1. Sachin Teng
Sachin mixes realistic styles with the cartoonish and and glitched-out. He's illustrated for Adidas, Wired, and the New Yorker, among others. Read one of his Photoshop drawing tutorials here.
2. Rebecca Mock
Brooklyn-based illustrator and MICA grad. The movements in her GIF paintings tend to be subtle, atmospheric. Her works have appeared in the New York Times and the Adventure Time comics covers.
4. Jen Lee
China-based animator, a known preferrer of hand-drawn over CGI who seemingly practices some sort of calligraphy-animating witchcraft.
Hilarious, pop-inflected, and terrifyingly prolific. Have you seen her collaborations with Octopus Pie's Meredith Gran?
7. Ryan Andrews
Ryan may not draw in GIFs very often, but it's a delight when he does. He's done comics like Sarah and the Seed and Our Bloodstained Roof (which was nominated for an Eisner Award).
8. Cindy Suen
9. Boulet
10. Uno Moralez
Moscow-based pixel painter, a sinister and unique take on old computer game aesthetics.
11. Robin Davey
A London-based artist, animator, and director inspired by mid-century illustrations.
A very different sort of illustration. Matthew DiVito is a motion graphic artist who creates geometric, often cosmic-seeming scenes in Gifs.
13. Christina Lu
Our lovely co-worker and illustrator! Sundae Stroll won the 2013 PBS Thirteen Reel 13 Tumblr Month Contest.
15. Paul Robertson
16. Miguel Co
Illustrator whose works have appeared in the New York Times. Miguel's use of animation is spare but essential to the drawings they appear in.
18. KCLogg
Animator and game designer based in Russia, with a delightful ability to make color pencil drawings into mesmerizing loops.
20. Nicolas Menard
Artist and director from Montreal. If screen prints came alive, they'd probably look like Nicolas' Gif animations. Check out his short films.
