Sally Cruikshank





















"Sally Cruikshank is a self-taught animator whose distinctive style is fairly well known, despite her moniker being far from a household name. Her art is instantly recognizable for its whimsical, nodescript characters, bright colors, and surreal environments that often give life to inanimate objects. (Not surprisingly, Cruikshank holds Max Fleischer cartoons among her biggest influences.) " quote taken from here.

I usually keep the animation stuff on my other blog but what the hell. Watch these cartoons!!!

Sibylle Ruppert






















There's something incredibly horrifying about the way Ruppert meshes human anatomies into wicked contorted masses of abstract shape. This spider like form resembles a mass of bodies forced together into a monster in hell.
