About Me

A Nap with Simon

Nothing much to see here, just your everyday pop culture fanatic with way too much time on his hands. In my day job, I’m an owner and designer for places like Arca Noctis and County Argyle. That gives me the chance to design sterling jewelry, dream up card games, design collectible pins, publish Tarot decks and plenty more. The one current underlying it all is my love for everything retro pop. Old View-Masters? Check. Vintage games? Check. Saturday morning TV? Check. Fifties beefcake photography? Check. You get the idea.

When I’m not designing or writing, I’m traveling around and locking down new finds that I can polish up for the site or craft into something new. If you ever want to connect over pop culture, follow The Retrograph on Instagram or drop me a line.

My Work

Pins: All my pins are cast in hard enamel with secure pin-backs. The colors are designed to pop, and the pins are engineered to wear for years.

Games: Each of my games is hand-designed by me, built by real-life artists (no AI, ever), and play tested for hours to ensure maximum fun and replayability. Most of my games are simply a sturdy plastic deck box filled with 70 custom, poker-sized cards. A few may require an extra item or two (a six-side die or a pair of tokens, for example). Those needs, if any, are very clearly listed in the game’s description.

Thank you for supporting an independent artist!
