Computer Graphics Tapestries
Description: To everyone else, they are just a row of geometric shapes. To animators, motion designers, and video editors, they represent countless hours spent adjusting keyframes, refining easing, and moving things one frame at a time. This minimalist “If You Know You Know” design celebrates the symbols behind digital animation and motion graphics. It is an understated visual joke for anyone who works with timelines, interpolation, keyframes, and the graph editor—or anyone who has ever insisted that an animation still needs “just one more adjustment.” A great gift for animators, motion designers, video editors, VFX artists, film students, design educators, and creative professionals who understand that not all keyframes are created equal.

Description: Founded in Denver, Colorado in 1960 by Lee Harrison, Computer Image Corporation (CIC) was in the business of making analog computer graphics in the early '70s. These unique machines included the Animac, CAESAR, and Scanimate graphics systems, though it's without question that Scanimate that is Harrison's crowing achievement. As the final and most advanced system created by CIC, Scanimate was an analog computer animation system (video synthesizer) created in 1969. Scanimates were used to produce a significant portion of the video-based animation seen in TV commercials, show titles, and other graphics. Since they could create animations in real time, this helped the system to supersede film-based animation techniques for television graphics.
Description: I know the inventor of the GIF said it was pronounced 'JIF', but personally, I'm for team Hard G. I think he was just wrong, I don't know why it would be a soft G. It stands for Graphics Interchange Format and you don't say Jraphics Interchange Format, right? Anyway, GIF's are the best thing on the internet. Period.
Description: Digital illustration drawn in Corel Painter with Smooth Airbrush, Chalks and various other Brushes. King Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn, Stirling in Scotland 1314 AD. This Battle took place between Armies from Scotland and England and resulted in a significant Victory for Bruce and the Scots. Estimates as to the size of Edward the II of England's force range from two to three times that of Bruce to only fifty percent larger. This Year, 2014, sees the 700th Anniversary of the Battle. My interpretation of this scene from Scottish History. I've tried to create an atmospheric feel.
