I am an NYC based illustration student at Parsons the New School for Design, with a passion for animation. This blog started when I was finding too many animations to have in my bookmarks, and now I'm obsessed with finding them.
Feel free to contact me with anything you'd like to share with me.
From the creator (who does a better job explaining this animation than I would):
Perihelion is a sort of animated tone poem. It is a short film that toes the line between narrative and non-narrative, essentially having no real beginning, middle or end. The idea being that you could start watching it at any point and it would (hopefully) have the same impact.
Visually, I was heavily inspired by the work of a number of German painters from the early 20th century. Notably: Otto Dix, Richard Oelze, Ingrid Griebel-Zietlow, Rudolf Schlichter and Max Ernst, as well as Francisco Goya. This is sort of a tribute to the work of these artists living in a time of Fascism and impending war, which really informed their work in a distinct way.
I want to pay a little more attention to this blog, so I updated it’s appearance and I’m on the prowl for new things to show you. Let me know what you think! Do you like it??
The BAFTA winning debut film from AKA Director Marc Craste - JO JO IN THE STARS is a 12 minute story of love, self-sacrifice, and jealousy played out against a black and white world that is both nightmarish and hauntingly beautiful.

This animation is incredible. I’ve watched it twice in the past half hour. Take a look.
