A great experience working with Simon. From our first tele-conference, I was confident that he got what I was looking to accomplish. Working through a few changes of things that I had thought about during the process, Simon was understanding and totally accommodating with helping me to get exactly on paper, what I wanted my artistic message to convey. I could not be more pleased with the end results.

I would absolutely recommend Simon Goodway to anybody seeking an illustrator. Simon took the time to read my manuscript, which enabled him to provide bespoke illustrations and suggestions. He produced illustrations promptly, professionally, and made amendments without extra cost, even when I had made mistakes in my initial brief. Throughout the whole process he was approachable and extremely customer focused, as well as producing excellent illustrations that brought my manuscript to life. Based on other illustrators I contacted, I have no doubt that Simon is the best freelance illustrator in the UK market.

I must recommend Simons work for anyone who is considering having illustrations produced.The work he has done for me is excellent, did everything just as I wanted, quickly and to the highest standard, will definitely be having more work done by him in the future.

I needed a large number of illustrations for a business animation project I had to do which had a very tight time schedule. Simon followed the brief I gave him exactly, accurately and professionally - and certainly went the extra mile, sending me the files in advance of when I was expecting them. The quality of his illustrations were amazing, capturing the likeness of the photos I had sent, and were technically very sharp, making them easy to animate in After Effects. Thank you, Simon!

I contacted Simon, via his website, to do some cartoons for us. Found him to be great at his work and also inspired some great ideas and the end result was fantastic.

Simon was fast and efficient and the drawing was exactly what we wanted. We would definitely use him again for future projects.

I am incredibly impressed by the way you interpreted my notes - your drawings have literally brought my short story to life.I am very happy to recommend you to former colleagues in the educational field.

I had an idea for a caricature picture, but no idea how to do it. Simon took my thoughts and my photos and came back, first time, with 90% of what I had in mind. Refining it was easy between us - fast responses, understanding, nothing was too much trouble. I now have exactly what I imagined - even better than that. I would recommend this gentleman, his skills, his pricing and, importantly, his courteousness.

Simon, you did exactly what you say on your tin! Good work and a fair price, can't ask for more than that.

Working with Simon has been a pleasure. As novices to the commissioning game, Simon gave us a no-hassle, friendly and efficient service with speedy turnaround - he was more than accommodating when it came to asking for changes to drafts. We would be happy to use Simon again for any illustrating needs that we have in future.

Simon has an uncanny knack of being able to depict exactly what is in my mind's eye merely from an email description. The subtleties of humour his artwork portrays brings it alive; I would, and have, recommend him without hesitation.

You managed to create precisely what I was looking for from just a written description, well within my required timescale.A first class, value for money service which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Having supplied Simon with the crudest of sketches, he came up with a couple illustrations that with a couple of emails to jiggle, until perfect, are excellent. I am completely satisfied, I have used designers in the past that are only good at basic design, Simon is an illustrator and a good one at that. I would recommend you give him a try, and his prices are very reasonable.

I looked on the web to find a commercial artist for my comedy cd entitled 'laugh in a traffic jam' and found Simon. We had a meeting where I explained what I wanted & Simon drew exactly what I had in mind. The end result has done the job for me. The graphic is superb & has worked exceedingly well. Simon is very talented.

Simon was swift to respond to my brief for a number of cartoon illustrations, and was able to take the idea and bring it to life brilliantly - either getting it absolutely right first time, or being happy to adapt and tweak the visuals to perfect them. A pleasure to work with. Responsive, creative and efficient.

I have no hesitation in recommending Simon Goodway - he has produced excellent logos for my websites and reports. He has been very perceptive in understanding my requirements and has turned my initial ideas and drafts into polished, professional looking results.

Following your image for my partner's website (Suzy Salmon) and the slightly off the wall and humorous approach, I felt compelled to approach you for an image for my site.I requested a cartoon styled map of Sussex depicting areas with historic associations as opposed to 'bland' place names. You were not found wanting, and the precise placement of Beachy Head lighthouse was but a 'phone call away. Spot on and thanks.

I had a pleasant working experience with Simon Goodway. I asked him to create a special caricature of myself. He was very perceptive in understanding my request, and very skilled in its ensuing creation. I am really satisfied with his work, and I heartily recommend his services.

We contacted Simon through Google and asked him to tender for some image origination which he won very clearly from the other three artists we invited. Throughout the whole collaboration he never missed an agreed deadline, submitted excellent imagery, and worked closely with us in producing an excellent final product. We are delighted with the results.

