Simon cut his teeth as a street artist in Covent Garden way back in the 1980s and has been a full time professional ever since. Sheba was one of those kids that would draw on the walls if her mum ran out of paper but became a pro literally overnight in 1991- one day working as lifeguard, next day drawing at parties and events and has never looked back since.
Since then our work has taken us all over the world, one day drawing royalty at the Bahrain Grand Prix, the next drunken party goers at a raucous east end boozer! And we love them all! When we're not doing that we have a fully equipped studio and spend our time producing illustrations and artwork for pretty much everything.

Services
Here you can see random examples of Simon's work from over the years to inspire or just amuse you. Normally we divide commissions up between us depending on who's least busy or which of us fancies the job. But if you prefer one style over the other just let us know. The one not chosen will pretend not to be offended.
We have a fully equipped studio on the island and, when not out entertaining at events, can produce artwork for pretty much anything. Illustrations for web sites, invitations, greeting cards, souvenirs, magazines and papers, books, or just a unique gift for the person that has everything. But being Bitter & Twisted we don't just draw on paper.
Step 1 -You send us a brief and photos of all the people to be included. Step 2 - We then produce a series of rough drafts which you can change amend and edit to your hearts content till you have something rippling with life, personal touches and tiny details. You can include speech bubbles, hobbies, cars, buildings, logos, fetishes and foibles in any setting you want.
We've got our own mug press! So we can now produce your caricature on a mug! Simple as that! A shiny, colourful and unique one-off with you on one side and the your name on the other! And, yes, they're dishwasher proof! All we need from you is a nice clear photo or two (e-mail is fine) and you'll get the finished thing usually within a week!
It's hard to beat a caricaturist on the day. Get people bonding and having a bit of a giggle in that dead space between the ceremony and the breakfast as we wander round catching couples for a unique momento of the special day. Or for something truly amazing get us in to do the whole party on one big board.

Twice a year they open their studio as part of the Eel Pie Island Open Studios weekends and it is a great opportunity to meet them, have a chat and leave with a great and unique local artwork as I did.
I do love all the caricatures featuring old rock 'n' roll legends, maps of the Twickenham area and other sides of
