Yeye Weller is a UK artist who paints joy. Born in 1990 and raised in Eastbourne, he studied illustration at the University of Brighton, where he began translating beach town energy into bold digital prints. Working under the playful alias “Yeye,” he crafts flat, brightly coloured scenes that celebrate everyday pleasure: ice-cream cones, sunbathers, vintage cars and smiling dogs float across pastel skies like postcards from an endless summer. His process starts with quick pencil doodles, which are scanned and refined in Procreate. Simple shapes are layered, offset and filled with candy pinks, mint greens and butter yellows, creating a retro print aesthetic that nods to 1950s travel posters and 1980s surf graphics. Figures are reduced to essential outlines, yet each face carries a distinct grin, inviting viewers to project their own happiness onto the canvas.

Weller’s optimistic vision has attracted commercial clients including Adidas, Ray-Ban and National Geographic, yet he balances paid work with personal projects that keep the spirit loose. Limited-edition screen prints are released through online galleries such as They Made This, often selling out within hours. Each print is hand-pulled on heavyweight cotton paper, signed and numbered, then packaged with stickers and a hand-written thank you, reinforcing the friendly tone that runs through every aspect of his practice.

Beyond the studio, Weller paints public murals in coastal towns, transforming dull seawalls and shop shutters into vibrant playgrounds. Whether designing a beer label or a six-metre beach scene, he approaches each project with the same goal: spread colour, spark smiles and remind viewers that happiness is always within reach.
