Simon is a genuinely talented guy and awesome to work with. A great mentor with honest advice and support. His experience means he knows exactly what kind of shots to get to show art work and the model at their best. He is extremely supportive to artists and has an effortless way of relaxing models and making them feel great during their shoot.

Thoroughly lovely bloke; down to earth, genuine and very talented - a great combination! After attending one of Simon's body painting workshops at Showzam in Blackpool, I can honestly say my body painting has improved enormously. Thanks Simon :-)

I worked with Simon at the Showzam bodypainting convention in Blckpool yesterday. He is such a cool guy, really laid back and looked after all of the models and painters through any tough times.

We had a great day.

His paint work is second to none and his props and head pieces are phenomenal!

His experience speaks volumes in his knowledge of all aspects of the field.

I would highly recommend anyone to work with him :) x

Well what can I say other than simon is awesome, he has really helped develop my body paint skills over the past few months without much gain for himself and not many would go this far to help others create.

Our shoot say was brilliant really calm and composed and he made everyone feel extremely relaxed and made the day go ahead with ease.

Absolutely highly recommended and great to learn from. Thankyou so much simon for making it easy!

Showzam was a Fantastic event, and Simon is a fantastic tutor, an amazing artist and a pleasure to work with. He gave me so much confidence that I can not wait to work with him again . He is very caring and considerate of his models and I highly recommend his talents.

Well, what I can say? I was very fortunate to be Simons model for the day at Showzam. His body painting is just incredible as is his hat making. He even made my eyelashes! There's nothing this this guy can't do! Extremely talented, and an absolute pleasure to work with. He always ensured I was comfortable throughout the 6 hour painting session, had regular breaks to move around, eat and drink etc. He really did look after me. I must also add that he has a great sense of humour! I had a smile on my face most of the day. I had a good laugh! It was one of the best days I have ever had- one to remember! I highly recommend working with simon- you will not be disappointed! I'm looking forward to working with him again soon.

Thanks simon :)

We organise the event over a casting call, and with honesty the response was rapid. Communication is great over Facebook as well as here :) he gave me advice and the other girls on what to do on the big day which helped greatly.

On the day at Blackpool everything went perfectly, I received great support and always enjoyed the company. Simon is a great artist as well as photographer and mentor. I highly recommend anyone to work with him. An amazing day and person thanks again! X

Omg... the only word is epic!!

Bloody brilliant day!! Very long chilly day but it was great :)

Simon is a diamond in the arts!!!!

So professional and friendly but fun at the same time.

I made myself right at home, had such a good day.

All hand drawn and painted. Brilliant!! Just adding that extra bit of colour here or there. Brilliant!!!

Very memorable experience and so want to do again .....

Simon is so delicate and neat with his art work, and such a gentleman!!

I am so hoping that this is a start of some thing good to come.

And the images I have are fab ..,. I cant fault him at all

Hope to work with you again very soon

Thank you

What can i say about Simon...Creative Overload!!! This guy is just so full of ideas its incredible. He's easy going and easy to work with. Had a great day at a group bodypaint with Simon. He photographed me, told me exactly what he wanted and we quickly got some great images under difficult conditions. I hope that i can get painted by him in the future as i would love to rock one of his creations! x

Another awesome experience with Simon.

Not only did he do a wicked job on the painting and making some neat armor/weaponry, he's also a wonderful person to be in a room with for six hours :)

I don't really know what to say that I didn't say last time - wicked person, wicked painting, wicked costume building, got images back to me quickly, and we're doing some castings soon!

I recommend Simon completely, being painted should be on everyone's bucket list, and Simon is a great person to do it.

Had a really great day yesterday with Simon. It was my first body paint shoot and I really enjoyed being his canvas. Simon was very friendly and I was super impressed with what he created. (I just wish the 8 pack abs didn't wash off!) I'd definitely recommend Simon and would certainly jump at the chance to collaborate with him again in the future. :-)

Victoria Watson

Enjoyed getting involved with Simon's workshop in London at the weekend. I was great to be taught alongside all of the bodypainters - I look forward to working with Simon again and I assure you this will not be my last bodypaint.

I dont really need to complement him in any way as you can see from his other references and profile you would not want to miss the opportunity to work with Simon - He is willing to travel anywhere, so should you - you will not be disappointed,

Hope forward to working with you again

I had the fantastic opportunity to work with Simon today and what an amazing day we had!

I have to admit I was slightly nervous before the shoot as this was my first body paint but from the minute I arrived he made me feel so comfortable and at ease.. He is an absolutely brilliant artist, he blew me away with his amazing props that he made from scratch and I loved what he created for me!!

I would highly recommend Simon and would jump at the chance to work with him again :D

I had my first full body paint shot today. I am so lucky i had it with Simon! Having admired Simon's work since I joined PP I jumped at the chance to work with him,

His art is on another level - he's totally professional, has amazing talent & is so much fun to be around.

We had an awesome day . Looking forward to work with him again!

Thank you, you're amazing !!

Rachel Hayley Mitchell

What an amazing day! I was told exactly what was going to happen so there was no surprises - but from looking at Simon's work you should know exactly what to expect, but Simon still went through the process! I got on with Simon very well and thoroughly enjoyed working with him. The day flew by as it was very comfortable and of ease - even if there were a few tickly spots! I'm so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with one of the few VERY amazing body painters in the world! And would happily do it all again as the end result was breath taking. I'm very happy with the results and hope to work with Simon again in the near future :)

AceCaz said...

Well what can I say about simon.... He is a total gent, although in messages he had told me what to expect from the day, he again went through it all before going any where near the studio. He constantly reassured me during the hours of painting which made me feel totally at ease. He's extremely laid back and easy to get on with and I would have no hesitation in working with him anytime in the future or recommending him to others. Thanks simon :)

I signed up for a 2 day workshop on prosthetics and bodypaint with simon as tutor, and it exceeded all my expectations (and they were pretty high expectations in the first place) Simon is just amazing. His creativity and knowledge are immense. He is incredibly patient and his enthusiasm to share his skills is contagious. Looking forward to the next workshop.

JuicyJ said...

I have worked with simon twice now once on a bodypaint and on a sfx bodypaint workshop as his model and on both times he was just amazing the talent that comes from him is just amazing and i would recommend anyone who gets the opportunity to work with simon you should grab the chance with both hands. Also his sfx courses are jammed packedfull of intersting things that you never thought you would never be able to make. Brilliant guy thank you sinon
