I've been painting...

[AndyC77]

I too came here via S&M. Love the chain choice, makes a change to hear a different song from the Primitives for changes other than Crash. And yes, excellent paintings, I particularly love the Tommy Cooper one, captures him really well - is it for sale at all?

[cooltubeish]

Terrific work Simon.

Heard you on R&M and came here to see your work. Well impressed!

Love your style.

I think the idea of doing Radcliffe & Maconi would be great.

[damianfitz98]

also playing catch up. My American girlfriend just pointed at a picture of Morcombe and Wise

and asked "Is that Radcliffe and Maconie?"

Keep it up, mate!

[MrDGNZ]

Playing catchup on the iPlayer.... great paintings Simon, good luck in the future.

[SuzyQ]

So happy that you are getting back to normal. You ARE very talented, a bit like your brother ;) and everybody should check out your videos too. My favourite still is 'Fenton Electrics'. The Fudley Dudley bit at the end always makes me laugh out loud!! x

[papamache]

Simon - heard you on 6music. Paintings are great & I wish you every success & happiness with your ventures.

Must say - 'Burping Kitten' has made me cry hard (repeatedly) with laughter!!!

Your short films are genius! Thank you for brightening my day with this talent.

Good luck always!

[chipster190568]

Again, came here from Radio 6, great work Simon, really beautiful paintings!.

[AnnaFiendofQuay]

Heard you on Radcliffe & Maconie, Nice one and great paintings!!! Always good to see Audrey Hepburn, would like to see the Hattie Jacques!! Good luck with your recovery...

[Nobkat]

Great paintings!! Love the Michael Caine one!!

[smoothfield]

Thanks everyone for the comments, (& thanks Radcliffe & Maconie!). Your great and kind messages are much appreciated.

[garethgee]

These are great paintings, well done. Thanks also for your 6Music choice, which reminded me to check out the Primitives' new stuff, there's an EP from last year called 'Never Kill a Secret' which I've been meaning to fidn... And best wishes for your recovery, too.

[ulrikakaka]

love em ...keep painting xoxox

[PaulBlez]

Great paintings, Simon and a top chain choice on Rad&Mac. I've never heard 'Way Behind Me' by the The Primitives before and absolutely love it! Best of luck with your recovery and hope you sell tons of paintings!

[sassard]

Heard you on 6 Music and your positive outlook, great work and specially love the Audrey Hepburn portraits, wishing you a speedy recovery! :)

[mcculloch29]

Simon, these are brilliant. I love the Tommy Cooper portrait and the two of Audrey Hepburn. I hope the Job Centre's as impressed as the rest of us. Good choice of Chain Tune too... All the best with your recovery, May this be a really good year for you. Best wishes from another work-from-home. (E-tutor, I was on the Chain the other week. Good, innit?!)

[Wisemill]

Excellent work get well soon

[iangoodfella]

Good stuff, high quality, well done. Hope you get commissions soon. Incidentally a close friend of mine also had GB a year ago. Picked it up cycling round West Africa, got back to UK with help from Embassy. He still has issues with lack of strength in hand and feet which is a real shame as he was a keen sportsman before it. He's making great progress and now cycles and plays football. Nothing like he used to but is getting there very slowly. I hope your rehabilitation goes as well, good luck.

[hotrodanna]

Nice paintings! - how much for Johnny Rotten?? contact me through Instant Vintage Designs website, please! All the best to a fellow creative 6 Music listener!

[robdaly209]

like others I'm here because of R&M on 6! well done them and you, get well soon!

[natnat208]

just heard you on the radio chap....some great paintings, love the Sinatra. Great that you found something worthwhile and creative to do with your time Good luck with your recovery x

[GOrwell1]

Good luck with the recovery Simon, I suffered with the same illness when was about 10 yrs old, i'm 26 now and fit as a fiddle. Paintings look great.



[donegansarah]

I just heard you on 6 Music....these are really nice paintings Simon...they really have something about them with a real handwriting of your own. I love the colours and backgrounds you have chosen. Good luck with your website and I hope your business goes from strength to strength! Get well soon!

[BuffaloMovies]

ha! yea - your hits have gone up from 160 to 302 in the time it took me to sign in. I was going to estimate you´d hit 1000 by tomorrow - that might be underestimating it at this rate!

Good stuff - please let us see the Bob Marley one when it is finished.
