Welcome to my channel! I’m Ian David Marsden, a professional cartoonist, illustrator, and animator with over 20 years of experience. My work has appeared in publications like The New Yorker and MAD Magazine and has been featured in children’s TV, advertising campaigns, explainer videos, and corporate branding.
Fun fact: I was the very first Google Doodle artist, creating iconic designs from 1999 to 2000. My creative journey also includes illustrating Marvin Hamlisch: The Biography—a graphic novel released in 2020 to critical acclaim.
On this channel, I share timelapse drawings, tutorials, and behind-the-scenes looks at my creative process. Whether it’s character design, editorial cartoons, or hand-drawn animations, you’ll find content that celebrates the art of illustration.
