eBoy is a pixel art studio founded in 1997 by Kai Vermehr, Steffen Sauerteig, and Svend Smital. It is based in Berlin and Los Angeles. The studio's 8-bit-style work draws on popular culture and commercial imagery, rendered as three-dimensional isometric illustrations of cityscapes populated with robots, cars, and topless women.
eBoy has attracted a following among graphic designers. Design critic Steven Heller compared them to "what Roy Lichtenstein was to Ben-Day dots and comics." Their illustrations have been reproduced as posters, shirts, and souvenirs, and exhibited in galleries.
