BLU

I really don't know how I haven't seen this artist's work before. I stumbled upon a clip of MUTO on Break, and immediately had to find the entire film.

It's unbelievable. Mind boggling. Indeed one of the most impressive and awe-inspiring animations I have ever seen. The amount of time and work put into this piece is mind blowing. Not only are these enormous paintings, but the artist displays a true talent for form, movement, and depth.

It's incredibly grotesque, but humorous and witty without feeling too immature. This film is particularly amazing:

This makes me want to be an animator. The illustration work is really nice too. Giant 30 foot illustrations on walls.

Unfortunately, I can't find much about the artist on the internet besides a great deal of work. The wikipedia page was removed/deleted (bizarre), and I can't find any pictures of him/her/them. If anyone has any good info, let me know.
