Drawing
simon The blue-print to all that is Art!!

This is certainly my most passionate medium in all creation.
All of the images and music you will see throughout my websites, (including the Website itself),
were created with an initial drawing, or many.
I have been drawing since the age of 2 and these days the mediums available to artists are unlimited.
I like to try all of them. This is also primarily in accordance with my desire to learn.
Every time  I edit a web-page or draw a picture,
I will endeavor to learn something new.

My favorite mediums are pencil, charcoal, pastels and my Wacom digital pen and tablet

Digital Art
simoncooperdesigns.com The way for the future!!

From vectors to manipulated photography,
there is always something exiting to be made through digital art.
When integrated with the advent of web design and Flash actionscripting especially,
the possibilities are endless.
The image to the right was the home page of my previous Websites, which,
I found contained too many images & was slow to download.
As with all things however, we live and learn.

My tools of choice for digital imagery are Adobe products: Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign
& now included in the Adobe suite: Fireworks, Flash & Dreamweaver.
Meanwhile I still love using CorelDraw also & more 3d integration also.

Traditional Art
simoncooperdesigns.comAaaah, the touch of paint

My favorite painting medium would have to be oils,however,
Since the arrival of my 2 beautiful boys, it is not something I've been able to use of late.
I am resigned currently to planning for an age when they aren't compelled to touch everything, (much like me), when I can continue the paintings I have started and planned.

The best place to see my paintings is at my house on my walls.

Commercial Art

The Image to the right is a character designed in fireworks for use as animation.
He is lilbot a robot inspired by my children and the future.
I was half considering him as an identity or mascot for Alberts Car Audio, using their colour scheme as a premise and also the elements of youth and technology.
Although I enjoy this vector created version of him, he has moved on to become a 3d character.

I was half considering him as an identity or mascot for Alberts Car Audio, using their colour scheme as a premise and also the elements of youth and technology. He is still a work in progress to date, started in August '05, he is finished however, he needs a situation.
I have cast him as cameos in other stories I am working on however, they are not a priority to me as I am not, naturally a writer. Nor, is it through reading, that I learn best.
