About

Simon Pepper Auerbach is a New York based writer and illustrator with a wide variety of artistic styles. Simon works in the horror genre as well as in children's literature, and seeks to teach important lessons of self-love to people around the world.

He has taught art classes to elementary school-age children both during the school year and in the summer, mostly focused on comic-creation and character design. He is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts, but wants to continue his education into grad school to become an art therapist for kids with disabilities.

Simon is inspired by artists and writers like Charles Forsman (I Am Not Okay With This), Clive Barker (The Hellbound Heart, The Thief of Always) and Eduardo Valdés-Hevia; Many styles are incorporated from this inspiration including traditional and digital cartooning, storytelling, and edited photography. The visuals and the stories that go with them are heavily influenced by life experiences and dreams that Simon has had, as they are in a near-constant flow for him.
