Hi, I'm Bucky!
Queer Creative | Community Builder | Pop Culture Enthusiast
I'm a writer, artist, speaker and pop culture nerd from Essex, UK.
​
​For six years, I also owned Dark Side Comics. There, alongside daily work at the forefront of the comic book industry, I fostered an incredible, all-inclusive, diverse, loving and unique community. That, and those six years, are something I will be proud of forever.

​
I have worked on licensed trading cards for Marvel, Rick & Morty, DC Comics, and Steven Universe. I create both personal and commissioned artwork for a variety of customers, with a particular focus on pop culture, horror and furry themes. I run a successful online store selling my artwork, with over 4000 sales and over 1000 five-star reviews.
I am a writer, and have contributed to several news and pop culture websites, such as Need To Consume, The Express, Metro, Nightmare On Elm Street and more. I also write fiction, with successful Verbuary campaigns undertaken from 2020 onwards. I am currently working on a short film script with Jake Ringsell Film.​
​
I have previously provided educational services to a number of schools and workplaces with a LGBTQA+ focus. I've offered bespoke talks, seminars and Q&A sessions discussing LGBTQA+ Sensitivity, teaching and training people to better understand their LGBTQA+ students, employees and colleagues, and direct communication with queer advocacy students and groups.
​
Combining my skill in both writing and public speaking, I have also worked on developing and executing a variety of interviews, panels and hosting opportunities. My responsibilities included research, providing questions, panel/interview structure and successful execution of the interview, panel or hosting event with a variety of guests under my guidance. These guests range from comic creators to A* List talent and beyond.
​
I have worked with brands and businesses to help promote products and campaigns. Clients include Disney, Marvel, Titan Comics, The Female Lead, Geek Retreat, Geek Gear Box and Dark Side Comics.
​
Finally, my work and identity as a non-binary creative has resulted in a handful of features and appearances. These include features on the BBC, BBC Radio, Marvel UK, Women's Hour, Sci-Fi Now magazine, local press, podcasts and more.
