DeeKay Kwon, better known as just DeeKay, is a digital artist known for his animations inspired by retro computer games such as Super Mario. DeeKay spent over a decade working as a digital animator for companies like Google and Apple. Then, in 2021, with a strong NFT collector base already established, he announced on X that he’ll be making art full-time. And it makes sense that his work is so popular. His animations are nostalgic, fun and visually satisfying. There’s a lightheartedness to his work that’s infectious which appears to come from his down-to-earth approach and ethos. In his own words: “I just want to make people smile with my art and make enough money to continue this activity until the day I die.”
