Artist of the Day: Lilli Carré

Lilli Carré is an illustrator and filmmaker in who lives in Chicago. She “primarily works in the forms of experimental animation, comics, and print.”

Lilli created a Tumblr specifically for her animated GIFS here. Making personal work in short animated loops provides a structure for Lilli to experiment with ideas and styles in manageable chunks. Some of the loops are extracted from larger film pieces, but are presented here as looping GIF files, extending the life of the work beyond the linear experience of a film.

The Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation is co-directed by Lilli and Alexander Stewart and focuses on “abstract and unconventional character animation.” The fourth annual edition will take place in Chicago this fall.

Her illustration work is collected here on her website, where you can also find mural work, sculpture and other creative endeavors.
