In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the necessity for engaging, dynamic content is paramount. As attention spans contract, the ability to swiftly capture and sustain viewer engagement is vital. Moving visuals, especially hand-drawn videos, shine as invaluable assets in this domain. Their charm and animated nature don’t just convey your message; they make it memorable.
Whiteboard or Explainer Videos blend simplicity with creativity, masterfully transforming complex topics into digestible and captivating narratives. With over two decades of expertise in illustration, character design, and cartooning, I infuse every video with a distinct, refined touch.
Our partnership kicks off with a comprehensive briefing, allowing me to deeply understand your aspirations and objectives. Scripting and storyboarding follow, laying down the visual and narrative blueprint. I pride myself on my commitment to authenticity and originality. The videos I craft avoid the trappings of generic templates and characters, opting instead for custom illustrations that harmonize with your brand and its message.
In a market saturated with providers leveraging software, pre-loaded drawings, and templated assets, many videos risk looking indistinguishably similar, potentially exuding an air of uninspired mass production. My approach contrasts sharply. Every creation is genuinely hand-drawn, custom-tailored, and deeply attuned to your brand’s ethos. The styles you might have enjoyed in my portfolio? All are at your disposal, from monochromatic sketches to vivid, full-color masterpieces.
Yet, quality doesn’t necessitate extravagance. Despite offering expert craftsmanship and bespoke content, my rates are surprisingly competitive. The proposition is clear: top-tier quality without the top-tier price. Each collaboration is structured with transparent, flat-rate estimates from conception to completion, ensuring you can plan without the stress of unforeseen costs. Defined milestones keep the project on track and punctual.
Your message deserves prominence. Should you be seeking an authentic, captivating narrative, whether for product showcases, service introductions, or business processes, I am poised to deliver. Reach out, let’s discuss a no-commitment offer, and embark on a journey to make your content distinct, engaging, and memorable.
Thank you for considering a collaboration. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with the pro wrestler Johnny Mundo, also known as John Morrison, to create a unique front and back shirt design for his wrestling persona. Johnny is a former WWE Intercontinental Champion, ECW World Tag Team Champion, and Lucha Underground Champion, among other accolades.
The first design features Johnny Mundo as a muscular character, carrying the whole world globe on his shoulders, much like Hercules. The second design showcases his trademark glasses and long hair, along with the slogan “This is My World,” which cleverly plays off his ring name “Mundo.”
As an illustrator and hand-drawn video producer, I specialize in creating original, hand-drawn designs that capture the essence of my clients’ brands and personalities. Johnny’s dynamic wrestling persona was the perfect inspiration for these two unique and eye-catching designs.
I worked closely with Johnny to ensure that the illustrations reflected his wrestling style, signature moves, and attitude. The front and back designs are perfect for any wrestling fan looking to show their support for Johnny and his exciting wrestling career.
If you are a wrestling fan or just looking for some new workout gear, be sure to check out Johnny Mundo’s merch store to get your hands on these one-of-a-kind designs. And if you are in need of custom illustration or design work for your own brand or business, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. I am always excited to work on new projects and bring my clients’ visions to life.

The Toyes – Website Illustrations and animated music video for “Smoke 2 Joints” Character Design, Cartoon Illustrations of the Band Members, Illustrations and Flash Animation By Ian David Marsden It was a great pleasure for me to create illustrated cartoon versions of the band members of The Toyes as well as designing a whole bunch of other fun characters such as smoking and dancing trees and several aliens in their UFOs for the animated music video for the classic Toyes Song “Smoke 2 Joints”
Still Frame from the video “Smoke 2 Joints” by The Toyes illustrated and animated by Ian David Marsden – www.marsdenillustration.com
Watch scenes from the music video and how I work inside Adobe Flash software:
I also created a whole series of illustrations for the official website of The Toyes: http://www.thetoyes.com which were also really fun to create. There is an illustration or character for each of the song titles on their latest album.
