Bully Free Zone Poster For Download



This is for all the little ones out there. There were times when I was bullied as a kid. It's not a good feeling. I'm glad to see schools and parents taking action against bullying.

Click on this link to download a PDF of the above Bully Free Zone poster. You can color it or hang it up as it is. The choice is yours. Either way, hang it up for everyone to see that you choose to take a stand against bullying. Please feel free to share the PDF also.

I like to try to make a difference with my artwork when I can.

Another Spotlight On My Samalou Style

Artist Lou Simeone featured on the website, What An Art!

In September the website, What An Art! featured the "Vivid, Cartoon-like illustrations of Lou Simeone". It's cool when people appreciate the work I do and feature my artwork on their websites. I take that as a real compliment. Thank you to Shashika Ranasinghe, the website's editor and creator, for putting a spotlight on my work. Shashika was really diggin' the bright colors I use in my artwork.

Everyday there are many talented artists featured on What An Art! - so art lovers - check it out.

Disguise - Poker Face

Illustration Friday weekly illustration from artist Lou Simeone

This one has always been one of my favorite illustrations - no special reason why I just always liked the idea. It's fun when you think of an illustration and it pretty much comes out the way you planned. I think maybe it's also because when you think of someone wearing multiple faces it usually has a negative connotation but this illustration is playful. What do you think?

Influence - Griffin Eye

Lou Simeone's Griffin Eyeball was influenced by the artist Rick Griffin. Richard Alden Griffin was an American artist and one of the leading designers of psychedelic posters in the 1960s.

I've loved the work of artist, Rick Griffin ever since I was in high school (a long time ago). If you've ever looked through my portfolio of illustrations and designs it would probably be pretty clear to see his influence on my work. Rick Griffin was an amazing, talented artist who illustrated countless album covers and posters in his day. His work has influenced many of today's top artists. If you aren't familiar with his work check him out online - you'll be glad you did.

If you aren't familiar with my work, I invite you to check it out online also.
