Wine label and logo design for two exciting new Washington state wines from TOP SOURCE©. One is a Walla Walla Valley Syrah and the other a Columbia Valley red wine. I had the pleasure of tasting both of them, and they are just gorgeous.
Fun fact: With just over 1,000 wineries, 400+ grape growers, and 60,000+ acres of wine grapes, Washington State is the 2nd largest wine producing state in the U.S.

The Very First Google Doodles by Ian David Marsden
One of the incredibly interesting facts 😉 about my decades spanning artistic career, is that I am the very first Google Doodle artist.
Here is a link to a Wall Street journal article about the early days at Google, and how Susan Wojcicki (my boss back then) found me and hired me as the first google doodle creator: Wall Street Journal – Google The Beginning http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304911104576444363668512764.html
Gallery of all the Google Doodles I ever designed
The first Illustrations I made for Google, were shown on April Fool’s Day 2000. Google launched the amazing MentalPlex Technology where you could just think of what you were searching for and Google would find it. I created a little character and made some animated GIFs to explain how it worked.
See the instructions here:

My first ‘Google Doodle’ series was also the very first actual Google Doodle – namely the Alien abduction of the Google logo which happened in May 2000.

The third series of Google Doodles I designed were the Olympic Doodles for the Summer Olympics in Sydney – with the little ‘Kangaroodle” character design I made for the event. I have never received more fan mail than I did during the days these olympic google doodles were online. Hundreds of e-mails from all over the world. All of them positive and friendly.

26 Octobre 2016
Déjà à l’école, il croquait des dessins naïfs mais réalistes, qu’il offrait à ses camarades ou à ses proches. Puis, chemin faisant, sa passion s’est confirmée et a pris une place de plus en plus conséquente dans sa vie. À l’âge de 16 ans il réalise un dessin pour un journal satirique Suisse, il est le plus jeune artiste “Nebi”. Sa carrière fulgurante le conduit dans la Silicon Valley (partie sud de la région de la baie de San Francisco en Californie) chez Google. En 1999, il est le premier à dessiner pour le géant américain de l’Internet. Il y crée les petites histoires qui se déroulent autour du logo et qui s’appellent aujourd’hui “Google doodles”. Puis s’ensuivent des publications dans des journaux et magazines en Suisse et en Europe. Il a, malgré son jeune âge, la responsabilité de campagnes de publicité de grande ampleur.
En 2003, il est le concepteur de la mascotte officielle des FIS alpine ski des Championnats du monde à Saint-Moritz. Et en 2006, il s’installe à Vacquières où de son bureau, il travaille avec des clients du monde entier. Il réalise des bandes dessinées et des dessins animés pour la télévision. Il illustre également régulièrement des livres pour enfants et il lui arrive même de décorer des tasses, des bols et des récipients pour les “matous”. L’homme est un touche à tout. Et c’est dans son bureau qu’il trouve le mieux son inspiration. Papa poule, Ian David Marsden aime sentir la présence ses trois filles et de sa femme lorsqu’il conçoit ses illustrations. Elles sont pour lui un cheval de bataille, une véritable source de motivation et parfois d’inspiration.
