Working fluidly across analogue and digital, Clayton sketches by hand before refining his pieces in Illustrator or Photoshop. In his personal practice, he experiments with acrylics, pencil, watercolour and murals — always chasing expressive colour and rhythm. He’s also well-versed in 2D animation, using frame-by-frame, After Effects, or even Figma to bring his characters to life. A cassette tape collector and compulsive pandeiro player, Clayton brings the same joy and musicality to his work that he brings to his daily life.
