Meet Kaylo

Super Kaylo is a pixel artist and animator from the UK, known for their emotional, 90s Y2K, gameboy aesthetic, character-driven creations that are built on restraint, meticulous detail and a compelling narrative. Their work, in pixel art and animation, sees them embrace limitations as a creative advantage. They often use small canvases, limited colour schemes and hand-drawn frames to convey emotion and movement.

Inspired by early video games, retro digital culture and pop culture icons, Super Kaylo’s work beautifully blends nostalgia with a modern edge. Each piece is crafted pixel by pixel, with a focus on strong silhouettes, precise timing and subtle expression, rather than grand displays.

In addition to their own projects, Super Kaylo has collaborated with artists and brands like Deftones, Porsche and SPECIALIZED, creating artwork that feels thoughtful, relatable and purposeful. They are eager to take on projects of all sizes, including commissions, collaborations, animation and experimental creative endeavours.
