David Ope is a “Animated GIF Artist”, something I’ll admit I didn’t even know existed. He creates various mesmerizing, if not a little eye-straining, animated GIFs. Many are his own designs — mostly black and white striped compositions — but others are found media pieces featuring everything from himself as a baby to solar flares. I’ve included stills of some of his work above, click each to view the animated version — didn’t want to get all Geocities on you.
Be sure to check out his blog, where you’ll find all sorts of interesting work beyond his own portfolio, like this superb example below (possibly the best animated GIF ever made). Amazing to see people pushing a near-dead medium in such interesting directions.

I hate you. That was the most amazingly worst thing to watch right before going to bed. I’ll report back in the morning if I experience some freaky dreams.
That was amazing.
I seriously love his stuff.
Some of those effects are cool. Some just made me fell sick!
I never thought I would like animated gifs, but his are mesmerizing and really lovely in their simplicity. My brain has probably been scrambled just a little bit.
Wow. That is seriously impressive. All that beauty and you posted the CLOCK ?? 🙂
Rafdevis-
It’s not just a clock! It’s a Braun clock… http://dssurl.com/dr
Check out Dieter Rams, his work informs a lot of the more beautiful things around us to this day.
@Scott My parents got 2 of them. And they are amazing indeed (sadly both broken). But still … a set of painfully amazing eye-twisting mind-boggling works like this and you post the simple clock! 🙂
I accidentally looked at this posting at 10:10am. and was thinking about some JavaScript before I realized it’s just a gif:-)
I found David’s stuff quite some time ago and his work is just amazing and mind scrambling!
how do you always get such beautiful pictures, i really don’t know… i love the clock!
You always find such beautiful pictures, I like that! The Clock is the best, i love it.
