The Alter Ego is born

Simon Hollowstone:

Simon was born in 1972 in Manchester.
He missed the punk era but his parents were very much into it.
He grew up around punks, Mohawk hair, safety pins, tattoos, studs and loud music.
He didn’t like it.



He, like most of us, thought his parents uncool.
The 80’s produced the most awful music and one day whilst looking through his parent’s record collection he found:

Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division

His life was transformed forever.
He understood the lines – he loved the music.
It gave him freedom to express himself in a way that he had never realised he could.
He could be a conformist rebel.

As an artist Simon creates work that includes lines.
