Sidney Sime was a painter, illustrator and caricaturist. He was born in 1865 in Manchester to a poor family. He worked in the coal mines as a boy, then for a linen draper and a baker, before taking up sign writing and entering Liverpool school of art.
He moved to London to work for Pick-Me-Up and other magazines, making both theatrical caricatures and sinisterly humorous drawings. His work, although influenced by Aubrey Beardsley and Japanese prints, was truly original.
In 1898 he inherited a house and money from his uncle, an Edinburgh solicitor. He moved to Scotland to occupy his new property and to paint. However, he soon felt isolated, sold the house in Scotland and moved to Crown Cottage in Worplesdon, Surrey.
In 1904 Sime first met Lord Dunsany, who both enjoyed the company of this eccentric artist and greatly admired his work. They shared a fascination with imaginary worlds and fantastical tales. Dunsany chose Sime to illustrate his first book, The Gods of Pegana, a poetic fantasy, and was delighted with the result. Their collaboration continued until the 1930s.
In 1909 he formed a friendship with Lord Howard de Walden who employed him to make set and costume designs for his theatrical productions. Another member of their circle was the composer Joseph Holbrooke, for whose operas Sime also made designs.
After the Great War Sime devoted much of his time to rendering his fantasies in large oil paintings, a number of which are shown here. rhymes and stories. See watercolour, ink, and collage artworks in person – as well as early drafts, sketches and ideas shown alongside text from Michael Rosen’s books.

Remixology: The Art of Ketna Patel
2025-01-09 11:00 - 16:00, 2025-01-10 11:00 - 16:00, 2025-01-11 11:00 - 16:00 | Heath Robinson Museum, 50 West End Lane, Pinner, HA5 1AE, United Kingdom
‘Often referred to as Asia’s answer to Andy Warhol, Ketna Patel is a highly prolific British-Indian mixed media Artist.
Her Art is colourful, global, multi cultural and brimming with energy, wit and valuable insights into our everyday world.’
Having lived in Kenya, U.K, Singapore and India, she has been widely acclaimed for converting her Global insights into a compelling visual vocabulary that has injected a fresh counter expression to the predominantly western dominated narrative of world art. Using different cultures and historical events, she juxtaposes mythological characters, Gods, political icons and the common man on the same canvas. There is a fresh romance between the old and the new, breaking through stringent cultural, political, and class boundaries that have dominated the world for centuries.
Her collaborations have ranged from Bollywood’s IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) and Hollywood’s Director Spike Lee to corporate giants like TATA, SONY & KIEHLS. In 2011, Tata Motors (India) commissioned her to convert one of their ‘Nano’ Cars into a work of Art, which she did using Italian glass mosaic by SICIS. Ketna’s artwork has been licensed to fashion companies, carpet houses, furniture makers, book, and album covers, and regularly been donated for fund raising initiatives from UNICEF, Elephant Parade & AWARE and more.
