Bill Domonkos

Bill Domonkos, Title Unknown, (The Two Sisters)

Working with photographs, film clips, and illustrations lost to time, San Francisco-based filmmaker and stereoscopist Bill Domonkos creates darkly humorous animated GIFs. The resurrected photos merged with modern animation are almost completely nonsensical in subject matter and yet perfect in their execution, the more random the better.

George Redhawk

Animated Gifs by George Redhawk, DarkAngelOne

Before losing his sight, Native American George  Redhawk (aka DarkAngelOne) worked in various areas of medicine, teaching on subjects such as x-ray technology and phlebotomy. When his sight began to diminish, he turned to the world of animated GIFs because he thought that this was an accurate way of illustrating what was happening to his sense of vision.

Redhawk uses images from some of his favorite artists and animates them using visual aides and morphing software. He started creating GIFs as a way of communicating the surreal effects of vision loss but his GIF art makes us see the world through his eyes and inspires people to pursue their passions despite obstacles.

Entry into Desire

Artist Unknown, (Entry into Desire), Computer Graphics, Animation Gifs

“My desire and wish is that the things I start with should be so obvious that you wonder why I spend my time stating them. This is what I aim at because the point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.”
― Bertrand Russell, The Philosophy of Logical Atomism

Nancy Liang

Nancy Liang, “The Forgotten Sydney”, Computer Graphics, Endless Loop Gifs

Nancy Liang is a Sydney-based illustrator who focuses on the night tales of urban landscapes, city streets and the often forgotten places of suburbia. She represents these subject matters using drawing and kraft paper cutouts arranged in the visual form of a diorama. Her practice also extends off the page from print to animation, where she enjoys creating animated scenes and looping GIFs in her spare time on her blog ‘Over the Moon’. She is also an art tutor at the International Art Centre in Carlingford, NSW.

“The forgotten historic infrastructures of Sydney once held much significant value in the past, many posing as places for social, intellectual and cultural hubbub. Today they stand behind the backdrop of modern society, some reforged as commercial estates, others moth-eaten by nature and time.

The moths pictured draw loosely upon a Chinese belief. When a large butterfly or moth enters a house or a place it is the soul of a recently deceased visiting for the last time. In this case, it is spirit of the building bidding farewell to its physical form.” – Nancy Liang
