High Quality Art Prints of the art of Ian David Marsden
Hand-Drawn Art with Wit, Elegance & Personality
Welcome! I’m Ian David Marsden, an illustrator, cartoonist, and designer with a lifelong passion for hand-drawn art. If you appreciate witty, intelligent critique, a touch of rebellion, and a refined, old-world aesthetic, you’re in the right place.
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.
My prints are designed for people who appreciate:
✔ Art that makes a statement without shouting
✔ Intelligent humor & refined design
✔ Thoughtful, conversation-starting illustrations
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.
What I Believe
Art, literature, humor, and the ability to coexist with understanding and grace aren’t just luxuries—they’re essential. I see the world drifting away from the ideals of the Enlightenment—the “Lumières,” as we call them in France—toward a seemingly voluntary retreat into darkness and narrow-mindedness.
In a world that often feels more absurd than anything a cartoonist could invent, I hold onto optimism, creativity, and humanist values. These are things worth protecting—not through loud proclamations, but through thoughtful, beautifully crafted illustrations that make you think, smile, and reflect.
