Simon Elliot

Simon Elliott is a criminal barrister, art obsessive, and lover of all things colorful. Inspired by Hockney's message in 2021 that "spring cannot be cancelled." Elliott put his lockdown to good use by engrossing himself in all things Hockney, learning how to paint on an iPad, and creating his first graphic novel, Hockney: A Graphic Life (Frances Lincoln, 2023), which was published with Hockney's blessing. His other works include Vincent: A Graphic Biography (Frances Lincoln, 2024), and Kusama: Polka Dot Queen (SelfMadeHero, 2025).
