Time and time again I’ve heard or read of designers/artists/creatives cite nature as one of their strongest influences. Taking a closer look at vertebrate that travel in groups, its hard not to be mesmerized and easy to see where offset keyframing and particle generation projects have been sourced.

Potentially NSFW (depending on where you work). Some crazy ass anime for DyE’s new single, Fantasy from Tigersushi Records & Fur. Directed by animation wunderkind Jérémie Périn, the video tells the story of a group of highschool kids ready for teenage mischief. They break into the local swimming pool intending a session of innocent nightswimming, in an awkward climate of romance and apprehension. What happens next is for you to discover here.
The image above titled BLACK OUT is a 102 x 72cm charcoal on paper.
