Simon's Awesome Drawings!

His drawings show a world that looks a bit like our world, but with giant robots and strange machines everywhere. It's like looking at a dream that's a little bit spooky but also very exciting.

A Movie is Coming!

Guess what? This amazing story is going to be a movie! Two famous directors, the Russo brothers (they made some really big superhero movies!), are making it for Netflix.
