Ryan Seslow is one of the biggest GIF nerds I know. He is a fan of quantity, saying in his artist statement, “GIF making gives me the feeling and excitement of an infinite creative potential. That feeling is a ton of power, ideas never cease, they just keep flowing. I stay out of my own way and keep making things. We can always make edits and judge what is quality later.”
Unsurprisingly, his Giphy page is a little uneven, but there’s enough work there that a viewer can find something that appeals. I liked the GIF above because it combines the assemble line-like movement of spray paint cans and static nintendo clouds to make an op art-esque GIF. Given the resurgence of Op Art in the art world, and interest in the genre within the GIF community, Seslow’s GIF seems particularly timely.
