Testimonials
Simon has supplied me with excellent cartoons to accompany our Budget coverage that are witty and also convey economic ideas to the readers. He is a brilliant caricaturist and his work provides a wry commentary on events. He is fast, flexible and a thoroughly nice bloke too. Ten out of ten from me. Highly recommend.
Ruth Sunderland
Business Editor, Daily MailI wanted again to say a big thank you for your involvement in our African Footballer of the Year project this year – we wanted to go bigger and better than in previous years and I think we achieved that. I was delighted with the way the cartoon profiles came out, and I hope you saw the results of the edits on the BBC Sport website and Facebook pages – there was a really good response to them, and I think we will, if it’s ok with you, frame up the original drawings and send them to the five nominees as gifts.
Giles Goford
Senior Producer, BBC SportWe commissioned Simon at extremely short notice to produce a large cartoon (whilst being filmed!) for us for a political package in our nightly national news programme. Simon took to the brief instantly and intelligently and, to be honest, probably had a a better understanding of what we needed than we did. Not only was the end product immaculate, the process of filming and working with him was a pleasure. Simon was fast, professional and good humoured whilst working under extreme time-pressure. I look forward to working with him again.

WProst MagazineSimon is always quick on the draw whenever we require him to portray philosophers, turning round the commissions quickly and with the minimum of fuss; and he’s always on point in the way he chooses to illustrate particular content. He’s very reasonably priced too!
