Who am I?
The name is Simon Boman, (aka Mr. Simon) and all artwork displayed here is of my own work.
What I do
I’m a studying for my bachelors degree in Science and Education. Why? Well because I hate visual arts, I see no personal gain in skill or experience when 90% of the artists covered have no skill at all and lack any aesthetics. To me, science makes more sense.
Why I do art
To catalogue my time, it’s nice to be able to look back on the years gone by and have something tangible to show for it. I also like to share my artwork so that others can enjoy it too, if they wish.
Art training
I’ve had 6 art teachers over my lifetime, and sadly only the last one I had (a university lecturer) was of any use to me in teaching me something new. Consequently, I’ve come to dislike art teachers in general, though I am sure there are good exceptions out there, but from my experience they are too few and far between.
This website’s purpose
The main use of this website is to upload all my artwork onto the internet so that if I ever wish to reference it to someone I know, I can just pull out a link rather than sending file attachments in emails. Later down the track I am considering expanding into providing video tutorials on my techniques that I have had to painstakingly learn for myself *cough* teachers *cough*. To accompany this, I would like to build a reference database. I might put up a store for posters if I feel that any of my artworks are worthy of hanging on walls too.
