This entry is in awe and wonder of the work of
Simon Birtwistle. You have no idea how much I'd like to be one of his clients.
A favourite boat of mine is "Leviathan", a BCN butty that I have
previously written about. Maybe these few pics may remind you.

Remember now ?? Tasty huh !
This fit-out is some of the fine work of Simon Birtwistle.
And here are a couple more ...
I like Leviathan from top to tail. His timber ergonomic / organic forms really do it for me. Though it's not the whole of the next boat, 'Pilgrim' that appeals to me, more so some of the parts. Check out the back door and hatch ...

I suppose it's not bad for a seat |

Bathroom Pod - check out the door on the right |

Cosey bed nook |
These pics are like 'boat porn' ... here are a few shots of a widebeam with the Simon Birtwistle touch.

From the fore deck, step into the salon |

Fix yourself something to eat |

Ohhh yesss |

What a way to wake up |
|
The creature comforts |
Being a commission by a client, Simon's flair is more restrained here. Still nice though, but not quite as appealing as his other work. Here is a
link to his website once again.
Art, form and function of this calibre is rare ... and obviously Simon Birtwistle is a man who can deliver it.

He sells a premium product ... so if one of my
art union tickets comes good ... I'll be in touch.
We are not worthy !!! We are not worthy !!!
