Sküt

Sküt, also known as Scott Lewallen, is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist, designer, and entrepreneur whose work sits at the intersection of public art, technology, Pride, and community.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Sküt studied at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and built a career blending graphic design, digital culture, and large-scale creative expression. He is widely known as the original designer and co-founder of Grindr, and his art practice has expanded across murals, sculpture, dimensional wall pieces, immersive installations, projection, light mapping, and bold graphic works.

Sküt’s visual language is bright, solid, nostalgic, and unmistakably optimistic. His work often uses hearts, rainbows, pop references, and layered color to create moments of joy and recognition. In West Hollywood, his Pride-focused public art has become closely tied to themes of LGBTQ+ visibility, Queer history, community, equity, and belonging.

For Moving Canvas, Sküt brings that same spirit to a new public surface: a Serve robot moving through the city.

Sküt’s designs transformsour robot into a moving Pride artwork built around color, symbolism, and connection.

The design draws from the legacy of Gilbert Baker’s original Pride flag, where each color carried its own meaning. Sküt reinterprets those colors through original vector iconography, giving each hue an aspirational quality and bringing them together through the shape of a heart.

The result is bright, graphic, joyful, and instantly recognizable. It is designed to stand out on the street, spark conversation, and create a moment of public celebration as the robot moves through the community.

Design inspiration: Pride, Gilbert Baker’s original flag, LGBTQ+ visibility, West Hollywood, public art, original iconography, hearts, color, joy, and community connection.

Design personality: Bold, joyful, proud, loving, and unmistakably visible.
