Early life

(April 2016 )
Simon Bisley began drawing when he was six years old. He is self-taught, with only a short one-year stay at an art college, saying "I found it very difficult to get any kind of feedback from the art teachers. They weren't interested at all in what I was doing, so I became kind of very introverted with regard to my artwork and yeah, I was just all self-taught."[1]
Career
[ edit ]
Bisley started his career doing magazine and album covers, his first work being a T-shirt design for heavy metal magazine Kerrang! [1]
Eventually, even though he had no experience in comics strip drawing at the time, he was hired by the magazine 2000 AD Pat Mills and inspired him to relaunch the ABC Warriors strip, with Bisley as artist, in 1987".[2] ABC Warriors in 1987, later moving to Sláine and Judge Dredd .[3]
Simon Bisley significantly contributed to the visual and conceptual development of the character Lobo (DC Comics) in the comic book universe.[4] Alan Grant and Keith Giffen initially contacted Bisley to rework Lobo's appearance. Bisley added distinctive elements such as big biker boots, skull knee guards, a hook and chain around Lobo's arm, and made the character much more muscular, transforming him into an impressive space biker.
He also created Lobo's dog, “Dawg”[5] [6]
Bisley distorted and surreal artistic style, combined with garish colors and crude language, emphasized the character's violent and absurd nature.[7]
In addition to his interior artwork, Bisley also produced iconic painted covers that became closely associated with Lobo's brutal and offbeat image.
Originally a minor character, Bisley significantly contributed to the reinvention of Loboy with an anarchic touch that left a lasting impact, making it one of his most iconic contributions to the comic book world.[8]
Notably, the original painting for Lobo #1 sold for $192,000 at auction in 2021.[9]
Since 1997, Bisley has been a regular contributor to the comics magazine Heavy Metal [10]
Bisley has done design work for several music videos, including Chippendales ' "Room Service".[citation needed
In the early 2000s, Bisley was commissioned to create artwork for the drum kit used by System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan , an avid comic book collector and vendor. Dolmayan commissioned Bisley to illustrate the Hulk and Thing on one drum, while the art for other drums in the kit, which depicted other characters and scenes, were produced by Kevin Eastman , Tim Vigil , and Arthur Adams .[11]
Influences
[ edit ]
Bisley's style is strongly influenced by Frank Frazetta ,[12] Gustav Klimt , Salvador Dalí , and Richard Corben , Bill Sienkiewicz , and Egon Schiele .[13]
Bisley's work influenced the Beast in the 2006 Doctor Who The Satan Pit ",[14] Simon Pegg 's character graphic artist Tim Bisley on the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced [15]
