Artist: Rrrrrrrroll





I found these gifs on tumblr while I wasn't looking for art. They come from a group of friends/artists in Japan (who post them to a tumblr pretty regularly).

The .gif format is very pervasive on the internet right now, and on tumblr especially, but I like how this group pushes it past its normal uses (animating 2-frame self-shots and isolating video clips from shows). 

They have given themselves constraints--circular motion and the same model--but continue to generate interesting takes on it. I have spent some much time just watching these gifs loop, trying to deconstruct how they did some of them (like the spaghetti one).
