I love to read, not that I have much free time to indulge any more, and like many illustrators I also love book covers. Occasionally I make my own versions of covers for my favourite reads.

“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!”
