The Art of Simon Bisley

Product Information

Eventually, even though he had no experience in comics strip drawing at the time, he was hired by the magazine 2000 AD after they saw his interpretations of their magazine characters. According to the Comic Book Database, "while still a student, Bisley did a painting of a robot holding a baby that he sent to the offices of 2000 AD. The image was seen by Pat Mills and inspired him to relaunch the ABC Warriors strip, with Bisley as artist, in 1987". [2] He started with work on ABC Warriors in 1987, later moving to Sláine and Judge Dredd. [3] With AI…I mean it’s just funny isn’t it? It’s amazing, sort of. Just a program on a computer. And after I’ve created something it’s no longer mine really anyway. But in the end my style came from Frank Frazetta, Bill Sienkiewicz, Richard Corben, Michelangelo, all these people.

years old, me. It’s about time, don’t you think? I’ll be about 80 and on my deathbed and still going, ‘It’s about time I grew up now.’ I’ve always been a fan of more traditional mediums, too. But as you said it’s definitely something shifting. It’s nice that so many people have the access to create in a new way, even if it’s not how you or I prefer it. There’s one of the artists, Kim Jung Gi, that’s supposed to be here who passed away just a few days ago –

Welcome to Berserker!

I can imagine that if you still offered it people would absolutely still pay you in beer. They’d probably pay you in as much as the equivalent of your pricing if you requested it [laughs] Music has depth. If you look at music on a plane, you have a line, and things come up above and below it. But art isn’t flat, if you’re talking about pure painting; there’s never an even space from when you start. So I’m saying, the whole point of me going off like this actually was, there’s lots of different points. There’s lots of points of view. If you’re overly conscious of what you’re doing in the abstract, then you fall into the trap of being conscious, and therefore pretentious. And that’s a good word for it because it means that you’ve become overly aware. Hm..wait, I’ll tell you what I think. I think the shame is that artists who are already good artists in traditional art are going digital. Bill does digital a lot now and I think, why? I love your work, man. You see his art in real life, it’s astonishing. But then you see the stuff on the screen and it’s just…I don’t know. And then there’s this new thing, isn’t there? I-something?

Nah, nah. But it makes me realize how much I threw away from my miserable life. I could’ve made more of an effort in a lot of ways. There’s just a lot of ways I could’ve done better. Way better. Take a different approach, I think. laughs] Well, I mean, pretentiousness is a consciousness of art as it’s being presented and regarded. Talking with Grant, we were talking about the purest form of art – so to do art and to do real art is to do something that would be so utterly unconscious, unpretentious and unconscious. Why paint anything at all? Why even bother? If you’re doing fine art and you want to paint something for yourself, why bother at all? Because when you paint you’re considering a lot of things. How are people going to react to it? Am I going to be a great artist or am I going to be a bad artist? Shall I do this or not do it? If somebody has doubts about it, you’re being pretentious because you’re not really actually doing what you really want to do.

King Shit! [laughs] No, it’s not necessarily weird. It’s not weird. Just sort of realizing that you’re a few more steps nearer the grave. Your life’s got to a point, to a degree. Bisley has done design work for several music videos, including Chippendales' "Room Service". [ citation needed] Bisley's work influenced the Beast in the 2006 Doctor Who episode " The Satan Pit", [8] and Simon Pegg's character graphic artist Tim Bisley on the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced.

Someone came up to me a few days ago and she says, “Simon?” I said, “What?” She said, “Have you got a lawyer?” I said, “Why?” She explained to me what’s going on with all of this. And I think we’ll all be affected by it at some point, because once they use my name, they’ll want to use people like… Again, Bill [Sienkiewicz]. I cite Bill a lot, I know, because Bill represents to me that kind of fine art, unpretentious style.
