Hand-drawn animations by Jake Fried

quote [Jake Fried (1984) began his artistic career as a painter, but as he went through the process of layering and modifying images, he realized what truly interested him was the way the images metamorphosed in the course of making a painting and he changed tracks to become an animator. In recent years his films have been widely shown internationally, including at the Tate Modern, Sundance Film Festival and on Adult Swim. Fried works with ink and white-out, sometimes adding gouache, collage and even coffee to generate hallucinatory vistas, modifying and shooting the images over and over to create mind-bending animations that evolve at a frenzied pace. He currently teaches at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Art Prints available at society6.com/jakefried]. More video work.

Mutoscope Animations by Marc Blackie

I've always had a sort of reverence for Marc Blackie's works. Among photography and video his black and white creepy world reached a new dimension, not just erotic photography or video, but mainly a transmedia art experience around uncommon fetishisms.

His new works, Mutoscope Animations inspired by the Victorian Mutoscope machines, it's a new turn of the screw in the direction of photographic animations. Individual photos (generally 50 - 100) animated using javascript as a reminiscence of the old peepshow/mutoscope machines.
