Hello..

Hi, I’m Bugsy (real name Mark), an illustrator and small artist from Melbourne, Derbyshire, UK.

Believe it or not, I only started drawing during COVID. Before then, the best I could manage were stickmen, and I’d never really thought of myself as “creative.” Like many people, I was looking for something to pass the time and keep my mind busy, so I picked up a pen and started doodling. What began as a little lockdown distraction quickly grew into a passion, and before long I found myself sketching every single day.

Over time, those stickmen turned into colourful illustrations, playful cartoons, and experiments with different styles. I fell in love with the process of bringing ideas to life, and with every drawing, I pushed myself to try something new. It’s been an incredible journey going from someone who thought they “couldn’t draw” to becoming an artist who now shares their work with the world.

A huge part of my growth has come from TikTok, where I create most of my artwork live. I sketch, chat, and share the process in real time with an amazing community who not only support me, but inspire me with their ideas and encouragement. It’s like having a group of friends in the studio with me, and I honestly wouldn’t be where I am without them.

Here on my site, you’ll find my artwork available as prints and gifts as well as a few other items. They’re perfect for brightening up a space, surprising a friend with something unique, or simply supporting me on this creative journey. Every single order genuinely helps me keep going, and allows me to continue turning imagination into something you can hold, hang, or gift.

From stickmen to where I am now, it’s been an amazing transformation, and I’m so grateful to everyone who’s joined me along the way. Whether you’ve watched a live stream, liked a post, or picked up a print, your support means the world to me.

Much love to all my supporters past and present you keep me going.....
