Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I used to really dislike the tedious nature of animation. It takes hours and sometimes days to get small amounts of work accomplished. As I’ve gotten older, I enjoy the medium a lot more.
- Carol Wyatt.
Something I take away from this quote by Wyatt is that we should learn to embrace the hard parts of our work. If something is difficult that is typically the area to make something great. Those that are willing to deal with the difficult parts of work are usually the ones that stand out.
какая драма из-за грамма (some drama due to gram) by Dmitry Rebus Larin in Moscow, Russia.
Is there anyone like Rebus Larin? I love the different states-of-mind shown on the shirts.

As Yet To Be Titled by Jennifer Poon in San Francisco, California.
This piece by Poon has been sitting in my Drafts for a few weeks because I haven’t been able to come up with an accurate way to describe how I feel about it.
I think this is simply gorgeous. It is subtle. It is romantic. It is full of emotion. I love it.
Art is man’s expression of his joy in labor.

Video: Acid Drops by Matthew Box.
In an interview in The Atlantic Box lets us know how created this video.
“It’s an old animation technique called rotoscoping, but I didn’t know that at the time though. It’s essentially tracing over stills of footage. While I was experimenting with this technique I used different colors and really enjoyed how it had a psychedelic feel. That’s when I came up with the name Acid Drops for the project. It was a lot of painting but I’m kind of an amateur insomniac. It gave me something to do when I couldn’t sleep and it’s quite addictive seeing something you’ve painted come to life.”
Manifesto by Matheus Lopes in Brazil.
Lopes’ style is both unique and captivating. The lower half of Manifesto appears old, timeless, while the upper half seems vibrant and new. Awesome.
You can purchase prints of his work or you can buy some of his work on Threadless.

Zebra Drinking by Alison Nicholls in Port Chester, NY.
It is no secret that I’m a big, big fan of Alison Nicholls’ work. She’s been featured here on the gallery many times and my interview with her has been one of my favorites.
It turns out she has some limited edition field sketches for sale.
