Thank You!🎄🎅🏾🍎 I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the marvellous team at @apple for inviting me onto this project! First big thanks go to @jadecoles_ Head of cultural programming at 🍎 for collaborating with me on my Today at Apple Workshop I did in the summer. Which then led to being commissioned for the Christmas 🎄 Project. Matt, Dan, Raha and the rest of the events team that helped make that summer workshop so fun and creative. Then on the Christmas tree project team at @tbwamal Thank you so much to Katya, Tim, Mat, Lily, Harriet. Thank you Fumilayo for helping with an amazing launch event. Thank you to @jackwoodhams.photography for helping me make my videos. 🎥📸 Another big thank you to @munyachawawa for bringing the campaign to life and designing a very cool tree! To all the other artists involved in designing trees! 🎄 And finally to YOU who have supported me on my artistic journey…. You can see all the amazing tree designs from 5-10.30pm every night til December 24th @batterseapwrstn #AppleChristmasTrees #DrawnoniPad #Murugiah

From inspiration to film and form, we asked @_murugiah some questions about himself, his work and his upcoming exhibition MURUGIAH: Ever Feel Like… at Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration opening 5 June. Tickets available via the link in our bio! Thank you to @bagrifoundation for supporting this exhibition. #illustration #art #artist #illustrator #exhibition Alternative text: The illustrator MURUGIAH, wearing round glasses and a black outfit and apron, sits in front of a colourful canvas on an easel. Behind this, large cutouts of his fantastical creatures, including a tearful flower, are set against a curtained window.

Final paintings for my Debut Solo Show, Murugiah: Ever Feel Like… opening at the @qbcentre June 5th. For me my art is intrinsically linked to my identity and healing/growing as I move through life. I’m taking part in the countdown to Refugee Week (15-21 June) through the Simple Act of 'Get Drawing & Painting' Now it is my job 😊 but I’d be doing it even if it wasn’t because I love it so much. Through drawing and Painting, we can express ourselves, share stories and connect with one another. When we pick up a pencil or a brush, we have another medium to express the complexities of our lives. Do you want to take part in this year’s countdown to Refugee Week? Head to @refugeeweekuk to find out more.
