Wow, these animated .gif’s are brilliant! So simple, but yet so well made and original. I just love the proportions of static and motion. The compositions are top noch too, full of details, a good dose of weirdness and unique style. Thumbs up for RRRRRRRROLL_GIF!
Yes, Roll_gif is yet another artistic .gif project that deserves your attention, but just look at the pictures above! Created by a group of Japanese creatives it celebrates the madness that is animated .gif and the possibilities it holds within.
Ever since Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg created Cinemagraphs, the 25 year old format is in its renaissance, more popular than ever, and Roll_gif is straight in the middle of it all.
With Roll_gif it’s all in the name, created to spin and turn these .gif’s are made to remind us that time is passing by and only few things can be truly stuck in time. As for Roll_gif’s, the guys behind it are making two animations every week, so you should stick around.

You can watch only so much sports this rainy weekend. The rest is rain. Intruding, interrupting, damaging, but at the same time very much spectacular, alive and chilling. Nature in action, best dealt with by dancing and jumping in puddles, or with a sturdy umbrella above your head. This is the latter.

It starts slowly, but you feel it instantly. It creeps in and spreads reaching all the tiniest parts of your mind. My mind. Out of nowhere, out of the blue.
Blocking, clogging and invading.
Suddenly my mind starts spinning faster. Spinning on the spot, without a clue, without a purpose.
It spins faster and faster and faster.
Overdrive. Gear panic.
I feel like freaking out. Or actually, I am freaking out. It’s panic. Pure. Scary. Instant.
Just a minute ago I was here. Talking, thinking, watching, observing, but now I’m locked inside my head and I want to get out.
Fast.
Something set my nerves on edge.
They are on edge.
I have no grasp on anything.
Anything.
I’m running circles inside my head.
I run faster and faster and faster.
Going nowhere. Freaking out. Looking for a way out.
No grasp on anything.
It’s my tiny panic attack.
Tiny. Panic. Attack.
Computer malfunction. Spinning on empty.
Three hundred seconds and it ends.
It ends instantly, but the feelings come back slowly. It floods every corner of my mind. Your mind. Out of nowhere, out of the blue.
My fingers tingle as blood rushes through my veins bringing me back to normality.
I sigh and look through the window.
I’m still here. In normality. My corner of reality.
Breath in.
Exhale. Or sigh.
Probably sigh.

Before you get your beer goggles on, these two quirky animated creatures by Jessica Nielsen are for you.
Enjoy your weekend!

We all live according to a set of rules. They are learned, hardwired and forced upon. They are broken, twisted and fixed to our liking. Some of them are more important than the others. Such as, if you fall, make it a good one, if you blow something up, make it heard, if you are walking down the street, stride like you own it, and more, much more.
However, I have no clue who is behind these short animations, but whoever it is, my thumbs are up, and if you happen to know the source let me know, otherwise follow the rules above and blow things up.

When all I can think is summer, warmth, vacations and cold beers, my pints are full of hot tea. It looks kinda same, but it is far from it.
This particular pint was made by Johan Thörnqvist an illustrator who adds something extraordinary to his ordinary phone pictures. Animation courtesy to Made By ABVH if I understand correctly.
