I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Simon on two projects, and I must say, his work was exceptional on both occasions. Simon demonstrated a high level of accommodation and professionalism throughout, leaving us thoroughly pleased with the final results. I wholeheartedly recommend working with him; you won't be disappointed. .
Simon did 65 caricatures for our Sales Conference in January 2023 for each attendee. He was great to work with, very professional and responded quickly to any queries. The end result was fabulous and really well received by my colleagues. I would highly recommend Simon, he's very talented, and it's a great gift to keep.
I hired Simon for my wife’s 30th birthday and he was amazing. , he arrived early asked if I would like him to start I asked if he could hang on a while and wasn’t a problem for him - went round and did those who wanted the picture and did a amazing job thank you so much :-).
Like many other talented caricaturists, Simon delivers a true representation of the subjects he is illustrating. But for me, what sets him aside from his peers is his ability to understand the brief and apply his own interpretation to it to enhance the end result. That puts him in a league of his own!
Simon drew the caricature that I have been using on social media for many years now. I feel that it captures the essence of my personality and is now almost recognised as my personal logo. It stands out from the crowd of similar photographs and people instantly recognise the post as being mine.
I have worked with Simon for many years and on numerous events. He is a pleasure to work with and we always receive excellent feedback from clients on this work. Simon is brilliant and we look forward to booking him on another client event soon.
Simon has drawn political and campaigning cartoons for my websites. He is able to grasp the idea I wish to portray quickly and is happy to make ammendments to the draft if I change my mind. Simon's work has definitely helped both my campaigns with his eye-catching cartoons and I appreciate the time he takes to get it right. Will certainly be using Simon's services again.
Simon has done many caricatures and cartoons for me over the years. His depictions never fail to be wickedly accurate, always impressing. He is also happy to follow the really detailed (and occasionally completely deranged) briefings I give him to the letter, always nevertheless cooking up his own original spin on whatever I ask. Completely superb!
Simon has illustrated 2 books for me. What he is outstanding at is that without me telling him what to draw - he can grasp the concept or point I am trying to get across to the reader and capture the essence of that in a concise and humorous way. I shall definitely be working with Simon again in the future!
I have been using Simon Ellinas for over 25 years to provide an annual caricature of our golf society's Captain. The presentation is one of the highlights of the year. Simon's work is always excellent and we will continue to use his services for as long as we can.
Simon attended our Company Golf Day and drew caracatures for our guestsat the evening dinner. It was a great source of entertainment for the event. The caricatures were of exceptional quality and all our guests were extremely impressed by Simon's talent. Thank you Simon for helping to make a great and memorable day.
Simon, I’d like to thank you again for the amazing caricatures you drew at our two Christmas parties for carers in December 2014. It was wonderful to have you at these events as it added an extra special and unique touch to the parties which everyone loved, even those that decided against having their caricature done liked the finish work of art. I was lucky to have had two done, one at each party :) You were personable but professional and I will definitely consider using your services for future events. Keep up the great work…you have an amazing skill! All the best… June x (Carers Network).
Having Simon at our work Christmas party was an excellent idea. Fast, funny pictures that added something different to the evening. I would definitely recommend him and would have him at my own events.
Simon created a cartoon for a poster for my Edinburgh Fringe show a couple of years ago. He was easy to work with, listened carefully to the brief and came up with exactly what I asked for. A talented and professional man.
Simon came to my sons 18th birthday party and produced the most entertaining and fun caricatures which are still being talked about today 8 months later! He was unobtrusive but effective and kind with his observations when requested. I would definitely recommend him.
Dicken's Boz. Gerald Scarfe. EH Shepherd. You've heard of these paradigm changers, those who brought new context to history with their penetrating insights, social commentary, and savage wit? Well, so has Simon Ellinas. I first got to know this London-based cartoonist when he appeared - as if by magic - at a gathering of students and started scribbling away. Everyone at that meeting, over 20 people, went home with a caricature of themselves doing studenty things appropriate to their professional station… and a year later, many were still on the walls of the halls! Suffice to say Simon does a bit of caricature in the same sense W. A. Mozart wrote a bit of opera. A tingling buildup which ends in a massive crescendo of emotion that blows the cobwebs from your brain and buffs the sheen of your soul. Who'd have thought that such genius could gush in such quantity from a simple A3 pad and a Magic Marker or two? Simon will soon be illustrating my wedding, and it's fair to say my guests won't know what hit them.Moreexpand_more
