About
Working locally from my Central Brighton studio, as well as across London, the UK and beyond. Available for indoor and outdoor mural commissions, as well as commissions for print and original canvas artwork - please enquire to find out more! I am a fine artist & street artist, inspired by pop art and comic artists from the 50s and 60s. I achieve my bold, graphical comic style through detailed stencils and spray paint, techniques heavily rooted in street art. The most intriguing influence in my paintings is my integration of Renaissance techniques in composition, golden ratio and Fibonacci. Euro News went as far to describe Simmons' work as 'Pop Art inspired by da Vinci'.

I do not mind replicating an existing design

Pick me for these projects! :-

Blending of pop, graphical and comic art styles. Narrative-driven pieces which tell stories about people, culture and society.
