Cyriak the animator

Are any of you familiar with the British animator Cyriak? He's been around a while, initially doing an animation style reminiscent of Monty Python animations, but way crazier. More recently his work has exploded into this sort of maximalized insanity, very thought provoking with a touch of wry humor. I think this first one (one of his most recent) has DMT written all over it:


These two involve some very over-the-top wild and wacky reenvisioning of your basic farm animals:


There's quite a bit more, but these are my favorites so far. Anyone else sense a whiff of the spice in that first one?
 
Oh man!!! Cyriak has been on my youtube fave's list for a long time! I don't know why I never thought to post any of his vids up here! The sheep one was one of my first exposures to this nut. I don't know what it is, but his videos tickle my funny bone in such a profoundly strange way.

The first video is very DMT-esque. Man, if I had a trip like that, I'd be rolling on the floor, dying of laughter. That video got me laughing pretty hard as it was!

I am definitely getting into his videos next mushroom trip.
 
With the 'faces' animation, when it starts forming the hypercubes, and rocket ships, it's just like "woah....he's been there, and thank you for bringing it back for us to behold again and again"
 
Just found his website. It turns out, he's also a pretty kick ass illustrator. Some of his drawings are really cool!

Here's a video he just put up that is pretty brilliant.

yeah, love Cyriak. his music is pretty cool too. I particularly like the music in this video and the vid has loads of British tv personality in jokes.

This French dude did a metal version of the music from the above video. it rocks to high heaven...
