Strange and Hypnotic GIF Animations

These mysteriously elegant GIF animations by Croatian artist Paolo (aka Patakk). Each hypnotizing piece seems to suggest something alive, whether it be energetically active like an explosive chemical reaction or subtly gentle like a strange creature at rest. At any rate, they are well worth a look. Here are my favorites, but more can be seen on his site linked below.

Grimm Google Doodle

I feel like I keep posting Google Doodles, but I can't help it... They keep churning them out really cool. Here's the one for the 200th anniversary of Grimm's Fairy Tales, illustrating the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The graphics are simple, yet expressive and a lot of fun. The artist's non-violent solution to the ending is also pretty funny.

Check it out here.

Hilarious Illustrations by Nacho Díaz Arjona

This is some work by hilarious and talented t-shirt illustrator Nacho Díaz Arjona. He seems to love taking everyday objects and situations and putting them into bizarre situations. His portfolio is a perfect combination of cuteness and morbidity... but always funny.

Edit: Mac fans will appreciate this new one.
