Katy Daft

Katy Daft is an illustrator and animator based in the UK. A graduate of Kingston School of Art, her work combines simple shapes with fluid movements to create a surreal, colourfully abstract world laced with humour. Katy's animations blend the everyday with the absurd, inspired by stick and poke tattoo designs, ancient representations of women, childhood TV shows, memes, and The Sims. She creates short gifs, animated loops, music videos, editorial illustrations, and printed matter. During lockdown, she absorbed the world around her more intensely, creating work that connects with viewers and brings joy during difficult times. Her animations feature oddball characters with simple circular heads that allow for easy transitions.
