MARCH

Drawn in Bristol presents
SIMON DAVID MILLS

7th - 31st March ~ RSVP here

'Beards'

Simon's artwork starts as a doodle on a scrap of paper, which can play havoc with the household utility bills! He finds most of his characters and subjects in that first doodle.

A big fan of using found objects as 'canvasses' and things that have been discarded by others, he creatively gives them a second life. He also uses various objects for his work: roads, walls, boxes, lockups and even the odd scrap car!

He enjoys using ink, sticks, brushes and spray paint and is also quite partial to an electric jigsaw.

Simon David Mills is an illustrator based in Bristol, England and is part of the illustration collective Drawn in Bristol.
