see what you got and where you placed it.
I will share some of the images in my blog and my social media as well.
Friar’s Club – Monk Character Design and Animated GIFs Champagne Juggling Monk
In 2012 I had the distinct honor of being asked by the legendary New York Friar’s Club, to create a cartoon character version of the club’s signature monk and a series of cartoons and animations for the official Friar’s Club website.
The briefing required animations and graphics featuring the monk in all kinds of different situations and poses to be placed on the homepage and also some special custom monks featuring caricatured faces of recognizable “brothers”.
Even the furniture such as the wooden bar and the pool table at which the Jackie Gleason monk is playing had to be recognizable.
As a previous member of the National Cartoonists Society, I had the pleasure of attending several Christmas brunches at the Los Angeles branch of the club, so it was a particular pleasure to be able to contribute to the Friar’s cause.
IMPORTANT! Some of these GIFs are showing weird boxy flashing animation on some displays which are NOT there in the original.
The original GIFs play nice and smoothly – you can see them by clicking on each image or by downloading them to your computer.
(This must be some kind of WordPress Bug. Sorry I can’t get rid of it here. If you know what settings I need to change, please contact me.)
Whiteboard Explainer Video elements storyboarded, illustrated and produced by Marsden Illustration www.marsdenillustration.com
Client: Max Curious, New York City
for “All Stars Project”
2016
We custom conceptualize, storyboard, illustrate and produce motion graphics and whiteboard and explainer videos for clients in Europe and the United States.
We speak English, German and French but videos can be produced in any language required.
It was on December 2nd, 1998 (almost 20 years ago!) that I started my first website “Marsdencartoons.com”.
It evolved over many iterations, and later for several years it also hosted the Marsdencartoons Cartoonist’s Directory which was a popular resource to find links to illustrators and cartoonists all over the world.
Since I don’t only draw cartoons but also create more “serious” illustrations and logos and character designs for various clients all over the world, I decided in 2014 to create my new homepage MARSDEN ILLUSTRATION, which you see before you and which embodies all the various facets of my work in my PORTFOLIO
For a few years it autoforwarded to my new domain, but a few months ago I let the old marsdencartoons.com domain name expire. A fresh new start.
It appears that another company has purchased the domain name marsdencartoons.com and is now putting up a website for Illustration and Graphics.
This is of course perfectly fine and quite normal I guess by Internet standards, although it would be interesting to know who the “Marsden” is who is featured in their domain name. Because one thing I can tell you is that it is NOT me.
For the record, I wanted to state categorically: that I, Ian David Marsden, am no longer the owner of the domain marsdencartoons.com, I am in no way involved in their enterprise, and am not affiliated anymore in any way with marsdencartoons.com. Any transactions with this domain will not include any involvement with me and you will not be purchasing artwork created by me.
If you wish to contact me (Ian David Marsden) regarding graphic design, illustrations or cartoons, then the only official website is this one: www.marsdenillustration.com
Thank you for your continued interest in my artwork and more from my studio very soon.
All the best,
Ian