I found Simon on a cartoonist website and certainly very happy I did. I required several cartoons to aid with a presentation.After giving Simon an outline of what I required he quickly came up with some initial ideas and with a bit of fine tuning I got exactly what I wanted. We got the business and I am sure Simon's cartoons helped!!A pleasure to deal with and all done electronically. Thanks again.

On time, on budget and to the specification we asked for. Simon interpreted my rather vague instructions extremely well and produced art work which exactly fitted our requirements. Furthermore the work he produced has proved to be commercially successful for us. I would recommend Simon's work very highly.

After viewing Simon Goodway's web site for only a matter of seconds I was sure I had found the animator I was looking for. And I was right.The fact that he is located in England and I in Southern California made no difference to me as his quick turnaround on the project was better than local animators I had previously worked with. He is very professional and his prices are suprisingly low for such high quality work.After dealing with so many bad animators in the past I am glad to have found one that is very good, that of course being Simon Goodway.

Thank you Simon for your illustrations for my husband's new driving school. We got the exact designs we asked for and Simon was more than happy to tweak a change at our request.The bees will now happily be displayed on our bright yellow mini - thank you for your support

This was our firm's first time commissioning an artist to produce a corporate cartoon, I found the process very smooth, the website did a good job of setting my expectations of cost versus detail and the final results were exactly what we needed. Thank you Simon

I love my cover illustration that you provided. It has become the trademark for my business and has brought in so much more business. I especially like that you included the children in various play positions as they built the character traits.Thank you for being so thorough!

I found Simon's site on the web and liked the character in his illustrations. We spoke briefly on the phone, I sent him notes, and then he emailed me some drawings. I was amazed at how vividly he brought my ideas to life - the illustrations were perfect, first time. His work is professional and very imaginative

Simon did a wonderful job for us. He produced a very professional design for us quickly, efficiently and inexpensively. Very happy to recommend his services.

What appealed to me about Simon was his keenness to try new projects and topics.He completed the illustrations for my book, The Digitpickits, with professionalism and interest.He was also very paitient with me as I made many changes to my book during the design process.I would have no hesitation in using Simon's services again or indeed recommending him to others.

What a stroke of luck that I found Simon's website while looking for an original way to market our service to Nursery Schools. From a brief description, and the most basic and amateurish sketch, Simon quickly turned an idea into a professional, amusing, eye-catching piece of art. Of course the whole concept is designed to increase awareness of our company and, with that being the aim, I can truly say Simon hit the bull's-eye first time.From my experience of working with Simon, I have no doubt that his skills can bring huge benefits to any business.

Simon produced excellent art work for us. It was on time and it was of a high standard. As is often the case with commissioned art work we had some slight alterations to the work when the final draft was produced; Simon made those changes quickly, efficiently and happily. All in all a very good service that we would happily recommend to anyone.

Simon was able to produce a logo in a short period of time, not really knowing what I wanted I gave Simon a photograph of myself and Simon produced a choice of 2 designs which were passed onto me in a file format that allowed me to change the colours of the image if i so wished. I am very happy with the results and would use his services again in the future.

Simon has done a great job designing our Christmas card cartoon of our high tech crash rig. This impressed a lot of people in high positions within our company and our customers both nationally and internationally.Nothing was too hard to change or took too long to do considering were on 2 different sides of the world.Will definitely call upon Simon for any future work required.Great work and a job well done.

Even though nearly all our contact was via email, Simon understood quickly what was needed and responded to my requests for changes efficiently which was very helpful.I needed graphical and unambiguous depictions of a wide variety of foods and symptoms and the end results were clear and easy for my audience to understand.

Thanks for the wonderful illustration you did for me. I was most impressed with your prompt and very professional approach. Getting the design I originally had in mind took only three drafts. Your ability to translate a client's idea of an image onto paper is superb and most impressive. The price was also very good, and I look forward to working with you in the near future.

At the closure of a six year project, we wanted to give the team something small to remember their hard work, effort and unforgettable moments. We gave Simon a range of events that took place during the course of the project. The illustrations and caricatures that he presented were absolutely brilliant and captured the comical moment of each individual. These cartoons were a huge success and we were very pleased with the professionalism, efficiency and the quality of work provided by Simon.

I approached Simon last year as I wanted a design for a charity Christmas card. As a mouth cancer sufferer I am constantly trying to raise funds for this little known cancer. I gave Simon a rough idea of what I wanted -something that would reflect the side effects of the illness but portrayed in a humorous way, if at all possible! In no time at all he came up with the perfect cartoon: three cheeky wise men carrying gold, frankincense and soup, all beautifully drawn in cheerful colours. The cards were a 'sell-out' and raised lots of money for the Mouth Cancer charity. I look forward to doing more business with Simon

When we decided to run a new ad campaign, we came up with an idea for an illustration that most illustrators wanted an arm and a leg to produce! I came across Simon's website and from our initial enquiry to finished artwork we were given outstanding service, helpful input and a thoroughly professional result that has increased our business beyond our expectation. Simon is now helping us with our next ad campaign and I would recommend his design skills to anyone with a need for an uncomplicated and effective result.

