Sküt

Sküt aka Scott Lewallen is an artist native to Los Angeles. Best known as cofounder and original designer of Grindr, Scott is an active member of the gay community and currently lives in West Hollywood, California. Inspired by the ambiguous finale to the 1982 neo-noir film Blade Runner, Unicorn Origami symbolizes a mantra to live life free of judgement with a hunger for curiosity. Ask questions, embrace diversity, and above all love unconditionally. This piece reflects a personal commentary on how such small symbols can influence a soul, impact its journey, and implore you to “Revel In Your Time.”
