Bee Buckmaster

I trained under Raymond Briggs who was my tutor, mentor and an early advocate of my work encouraging my irreverent humour and ideas ideas and my fantastical stories and illustrations .There is a running thread in my work which is definitely his influence .

Published work includes a large amount of educational children's books, poetry anthologies , and more recently young teen novels ( magical / mythical genre )

Other projects have included writing and illustrating my own children's book, with another in the works featuring a cast of magical creatures who live underground and work together to reconnect us to nature …( Fungus the Bogeyman/ comic book style )
