Cartoon and Comic Art
Hello, I’m Ian David Marsden, a cartoonist and comic artist with over 30 years of experience in the industry. I have created a wide range of cartoons and comic strips for various publications and uses, including international magazines and newspapers such as The New Yorker, MAD Magazine, Nebelspalter, NZZ am Sonntag, and more.
My portfolio also includes character designs, mascots, business comics, and custom-made comic strips for many clients worldwide. I specialize in adding a fun and visually engaging element to topics that might otherwise be a little on the dry side.
I’m thrilled to share a selection of my work with you on this page. I hope you enjoy browsing through my collection of cartoons and comic art. You might also enjoy my sketchbook.
