Guess what? I’ve met Simon Drew, famous artist and comic genius stationed in Dartmouth, while I was on holiday there. I took one look into his shop window and was instantly hooked, and amazed at his artistic and humorous masterpieces! I felt compelled to venture into the shop immediately and as I walked in noticed a rather eccentric looking man with a very peculiar dress sense and alternative spectacles. Lets say he was the kind of person who would definitely stand out in a crowd. Anyway, five minutes later he asked if he could help me and my parents.
You see, I was looking for a rather inventive and equally as thoughtfully brilliant greeting card containing smart wordplay (as most of his work incorporates) in the form of “Jimi Hen Drinks”, which refers to both the famous guitarist and a drinking hen at a local pub.
It turned out that the product had been discontinued because of the bizarre reason that it had become too popular! I can certainly understand why. Luckily, he still had a crate full of the item, and produced one for me to buy. Not only had he gone to the trouble of fetching the card, but he was also immensely generous in giving me his latest book filled with fifty pages of pure genius absolutely free!
He also owns another shop further down Foss Street run by his wife, where you can purchase mugs, tea towels, tee-shirts etc. with his prints on them.
If you are interested in his works, here is the address of his website:
