Aleksei Bitskoff

Aleksei Bitskoff is an illustrator whose work blends a distinctive sense of humour with dreamlike, imaginative worlds. Originally from Estonia, he went on to study illustration at the London College of Communication before completing an MA at Camberwell in 2010.

Influenced by Russian illustrators and animators, as well as Tove Jansson, his work features playful characters, subconscious patterns and a gently surreal quality. Alongside this, he creates thoughtful and encouraging illustrated quotes, bringing warmth and positivity to his imagery—ideal for greetings cards, motivational gifts and a wide range of products.

Now working digitally, Aleksei continues to develop ideas through sketchbook doodling, where many of his characters first take shape.
