Gif Art

Back in the early days of the internet, animated GIFs were the bane of just about everyone. Their annoying, jarring graphics and often painfully bright colours were enough to drive anyone crazy.

Particularly irritating was when they were used as avatars in chat rooms or forums, and we’d have to watch their stupid dancing polar bear dancing or sneezing kitten a thousand times before finally just leaving the page in frustration.

Some people still use the unfortunately annoying animated GIFs, but there’s a whole new crop of artists who are using this long-maligned vehicle to express their creativity.

I Love Dust

I Love Dust are a creative agency, with offices in London and Southsea, that specialise in illustration, animation and design. We saw the Nike Chase video online and decided to investigate further and found that the same company was responsible for lots of other things that had caught our eye recently.

They ply their trade in 2 contrasting studio spaces; one located in the heart of East London, the other on the tip of the south coast. Just a short stroll from the ocean and surrounded by the rolling Hampshire countryside, the south coast team enjoy a distinct vantage point working in a former butcher’s workshop. Conversely rooted in the heart of creative hub Shoreditch, the London studio thrive on the buzz and energy of the city in a converted tool-maker’s foundry.

So what can we say apart from we love I Love Dust.
