Welcome! I’m Ian David Marsden, an illustrator, cartoonist, and designer with a lifelong passion for hand-drawn art. I have just opened an online art print gallery, Modicum Editions, where you can directly and exclusively order high-quality prints of my artwork. Every piece available in my gallery is carefully curated and professionally printed to ensure vivid colors, exceptional detail, and lasting quality.

My prints are designed for people who appreciate: ✔ Art that makes a statement without shouting ✔ Intelligent humor & refined design ✔ Thoughtful, conversation-starting illustrations

My work blends nostalgia with modern relevance, drawing inspiration from classic illustration, mid-century travel posters, and timeless satirical art. Every piece I create is meant to spark thought, invite humor, and bring character to any space—whether it’s a bookstore, café, creative studio, or your favorite reading nook at home.

Why Modicum Editions?

The word “modicum” signifies something small yet profoundly important—a modest amount that makes all the difference. I chose “Modicum” to reflect my belief that we should always maintain at least a modicum of respect, self-reflection, humility, and wit as we navigate the world.

At Modicum Editions, you’ll find exclusive, high-quality prints—each one personally designed and hand-drawn or digitally painted by me.

Crafted for Quality, Designed to Last

Great art deserves great materials. That’s why all my prints are professionally produced using high-quality, eco-friendly materials, ensuring they last for years to come.

Illustrateur et dessinateur installé près du Pic Saint Loup

Je suis illustrateur et dessinateur freelance basé à Claret (34270), un village viticole proche de Montpellier, dans la région du Pic Saint Loup. Depuis près de 20 ans, je m’inspire des paysages et de la vie quotidienne de cette région qui m’a profondément marqué. À travers mes illustrations, je cherche à capturer la convivialité et le charme unique de cet endroit que je suis heureux de pouvoir appeler chez moi.

Mon approche artistique

Originaire de Los Angeles, j’ai découvert ici un rythme de vie différent, empreint de chaleur humaine et de simplicité. Mon travail, mêlant dessins faits à la main et aquarelle, s’adapte à une grande variété de projets : de l’illustration éditoriale à la publicité, en passant par les bandes dessinées et les livres pour enfants.
