    @eejits  Your delightful little "Eejits" books, badge, and the Bahoochie card game arrived today, all the way from Scotland in 10 days!   A Christmas card I mailed from South Carolina (USA) to New York City (USA) ---a distance of 650 miles -- took 19 days.  Amazing.  George, your book is charming.  All the entries are wonderful.  My favorites are definitely Eejitus sphagnum whoosh and Eejitus grimble snort -- both the illustrations and the poem are inspired. (The little knife and fork are such a splendid touch.)  And the numbers of inventive little Eejits in the game are a delight.  I predict that the gentle whimsy, remarkable drawings, and lovely colors are going to take the world by storm.  Even down to those four tiny little fellows on the back cover.  Small children should be entranced by the pictures, and their parents will definitely have a slightly r-rated chuckle!

    Affinity Designer in the hands of a genius is beyond compare!!

    For my own amusement, I had written some doggerel for several of your little creatures over the past several months when bored.  I am delighted to know that I wasn't wrong about Eejitus whatyoumeanshareium. 

    My version, really more for adults than little ones.

    This cookie's mine, you silly fool!
    Want me to share? The Golden Rule?
    Think chocolate chips just grow on trees?
    Or in a hive, saved there by bees?
    Find your own 'cause I don't care.
    Oops, I'm alone. No friends out there?

    Aww. Thank you so much. I don’t think I’ve had such a wonderful review or write up. You’ve really made my night.

    I’m just so happy they got there safely. Good ol’ UK/USA  post offices!

    I really hope that this is the year that a lot more kids and parents take notice o’ my wee eejits. They’ve been bumbling around here long enough, some of them have eaten all the biscuits and others are annoying the dog. They really need to go out into the wider world and explore. Release some o’ that pent up energy!!

    Man, I so happy. Thank you once again for the kind words!

    Happy Hogmanay and New Year to you too, to everyone here. Thank you for your kind words, I look forward to hearing what you think about my wee book and its rhymes.

    I love your A lost soul wee rhyme! 😂 what does the last line mean though? Does he have more than just coal?

    I’m working on new eejits stuff for 2021 and then we’re off to the big boys! Exciting!

    @eejits  I am so glad you have finished your first book.  I have ordered four copies, plus your Bahootchie game and look forward to giving them as special presents.  With a few months to go, I hope you will consider a boxed set (4 or 6) of assorted Christmas cards.  In the USA they ought to be sold at Barnes and Noble!   For a handsome sum.

    Thank you so much my dear. They’re now winging their way from Scotland to you in the USA. Hopefully they get there soon and safely. I agree. It would be a dream (one that I am chasing) to get eejits into large stores like that. I’m looking at the success of the Trolls franchise and wanting to emulate that (like many people are, I suppose).

    thanks again

    George

    I love them all!

    I absolutely understand the meter and syllables stuff of poems. It’s what I struggled with when creating the new eejits book. It’s full o’ creatures and rambunctious rhymes. Obviously there are some better than others but it was a lot of fun working them out and trying to get the meter right. It’s bloody tricky.

    Thank you guys for your continued inventiveness and creativity. Your inspiring me to get my finger outta my ass and get more eejit Greetin’ Cards done. I only have two in my shop.....

    Oh hello guys and gals! Missed you!

    Thanks Guys for the comments, continued support and the questionable rhymes (in fact - they’re a lot better than what I can do!) 😂😂😂

    I haven’t mentioned it here but this year I entered ‘eejits’ into the Brand Licensing Europe contest - LicenseThis! a contest for unsigned brands to get into the licensing biz! I am delighted to say that I won the Character & Animation category!! This will hopefully open a lot of doors for eejits next year. 2021 will be awesome whatever happens. Can’t wait to see what happens.

    Cheers guys,

    George

    So, I was on a webinar recently by an animation studio and found it very useful plus the costs of a 52 week 11 minute show costs millions to make!

    Anyway, playing around with some more ideas using Affinity Designer and Final Cut. Eventually I’ll put something together to pitch to a studio. As much as I would love to, there’s no way I can do this all on my own.

    Who's joining Professor Fox in his super duper flying machine? There's space for you all @MattP @eejits

     

    Superb stuff. Always love seeing you add more and more to the work you do on My Strawberry Monkey. It’s a shared dream - I’d love to see eejits animated too. It’s not something I can do myself. Nice to see you take the reins yourself. How is Final Cut to work with? Look forward to seeing where the My Strawberry Monkey goes next.

    Jeepers, it has been a long, long, while since I've popped on here to share some eejits with you guys. Everything you see here is now exclusively done on Affinity Designer on the iPad. Its  blast to work on (there are some niggles but nothing major) and it's great to be able to work from anywhere and get outta the office every once in a while!

    On another note (and as discussed above), in my attempt to fix the http://www.eejits-online.co.uk website, I completely knackered it. So there's nothing there at the moment. Most of my stuff is now posted on Instagram and Patreon (which is crammed full o' exclusive content and I would love for you guys to check oot).

    Anyhoo, enough rambling. Here is the eejitus definitelynotmrtickle-ium  - a creature that loves to trick and scam others (and is particularly fond o' giving the odd wedgie!)

    Woohoo! How are ye?!?

    Hope you're happy and care free on this Friday like the partying eejit here. Lives for the moment and "screw tomorrow" until the tomorrow becomes the Hangover.

    (But please do remember you young people that are old enough - drink responsibly!)

    I've just stumbled across this thread and immediately had to buy your colouring book as a birthday pressie for my little nephew. I love what you're doing here, keep it up!

    Cheers from a fellow Scot :D

    Awww. Thank you! That’s so, so kind. I do hope your nephew loves the book! Thanks for taking a look at my wee creatures and for being awesome!!

    I love these characters. You are aware that only the homepage of your site works, right? Clicking on any links to pages on the site results in a 404 error....

    Cheers! Yeah, unfortunately the site has been compromised so I have to scrap it and start a new one. When I say 'start' I mean I'll get to it one day..... I'm focussing on updating my social media feeds (mainly Instagram and Twitter - @eejits on both) and my Patreon (where I add exclusive sketches, colouring-in pages and mail out Prints & Stickers to backers).

    Good morning folkies!

    A new eejit is here just for you (just you!) Meet eejitus sunflooweris - a creature who is friends with nature and all creatures great and small. Like a ray o’ sunshine :D However, wrong him or it’s friends and you’ll see it’s not-so-sunny side!!

    George

    P.S. Forgive the selfless self promotion, but I would LOVE to have you visit the eejits Patreon page. I upload loads o’ exclusive sketches and posts. Plus there are some FANTASTIC rewards posted out to members each and every month. Gee it a look over at www.patreon.com/eejits
