I am Simon Dovar, a London based illustrator and designer. My distinctive illustration style is informed by my graphics background. Utilising my obsessive collection of visual material I combine handmade techniques with computer based work. Amongst other things I am inspired by anatomy, the natural world, typography and architectural form. Alongside my illustration work I jointly run the award winning design studio Binary & The Brain creating record sleeves, book covers and branding - www.binaryandthebrain.com Client list: Pan Macmillan / Publishers The Royal Mail / Magazine New Scientist / Magazine Computer Arts / Magazine Freerange / Record label Grand Designs / Magazine Capstone / Publishers Televisual / Magazine Wealth Bulletin / Magazine Shoot London / Events Publications: Computer Arts / 08 Tactile / High Touch Visuals Supersonic Plugzine / 07 Observer Magazine / Jun 06 Designed to Help Exhibitions: Even Dwarves Started Small / Here Shop, Bristol / October 2008 Primer at The Pool Bar / May 2007 Tate Modern - Shoot London / July 2006 Primer Cryptozoology, London / May 2006
