America the Gift Shop

Posted by dave


Imagine that every atrocity committed by the United States in the 21st Century had its own souvenir! Oh my, what a family discussion we could have. Luckily, Philip Toledano has already taken the liberty.

And if you like to take liberty, why not buy your own Abu Ghraib coffee table?  Great for covert operatives of all ages.

I’ve been waiting for this to pop up on youtube for two years now.  It was made by Daniel Nocke, it’s all in German, it’s filled with awkward animals, and I love it.

Cyriak’s Bizarre and Often Disturbing Animations

Posted by jon

Cyriak is a freelance animator from the U.K. This particular video is a short called Robogran. However, I first discovered Cyriak though his “animation mixes”—little bits of leftover animation collected off of his hard drive and set to music. Here’s a mix from 2007 and one from 2009.
