About the author
Simon Drew
45 books3 followersSimon Drew (born October 9, 1952) is an English illustrator and cartoonist, noted for his quirky punning captions, often featuring animals which he draws in a fine pen-and-ink style.
He was educated at Bradfield College, Berkshire, and then studied zoology at Exeter University before going on to train as a teacher at Reading University. He spent five years teaching at a West Sussex school and while there spent his spare time drawing.
In 1981 he and his wife established an art gallery in Dartmouth, Devon, to sell his own work and that of studio potters. The gallery has since been listed by the Crafts Council as one of the 54 best in the country.
He continues to work, mainly in pen and ink, making still life compositions from everyday objects, birds and animals.
His first book 'A Book of Bestial Nonsense' was published in 1986 and since then he has written and illustrated more than 20.
He has exhibited locally and in Cape Cod, USA, and his pictures, limited edition prints and cards are bestsellers.
