The .Gif Friday Post No.242 – CYRIAK

We’ve been posting Cyriak Harris‘ odd .gif animations occasionally for years without knowing that he was the original source. I never connected them with the videos that Bunkarina turned me onto (like “Cows and Cows and Cows“). The guy is brilliantly talented and one of the most entertaining animation artists I’ve seen since Terry Gilliam.

All three .gifs from Cyriak’s jawdropping website: here, here and here.

Strainer Face

He’s got a mind like a sieve.

Project Much?

[Found here, and posted to make up for this.]

Professional Shadow Puppetry

I can make a pretty good rabbit, donkey, swan and an elephant, but those three are professionals.

Yeah, I know, so don’t bother. XD

Update: Greetings to all you folks who came here from Gentlemint. Have a look around, just leave some breadcrumbs so you can find your way back out again. Tip o’ the tarboosh to Pets Lady for the links, and both sites have been added to our blogroll.

Happy Trails

Rhinehart’s Guitars are amazing. With this one you can play both kinds of music – Country AND Western. He’s got custom guitars for every genre you can think of including some that you can’t.

Monster Moosh

Serious 3D Nightmares, created by kids and enhanced by *ahem* adults. More can be found here; related post here. Boogah boogah.

Great watercolor paintings of scenes from war-torn Afghanistan by British illustrator Matthew Cook. [Kudos to TR reader Nikolay Kotev for posting it.]

If you haven’t seen the vid posted here, it’s worth the 15 minutes. An OWS boy learns about collectivism from someone who lived in Soviet Russia… and he LISTENS.

Orlando Florida, home of Disney World, Epcot Center, and these pretty people.

Give your kids nightmares the easy way. Buy these. Sin duda todos estaremos de acuerdo en que el mejor sitio es delante de la taza del váter.

The latin name for it is Blobimus Maximus.

Any of you on Twitter? I am, but only for the purposes of collecting followers with the promise of tweeting absolutely no content. 20 or so get the joke. I haven’t “followed” anyone, yet I’ve been pre-blocked and reported as a spammer by some.
Think about that.

This a must read for everyone. We’re talking Freedom of Speech.

The .Gif Friday Post No.227 – Water Nymph, Fashion Ghost & REDЯUMp

[Found here, here and here.]

That REDЯUMp .gif belongs to jaw-dropper Christina Hendricks. We’re told she had a birthday yesterday, May 3rd.

[An aside: Today is the 42nd Anniversary of something that went down on May 4th 1970, and it’s eerily similar to what’s going down today. Pay attention.]

The .Gif Friday Post No.226 – Starry Night, Blue Wiggle Girl & Creepy Sharpie Man

[Found here, here and here.]

Tropical Aliens

Better hide the women and children. This doesn’t look good.