My name is Kenneth Rose and I'm the Director of Sales & Marketing for a mid sized manufacturing company located just outside of Dublin Ireland. Recently I was contemplating a method to market a new service we had taken on.Recognising that something special would be needed, we decided that a satirical approach would have great advantages. Although our personnel in-house could easily list the necessary information as well as possible satirical approaches, it was by chance that I stumbled across the web site of Simon Goodway.I viewed some of his work and quite honestly took a chance by calling him and describing the project. It was easily one of the best calls I've made. Although we've not met in person, I can best describe Simon as a value added asset. Besides just feeding him the information and him giving me some sketches, he delves beyond the basics and offers many additional approaches and ideas. It was one of his ideas that we settled upon.I was also amazed at the speed and diligence of Simon. Within two days of or initial conversation, he had emailed me 3 ideas and then sketches. He was absolutely wonderful to work with and we hope to use him more in the future.

I contacted Simon Goodway, after a lengthy search for a good artist and was firstly impressed by his prompt and detailed response to my request. Other artists were not as efficient. I wanted a unique design for a personal body tattoo, knew basically what I wanted [but cannot draw] and gave Simon a description. He listened to what I wanted and after just a day or so, forwarded a draft design to me. I was able to specify which bits I liked and how I would like it changed/altered. Once again, Simon took everything I said on board and after just another day or so, came back to me with a wonderful design which myself, family and friends all adored. I can confidently recommend Simon Goodway. His work was/is good, he keeps you updated and informed every step of the design process and his services are inexpensive. I am very pleased. As a result of this, my sister is now considering a tattoo and has taken Simon's contact details so that he can create a design for her in the future.

I made contact with Simon from his web address, I needed a cartoon of a wheelie bin with arms and face etc also it had to show movement and look environmentally friendly: I am not very good with written words and I thought he will never understand what I am asking for, but within no time he sent me a sketch: I was amazed as it was just what I had pictured in my mind.Also he is very honest and trustworthy he sent me the finished cartoon on a CD through the post and said to send him on a cheque if I was happy; Well I was more than happy not only with the cartoon but also the price, the cartoon is now on the side of my works vehicle and looks great people ask me; how did you get that cartoon? Only one place I tell them; Simon Goodway!

We were extremely pleased with the work that Simon Goodway did for us with the main character 'Farmer Josh' for our series of character building stories at acolourfulworld.com. We appreciated his high standard of professionalism, patience and customer care in all of his dealings with us by email. When he gave the date for delivery of proofs we could guarantee that he would deliver either before or on time which was crucial.We have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone who is looking for a high quality producing and efficient illustrator.

I asked Simon to produce an illustration as a present for my husband's 50th birthday, I sent him a brief and some photos of said husband. Simon produced something that exactly reflected my brief, and my husband, but added much more character to the illustration than I could have imagined. His first 'draft' was perfect, absolutely no need to make any alterations whatsoever. My husband was absolutely delighted and the illustration is now hanging above his desk. An absolutely wonderful birthday present! Thank you Simon.

Commissioned Simon to recreate a cover for a children's book and am very happy with the result. I was particularly impressed with his professionalism, advice and patience with regards to the brief and minor revisions and all at a very reasonable price. Would recommend highly

Thank you so much for the lovely illustration for the cover of my book 'Put it on a Duck'.This is my first attempt at writing a book and it was sometimes challenging to know where to turn for help. I noticed Simon's great illustrations on the internet and was drawn to ask him to do my illustration. I wanted a fun illustration to represent an important health message. Simon was so relaxed and confident in the advice and support he offered me and he was also very patient and accommodating with my wishes to make slight changes to achieve the desired finished product along the way. I have acknowledged Simon in my book along with others who have helped me to reach my goal. Nothing was too much trouble and I would recommend Simon if you are starting a new writing project and you want someone who is reliable and efficient whilst being objective.

I described what I wanted and Simon absolutely nailed it. Great service at an excellent price.

Just to say thanks for what was a fast and efficient service. You interpreted my requirments perfectly and i am delighted with the finished illustration

I found it extremely easy to work with Simon. Working entirely over email he was able to capture what I wanted and when necessary made revisions quickly and professionally. I was very pleased with the results.
