    Murugiah: The Most Personal Is the Most Creative

    Murugiah is the illustrator of the moment. He has a debut solo exhibition at the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration and a client list that runs from Apple to Elton John. But the thing he's proudest of isn't a brand commission. It's a painting of a broken figure being told it's going to be okay — the most personal thing he's made, and the image he's chosen to lead the whole show with. This one's about what it actually takes to make creative work with a unique voice, why "the most personal is the most creative," and why generative AI can, in his words, get in the bin.  Murugiah: Ever Feel Like opens at the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration on 5 June 2026. https://qbcentre.org.uk/exhibitions/murugiah-ever-feel-like Where to find Murugiah: https://www.instagram.com/_murugiah/ https://murugiah.com

We speak in-depth about Frank Ocean and Jeff's more recent work with artists like Doja Cat and d4vd. More on Jeff Ellis here: https://jeffellisworldwide.com “I got my start at the famed EastWest Studios in Hollywood California, (formerly United/Western Recorders) where artists such as Frank Sinatra and The Beach Boys once recorded. I worked with countless top artists during my tenure at EastWest and rose through the ranks to become one of their main engineers." In 2011, Jeff left EastWest Studios to engineer Frank Ocean's channel ORANGE. The Album was a critical success, earning him a 2012 Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album, as well as nominations for Album of the Year and Record of the Year. The album includes the Platinum selling single 'Thinkin' Bout You' which was his first platinum selling mix. Jeff would continue as Frank Oceans engineer during the recording of his follow up album Blonde. After the release of Blonde, Jeff transitioned to focusing on mixing and has since worked with many other notable artists such as Doja Cat, JOJI, The Neighborhood, Kali Uchis, Rico Nasty, Snow Aalegra, Omar Apollo, Vance Joy and many more. In 2021 Jeff returned home to EastWest studios as a permanent resident mixer in Studio 4.
