Greetings. I've posted a selection of my artwork on this blogpage in lieu of a website, as I don't have the patience and skills necessary to build myself one.  If someone out there is interested in seeing original work available and that available as prints please feel free to contact me at tomohara@nctv.com.

I live in Mount Shasta, Ca and make my living as an artist. Have studied at the Calif. College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland and at the Royal Academy of Art in London, though most of my education came from working artists. While in Great Britain I was able to live out my lifelong dream of working for Walt Disney Co. drawing the classic Disney characters.

I paint mostly people and landscapes, but willing to depart at any excuse. I have a fairly new children's book entitled Rex Reads - available on Amazon and at www.simonsmithbooks.com

Hope you enjoy my work.
