Thank you to Raymond Briggs for some of the first comics strip books I ever read. Delightful and exquisitely melancholy.

RIP - one of the best illustrators ever. 😔💚

Thought I'd see how does when prompted with his inimitable style.

Not bad results... but not a patch on the Master himself.

Humans are definitely better than machines.

I was sad to hear about the passing of Raymond Briggs today. I loved reading his books especially The Snowman and Fungus the Bogeyman when I was young and of course watching The Snowman. Here is an illustration I did inspired by that magical moment ✨️

Brighty: Another sad loss, which demanded commemoration by pen. Amidst the sadness, this was pure joy to draw. I make no apology for any over-sentimentality, since he was the master of sentimentality - political cartoon gallery in London https://t.co/dePcTdnXF6

Fungus The Bogeyman - I still have my childhood copy, full of weird funny icky incidental details. I adored the Bogey Boy's bedroom, where he slept in a slime filled sardine tin, and the Flaked Corn breakfast cereal. Thank you Raymond Briggs, a legend.
