No Such Place


My name is Simon Howe and I am an animator and illustrator. I work under the name, No Such Place at Chantilly Studio Inc. in the heart of Melbourne city. I mostly work with motion graphics but thought it would be nice to have a space designated to my illustration and sketches. And so here we are.

  2. Hello, Tumblr Friends! I haven’t been posting much over the past few weeks because I’m having a little wander across India. But my sketchbook is definitely filling up! This is a self portrait of me demonstrating that I’m perfectly comfortable around monkeys.

  5. My friend is about to become a father. He’s been working hard lately and must be getting very nervous, so I drew a picture of him holding a chicken to make him smile.

  6. I used to know a girl with a penchant for octopuses, spirals and the colour orange. Here she is in a green dress.

  9. A drawing of the title characters from the band, Oh Pep! I’m working on a larger drawing of all five musicians in the band but I got impatient and felt like posting something. Hopefully I should have the full illustration finished in the coming days!

  10. I watched The Science of Sleep last night. I hadn’t seen it in years and was pleased to find that it still stands as one of my favourite films. Thinking this, I drew a cartoon of Stéphane & Stéphanie.
