zach's old animations and new visual art, updated every 25 to 60 days

I've only seen the film when it came out but I'll never forget Blue Velvet's opening shot. Don't get the intermission reference, but it looks great :)

i screened blue velvet at my house last night and it was going to serve as the intermission visualization while we all grabbed heinekens and/or PBRs!

only it was a hi-res version that covered an entire wall of my living room, not the tiny 490 px wide version there

always more always more

I like 'em both. But, Flappy Hands Mary... oh, my!

deal with it money gif is very very boss

so this is gonna be a thing i guess (though not so much atm)

ah man, too bad it's based off of tweets. i don't really tweet around too much

i kinda dig that it's so nation-neutral; most of those gifs are people i've never seen before

wait...this is just going to be a bunch of teenage celebrities, isn't it

it's going to be a thing

hey zs if you're still taking requests can i just

sure! what is that from?

shoot, i should look upthread, too. i feel like there were a few requests that i never got around to doing

its just a photo i took at a club

i think it has ~potential~

well i hit the whiskey a little too hard, so this'll have to do

i love it, thanks zs

i thought for sure you'd connect the two open mouths somehow but that would be an amateur move

GENIUS

pre gif-ed video!

Amazing

hahaha, that's great. i'm sure someone else will go to town on it

uh, so i was looking for one of my older gifs today - the camouflage walking guy gif, which for some reason has always been a big hit, had about 37,000 notes on tumblr, was shown at Miami Art Basel and BAM, etc - and couldn't find it. it just disappeared off of my blog. i finally found it via a google search:

whaaaa??

There are community guidelines?

whaaaa? that's scary.

this one:

http://media.tumblr.com/5423d4b45c7ddc6654692d39912a5400/tumblr_inline_mso2v185Sz1qz4rgp.gif

full disclosure: i grabbed the horizontal lines from a random google image search, and i got the silhouette by grabbing footage of a guy walking on youtube and drawing a lasso around his silhouette in 8 of the frames.

AWESOME!!

Have you contacted tumblr to find out what the deal is?

not yet, i just noticed about 10 minutes ago. and of course first made a whiny post on tumblr to complain about the injustice. it's the tumblr way. i'm not exactly sure who to contact tbh

If they get you for some blurrrrhed lines and some rando from youtube, then I'm fucking doomed with mine.

If Richard Prince can literally just take photograph certain images from Marlboro campaigns and sell them as original pieces of art, then surely I can take some lines and use them in a creative way without violating copyright, right?

at any rate i'm just going to repost it again, and keep doing it even if someone asks for it to be taken down, because that's bullshit, and also it would be the funniest case ever to appear in court

ok now i feel like a big overreacting jerk. the tumblr support team already got back to me:

"Hi Zach,

Sorry -- this is part of a known issue on Tumblr. We've restored your post."

dammit, i had visions of arguing with scalia about this shit

shit happens, you were right to be pissed off. at least it's fixed!

i think it also touched a nerve with a minor but persistent sense of guilt i have in often using elements of other people's images in my own

Eff that, you are OTM.

Recently I had a Nirvana cover I did removed for copyright reasons. No samples or anything in it, everything was performed by me, and I wasn't selling the track either. I understand your paranoia.

i cant believe no ones used the title KNOWN ISSUE for a thriller movie yet

Another cool tumblr of GIFs: http://billdomonkos.tumblr.com/

there's also probably a better place for this as well but I thought you'd get a kick out of it ZS

new batch

z s can you make this bear be smoking a cigarette, contemplatively (i guess i mean the puffs are infrequent)

if it's labour intensive then don't bother, i am imagining it anyway

hahaha, bearwithoutacare.gif
