Working with Simon to create a custom character was an absolute joy. He listened closely to our ideas, added his own fun, colourful creativity and brought the character to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. His quirky style and professional approach made the whole process seamless. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”

We asked Simon to create a portrait as the winning prize for our Extreme Readers competition – which saw children all over the North Yorkshire Coast reading in weird and wonderful places. Simon kept us up-to-date throughout the process and created a beautiful drawing… the winning family absolutely loved it.”

We commissioned Simon to produce a graphic based on very specific needs and requirements. Simon certainly came up with the goods. It was also really original, creative and quirky, but still met the brief exactly. Highly recommended!”

Simon delivered the first few illustrations in sketch form, and we knew he was going to nail it… On budget and on time every step of the way, Simon was not only a genius illustrator but a lovely person to work with… He has a talent for taking the everyday and making it sing… He delighted our audience with his clever and cute characters, and went beyond what we thought was even possible. We'd work with him again in a heartbeat…”
