Baaa: experiments in ovine geometry

Cyriak Harris, one of my favorite animators, has a new one out. It's called Baaa and is about multiplying, mutant sheep. [Cyriak via Laughing Squid]

  Terrifyingly beautiful. A unique talent.

  Woohoo! At least, we are leaving the age of spherical bovines behind!
  I, for one, welcome our fractal ovine overlords.

  Just wonderful.

  It is an impressive advertisement, but I must caution anyone against buying livestock from Cyriak. I tried raising some of his cows & cows & cows. Long before you get them to market, you’ll wreck yourself installing all the electric fence necessary to keep them contained.

  ‘shopped. You can tell by the pixels.

• [amanicdroid]

  Nifty and surreal but I spent the whole video annoyed by the stupid, dangly tail.

  The most disturbing part is that it somehow has more likes than views.

  Sandwiched between pages of hideous things, a wonderful thing! Yay.

  Anyone else have flashbacks to The Thing?

  Cyriak is like LSD on Terry Gilliam.

  • [querent]

    hm…

• [Doctor Device]

  I think I saw some things during that video that had previously only been mentioned in ‘The Call of C’thulhu’ and ‘At the Mountains of Madness’…

• [fatuousplatitudes]

  OK, OK, too weird for me (shudders)

  • [tsa]

    I see I’m not the only one. :)

  We’re gonna need a bigger pair of Wellies.

  Also, wouldn’t St. James Infirmary Blues be more appropriate?

• [mark.leaman]

  Great animation! Also a great analogy to how I’m feeling about social media these days… all of it.

  Cyriak is just the kind of guy who can’t play with LEGOs unless you give him a blow torch.

  It was great to see his stuff on Adult Swim. The guy deserves every bit of success he gets and more. :D

• [gths]

  Well, that’s my nightmare fuel for tonight sorted.

• [Robert]

  Well, that was… non-Euclidean. I was kinda hoping to see a poptart and a rainbow, though.

• [wastrel]

  I love this so much.
