Ahhh the month of January, when everyone everywhere is on some kind of detox or swearing off last year’s bad habits for good. Whatever the case, we can all use some relaxing GIFs to get ourselves in that zen mood.

Alastair Gray

I personally would shrink myself for an hour so I can take a walk through this snow white rug forest. Who’s with me?

New Zealand-based animator Alastair Gray makes some of the smoothest 4D work you’ve ever seen. He’s a self-taught master of texture, so don’t be surprised if you can’t look away from his loops.

Simon Falk

“Blue skies with a chance of pastel rose petals” — that’s what the weatherman probably announced over in a better dimension where there’s no such thing as blizzards.

Toronto-based artist Simon Falk loves his cold pastels and he owns it. Repost for your light pink aesthetics.

Ryan Gordon

Honestly, this reminds me of my friends and I rolling home under the influence — of some major food coma. You know, just the squad hurrying home in this polar vortex after a huge Italian meal.

On Ryan Gordon’s page, there’s no shortage of orbs. Shown plopping into a volcano, bouncing into a mason jar, and pulsing like a sentient disco ball, there’s nothing they can’t do.
