Jabari “Elicser” Elliott is a Canadian muralist and graffiti artist who turned aerosol energy into community storytelling. Born in Montreal in 1984, he spent childhood years in Saint Vincent helping his mother create carnival costumes, an immersion in color, rhythm and public celebration that still pulses through his paint. Back in Toronto he studied animation at Sheridan College after a high school art teacher steered him toward creative careers, yet he found truer expression on exterior walls than on a computer screen. Adopting the tag “Elicser,” he began filling blank brick across the city with flowing character based pieces: interlocking figures, swirling hair and botanical forms that feel half human, half breeze.

His process is improvisational, starting with a rough mental image then letting spray caps, fat caps and latex rollers guide the composition, building translucent layers until faces emerge from abstract clouds. Over two decades his murals have become landmarks of Toronto’s downtown core, stretching along alleyways, schoolyards, transit corridors and the iconic Rush Lane graffiti strip. Beyond personal work, Elliott teaches youth workshops that trace graffiti from New York subways to contemporary street art, encouraging students to channel rebellion into disciplined craft. Commercial commissions have arrived from Nike, Manifesto Festival and the City of Toronto itself, yet he balances paid projects with community walls that celebrate local heroes, Black history and Indigenous solidarity. Whether painting a thirty metre facade or a single roller piece, Elliott seeks the same goal: to replace grey concrete with vivid narratives that invite passersby to pause, reflect and feel a little more connected to the living city around them.
