I don't care what his actual tastes are, to be honest. What I like is the novelty of the poses he draws. There are many great porn drawers out there at first glance, but when you look at enough stuff you begin to see their limits. You'd see the shortcuts, the obvious referencing, the samey poses they draw, that kind of thing. You can only look at sitting spread legs or chest out-butt out standing poses for so long (although Simon draws those too) before you stop being amused by them artistically because you realize they are flashy without depth. Simon is kind of the opposite, no flash but a lot of depth. It's primal instead of polished.
When I look at these pics >>158820 >>158315 >>157739 >>157713 I appreciate the difficulty mainly. It's not the perspective or foreshortening on those, but the way those figures interlock with each other in 3D. That's the real difficult stuff that gives his drawing a certain flavor. I know a lot of people don't see much in his work, but are surprised to hear that so-and-so artist likes him. Some of that is taste, but I really think not everyone can understand what's going on in the drawing or the real difficulty in it until they actually try to do it, and most people do not. They copy from photos when drawing more than one person, draw people floating in space, or lay a figure on top of another in a flat 2D way.
So his stuff gives me an art boner. I know that's not the boner you are looking for, but that might be true of Simon too. Maybe he goes for the unconventional stuff because the normal R34 you like has become boring to draw. I don't hate it, I don't think less of people who like it, I'm just saying there's enough of it out there and artists are the first ones to feel that way. So some begin to draw monster girls, or fetishes, or loli, or breast expansion, and Simon does what he does.
