In 2020, Faber & Faber published Emergency Vehicles, a non-fiction picture book for a younger audience. The same year Simon provided the illustrations for David Long's World’s Most Magnificent Machines, also for Faber & Faber.
More recently, Simon has been developing his first book for an adult audience. Gizmo: A Visual History of Technology will be published by Laurence King in June 2023. He is also working on his first work of fiction for children.
In 2014, Simon launched an infographic poster project called Atomic Printworks. Atomic Printworks designs have been sold around the world, and have enjoyed press coverage in The Times, The Telegraph, Mail Online, The Guardian, The Independent, Elle Decoration, It’s Nice That, and others.
When he's not writing or drawing things Simon spends his time climbing up rocks, exploring the Sussex countryside, and gleefully performing experimental barbecue cookery.
