I am just completing all the elements for the new V6.0 marsdencartoons.com website. I decided to ask my buddy Marlowe over to give me a hand with the navigation. He was drawn in Adobe Illustrator and will be appearing in a brief flash animation in the site navigation. He’s going to move his eyes a little bit and sniff his fish.
Why, you ask?
I don’t know, frankly!

A selection of Ian D. Marsden cartoons and illustrations are now available as stock art at www.fotofinder.com - just type in the searchwords: Ian Marsden and you will have an ever growing selection to choose from. Of course as an illustrator it is always fun to be contacted directly and create a ’special’ custom made piece for the client, but sometimes it is also nice to have ready-made pieces available too.
I love to draw and write nonsensical postcards whenever I have the chance (and time). I buy postcard format pads of Bristol or watercolor paper and simply draw whatever comes to mind - then a few words on the back, an address, a stamp and off they go.
The nice thing about the Rotring ArtPen ink, is that you can go over it with a paintbrush and water and give it a fine wash.
For many years I did this without even scanning them, so only the people who received them (if they received them, that is) would even know they ever existed.
