Early life

Simon Bisley began drawing when he was six years old. He is self-taught, with only a short one-year stay at an art college, saying "I found it very difficult to get any kind of feedback from the art teachers.

Bisley started his career doing magazine and album covers, his first work being a T-shirt design for heavy metal magazine ''
