About

I’m Ejits, a passionate multi-disciplinary illustrator, artist and muralist from Bristol, UK.

I create whimsical characters that turn a frown all the way upside down. My work is a raucous riot of colour and imagination, invoking a sense of happy nostalgia and a playful, childlike sense of humour.

I work in both the digital and physical realms and have honed a distinct character-driven illustrative style that can be applied to a wide range of surfaces.

My experience includes designing illustrations for products such as stickers, colouring books and toys, creating emotive artworks for gallery exhibitions in London, Paris and beyond, climbing up scaffolding to install large-scale works of public art (that accidentally become local landmarks) and lots more in between.

I aim to inspire creativity and joy in every project.

Ways you can work with Ejits:

  • I’m available for mural commissions and have experience painting internal and external large-scale wall art for public art events, private building owners and commerical businesses on a variety of surfaces.

    My most notable piece to date has been as part of a series of six murals organised by Upfest to bring Bristol and the UK its largest female-led street art project. I painted the facade above one of the six terraced shops on North Street now known as the Six Sisters. These are permanent pieces and have become a Bristol city landmark.

    More detailed info and examples of my mural work can be found on my murals page.

  • I have extensive experience painting commissions for exhibitions, private customers and corporate clients.

    I love the challenge of painting on almost any surface for example large-scale canvases, skateboards, spray cans, furniture, art toys and even shoes to name a few.

    I regularly contribute pieces towards exhibitions and public art shows both nationally (UK) and globally.

    If you love my work and have a commission in mind don’t hesitate to get in touch by emailing me – hello@ejits.art

  • I have over ten years of experience working for clients, big and small, in print and online as a graphic designer and illustrator. I love to harness those skills alongside the unique illustrative style I’ve created as Ejits to work in collaboration with businesses who are looking to bring vibrant eye-catching characters to their brand.

    I’ve worked in publishing, advertising and product design. One of my dream projects would be to collaborate with a fashion brand to create a range of Ejits street wear.

    If you have an illustration project in mind just get in touch by emailing me – hello@ejits.art

  • I provide intimate, relaxed and accessible workshops for public and private events.

    Some examples of workshops I host:

    ‘Draw Like Ejits’ – A family-friendly fun workshop that guides you through how to draw cute Ejits-style characters and explore the shapes and colours of my signature style while putting your own unique spin on it. Perfect for people looking to get started with drawing.

    Creative Ideation – Perfect for corporate teams who want to work through ideas in a new way. You bring the subject and I get you thinking visually by activating the creative part of the brain. I give you short exercises to get in the right mindset and then we create a ‘doodle art’ style poster that represents the project ideas and themes through your own visual interpretations. You can then display this poster in the work place to keep you motivated whenever the team needs a creative boost.

    Spray Paint & Doodle – I ran this with students as part of The University of Bristol’s Welcome Festival in September 2023. We created stunningly colourful pieces of art and played with spray and POSCA paint markers. This is a great workshop to do if you want to get really creative. Needs a large outside or a well-ventilated space.

    I also host workshops at various locations around Bristol and sell tickets through Yuup which you can find here
