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”.

The animations were to play as animated GIFs with a transparent background that could be placed throughout the Friar’s Club website.

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 (NCS), 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.

I created several more animations, not all are shown here.

Die 2 Monate seit meinem letzten Newsletter waren Ã¤usserst interessant und aktiv.

Ich hatte das grosse VergnÃ¼gen mehrere neue Kunden begrÃ¼ssen zu dÃ¼rfen und an diversen spannenden Projekten sowohl als Zeichner, wie auch mit Ideen und KreativitÃ¤t beteiligt zu sein.

Hier sind einige ausgewÃ¤hlte HÃ¶hepunkte aus den letzten Wochen.

VERLAGE

Ich freue mich Richmond / Santillana als neuen Kunden zu begrÃ¼ssen. Ich hatte die Gelegenheit eine Serie von Illustrationen fÃ¼r Lehrmittel zu zeichnen.

KLICKEN SIE HIER um sich mein gesamtes Portfolio anzusehen.

DESIGN & LIZENZEN

Mit grosser Freude darf ich ankÃ¼ndigen, dass ich ein sechstes Objekt mit der Unterschrift ‘Marsden‘ zur Design Kollektion von RITZENHOFF hinzufÃ¼gen durfte. RITZENHOFF ist einer der fÃ¼hrenden deutschen Produzenten fÃ¼r TrinkglÃ¤ser.

Diesmal handelt es sich um ein Weizenbierglas mit Bierdeckeln mit einem lustigen kleinen Wikinger.

WERBUNG

Ein weiterer Neukunde Ã¼ber den ich mich sehr freue, ist digades.

FÃ¼r eine tolle neue App die sich dfreeeze nennt, wurde ich beauftragt eine Serie von Illustrationen fÃ¼r Printwerbung und Plakate zu entwerfen. Mit dfreeeze kann man vom Smartphone aus die Standheizung im Auto fernsteuern.

https://www.dfreeeze.de/winter

Parallel zu den Printmedien wurden auch 2 Explainer Videos / Whiteboard Scribing Videos von mir produziert. Eines auf Englisch und eines auf Deutsch.

WHITEBOARD VIDEOS

Whiteboard EklÃ¤rvideos zur Werbekampagne die oben unter “Werbung” bereits erwÃ¤hnt wurde.

Je ein Englisches und ein Deutsches Whiteboard Scribing Explainer Video fÃ¼r den Kunden digades und ihre dfreeeze App produziert. Auf eine verspielte aber doch elegante Art wird erklÃ¤rt wie die App funktioniert.

WEB UND INTERAKTIV

Ein Projekt, wo es darum ging fÃ¼r GMX.net eine Reihe von animierten GIF Grusskarten zu entwerfen, hat sehr viel Spass gemacht. Die Sujets waren ‘Halloween‘, ‘Weihnachten‘ und ‘Silvester‘.

https://navigator.gmx.net/
(Sie brauchen ein GMX Benutzerkonto um die Karten zu sehen und zu verschicken)

PERSÃ–NLICHE PROJEKTE

Zu guter Letzt bin ich endlich auch wieder einmal dazu gekommen, in eigener Sache einige Tutorial Videos aufzunehmen, und auf meinen eigenen YouTube Kanal hochzuladen.

https://www.youtube.com/user/idmars10

In dieser neuen Serie von Videos zeige ich wie ich auf meinem Wacom Cintiq Zeichendisplay in Adobe Illustrator Software zeichne und illustriere.

Es gibt Videos wo ich Vektor Cartoon Illustrationen fÃ¼r Halloween zeichne. Es gibt einen Halloween KÃ¼rbis, eine Hexe oder Vampirlady und einen Werwolf .

In einem weiteren Video zeige ich wie ich einen Vektor Weihnachtsmann koloriere.

In den Videos spreche ich leider Englisch, aber ich denke fÃ¼r Leute die sich mit der Software auskennen ist es vielleicht trotzdem interessant meinem Arbeits-Prozess zu folgen.

Hiermit kommen wir zum Ende dieses neuesten Newsletter. Ich bedanke mich sehr fÃ¼r Ihr Interesse.

Ich bin ein unabhÃ¤ngiger und freischaffender Illustrator, Designer und Animator und ich bin fÃ¼r neue Projekte sehr gerne verfÃ¼gbar.

Meine Homepage mit meinem Portfolio befindet sich hier:
http://marsdenillustration.com

Trotz meines englischen Namen und dem amerikanischem Slang in den Videos, spreche ich auch Deutsch und SchwiizerdÃ¼tsch und ich freue mich von Ihnen zu hÃ¶ren. 🙂

Ich habe auch eine Artist Page auf Facebook unter meinem Namen: Ian David Marsden
Es wÃ¼rde mich natÃ¼rlich freuen, wenn Sie mich “LIKEN” wÃ¼rden.

Mit besten GrÃ¼ssen,

The few months since my last update have been highly active and interesting.

DESIGN & LICENSING

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 cl Beer Glass featuring a little Viking Character who appears to be quite ready for action (or at least ready for another refreshing pint).

ADVERTISING

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.

https://www.dfreeeze.de/winter

I also produced 2 Whiteboard Scribing videos in English and in German for the dfreeze product using the same characters and illustrations. (see below)

PERSONAL PROJECTS

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.

https://www.youtube.com/user/idmars10

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.

I demonstrate how I create vector line art for various Halloween characters such as a Jack-O-Lantern, a Witch/Vampire Lady and a Werewolf. In a separate video I also show how I color a cartoon illustration of Santa Claus.

Well that about wraps up this little news update. Thank you for your interest.
