I'm a graphic designer/illustrator/musician living in Exeter, Devon, UK. If you imagine three big slabs of stone representing my three fields of work and I'm constantly chipping away at them. One day I'll produce one big project touching on all three at once, but for the time being graphic design pays the bills...

Wow - this is great. I wish I'd got my artwork up on here sooner. Admittedly some of it is fairly old as my graphic design work and music had taken me away from illustration and drawing to a certain extent, but all the same the positive response and nice comments I've received have been gratefully absorbed and have certainly inspired me to get the ball rolling.

I work fairly fast (I get bored quickly) and my fairly recent love affair with my Wacom tablet has improved things considerably as well as giving me a whole new palette of options. It amazed me how easily I took to the tool. I've been drawing with pen, pencil and brush since I was about 3 (Drawing dinosaurs then Marvel comics characters) and it felt as natural as any other medium.

Fascinating that I now have pieces of artwork that only exist as pixels on a hard drive as opposed to a tangible hard copy! In much the same way I have just been going through old 4 track cassette tapes of demos from the 80's and 90's and transferring them to CD, although my latest recordings in their purest form exist as 24 bit samples. Time moves on!

Hello Simon, good to see you and your work on here! That was a surprise! :)

I'm not on here *a lot* due to time constraints but I do check in every week, sometimes more. I love this site.

Hope you're well. Take care. x
