  I’d imagine that the name “Max” and the Ray-Bans aren’t coincidental.

Entertaining guy. He reminded me of one the characters from Richard Linklater’s film Slacker, in a “Where are they now?” kind of way.

  I found it really hard to tell if he was putting it on or not. Entertaining either way.

I will venture here to say that his animated GIFs are postmodern, combining in them glitch art, pixel art, movies and stuff I cannot even start to describe. The fact that he uses the name Max Capacity is probably not a coincidence as he has a lot of work to show up for. I can spend hours jumping from his Flickr site to his Tumblr site to his YouTube channel checking out his universe of prolific creation.
