Stuart Simmonds and Bill Greenhead were introduced by a mutual friend and finally met in July 2017. With the release of Stuart’s autobiographical cricket book “Watching With My Heroes” set to be launched in the Autumn of that year, he needed an illustrator to come up with the front and back cover artwork and to try and help him with his initial ideas.
Within minutes of meeting, they hit it off completely. Stuart was delighted to meet a grown up man wearing a Captain America T shirt whose house was full of Marvel and Star Wars posters. Even before the coffee was made, they were discussing Thunderbirds and the many other Gerry Anderson shows and as anyone who knows him well will tell you, that was easily good enough to win Stuart over.
Bill was enthralled by the tale of the stories that Stuart had written for his two girls and that it had taken seventeen years to finally get round to doing something about it. As they say, the rest is history and within a few months StuHead was formed.
The bizarre thing about this whole story is that it would never have happened if some of the artists that Stuart had approached for help had actually bothered to phone him back some months earlier.
