Simon Cook at Concrete Hermit

A few months ago I did a post about the wonderfully talented Simon Cook. Simon Cook, one of six graduates featured in Creative Review's  'Class of 2010' issue in September. I am pleased to have found out that he opened his first solo exhibition at Concrete Hermit's Carnaby Street space in London yesterday evening.


Cook set up his own company, Stone and Spear, back in 2008 while still a student on the BA (Hons) Graphic Design course at Nottingham Trent University. His distinctive tyle, which combines photographic imagery with brightly-coloured graphics, has since appeared in work for clients including Anorak Magazine, Poolga (who make art and wallpapers for the iPhone and iPad) and DPI magazine.

The show will feature a series of A2 prints by Cook, which are shown here. He will also launch the Stone and Spear product line, which includes badges, stickers and greetings cards, in the gallery at the same time.

More info on Stone and Spear is at stoneandspear.com, and Concrete Hermit's website is concretehermit.com.

Stone and Spear - Simon Cook

Simon Cook is a fellow 2010 graduate from Nottingham Trent University. He is a well accomplished Illustrator who has been featured in this years Creative Review 2010 Graduate Special. 


Even though Simon has only just graduated he has already set up his own business named Stone and Spear. His Illustrative style is bold and colourful, he combines vintage photography with strong geometric vector shapes which achieves a wonderful playful feel to his work. 


Here is some of Simon Cooks work:
