RIP Simon Dixon, by Hubble Bubble on Sept 1, 2017 10:44:49 GMT 1, I was just googling Simon and saw he'd died earlier this year. I knew he'd been ill and that there had been a charity auction to raise money for his treatment.
I visited Simon's studio some years ago when he shared space with Chris Kettle and, whilst I didn't pull the trigger, I always have had a soft spot for his pop art inspired portraits with their big, bold strokes and larger than life subjects.
He was raucous, unrestrained, joyous and loved being an artist.
I like folk like that and I liked him.
Here's a piece that appeared in the local paper.
Here's his website.

RIP Simon Dixon, by telecine on Sept 1, 2017 22:28:48 GMT 1,
I contacted him last August as I was looking for this beautiful colour way for my wife birthday gift. He had one left in his studio which he sent to me . He was just going in for chemo then, he told me.
Finally got it framed a only few weeks ago and was going to send him a pic and a thank you as it looks so great and discovered the awful news..
Really, really sad.
