I'm Simon Baldwin; Programmer, Artist and Animator. Welcome to my corner of the internet.

Now you're here you might as well look around for a while. If you'd like to know more about who I am, what it would be like to work with me, or to check if you know me, navigate to the Who Am I? page.

Head over to my CV page to find out my academic credentials, there you'll discover my educational history and qualifications as well as what jobs I've held over the years.
I don't keep a blog, but I do regularly maintain this website to keep the details up to date. I also integrate new work into my existing pages frequently.

To see what I'm capable of, or if you're just looking to kill some time, I'd recommend you head over to the Portfolio. There you'll find all my recent drawing work in the Gallery as well as a selection of animation work I've completed in the Theatre. A section outlining some recent programming work and sample programs can be found in the Workshop.

Thanks for visiting!
