Du sollst nicht rasen

Als regelmäßiger Illustrator für die renommierte Schweizer Zeitung NZZ am Sonntag hatte ich kürzlich die Gelegenheit, eine Illustration zu einem Artikel mit dem Titel “Du sollst nicht rasen” zu zeichnen. In der Illustration ist ein Mann zu sehen, der Auto fährt, während ein Roboter im Retro-Stil auf dem Rücksitz sitzt und akribisch jede Bewegung aufzeichnet. Der Stil der Illustration ist hell, sauber und einladend, um den Artikel zu unterstreichen.

Ich finde es immer spannend, meine kreativen Fähigkeiten auf die Herausforderungen der journalistischen Welt anzuwenden und eine visuelle Interpretation eines Textes zu schaffen. Ich bin stolz darauf, Teil des Teams von NZZ am Sonntag zu sein und freue mich darauf, in Zukunft weitere Artikel zu illustrieren.

For over three decades, I’ve had the pleasure of working as a professional cartoonist and comic artist, creating artwork for well-known publications such as The New Yorker, MAD Magazine, Nebelspalter, and NZZ am Sonntag. My work spans a variety of genres, from graphic novels to custom business comics, designed to captivate audiences and deliver memorable messages. As a professional cartoonist, Ian David Marsden specializes in delivering high-quality cartoon illustrations for publications as well as custom business comics for commercial projects.

Beyond print, I’ve worked on projects ranging from children’s television and books to advertising campaigns. One of my most unique projects involved illustrating a recycling-themed comic series printed on Coca-Cola cans. These types of projects showcase my versatility as a professional cartoonist.

A key area of expertise for me is custom business comics, where I design characters and stories tailored to companies or products. These personalized comics add a unique touch, making the content more engaging and relatable to specific audiences.

In 2020, I achieved a personal milestone with the publication of my first graphic novel by Schiffer Publishing in the United States, marking a significant moment in my career as a comic artist.

Editorial illustration requires both creativity and a deep understanding of the content. I create impactful illustrations for magazines, newspapers, and educational publishers to enhance storytelling and reader engagement. Each editorial illustration starts with an in-depth understanding of the text, ensuring that the artwork aligns seamlessly with the publication’s message and purpose.

Alongside traditional magazine illustration, I collaborate with educational publishers across Germany, Switzerland, and other regions to produce visuals for textbooks, training books, and online educational videos. These illustrations are designed to enrich learning materials, making complex topics more accessible and engaging for readers. Whether for editorial articles or educational content, my goal is to create illustrations that support comprehension and inspire curiosity.

Ian David Marsden, un illustrateur désigner très talentueux (Article Midi Libre)

Ian David Marsden, un illustrateur désigner très talentueux

Ian travaille avec les plus grands publicitaires du monde.

Ian David Marsden est un homme à l’imagination débordante. Et ce dernier poursuit son ascension. Aujourd’hui, les grands publicitaires font appel à lui, comme Métro, Wacom NZZ am sontag, etc… Depuis sa plus tendre enfance (Il est né à New York mais a fait ses études en Suisse), Ian a de la magie au bout des doigts, magie qu’il a cultivée avec passion et une âme d’enfant.

Article Midi Libre en ligne > LIEN
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.
