Thanks for these! His lighting always makes me squee and there were a few in the second link I had never seen.

The second set seems to betray a greater sense of humor than the first.

This is good, because I have to do my taxes, and now I won't sleep instead, today or ever again.

These are amazing! This is my kind of deal! It always seems to me that artists who make things like these usually make them blurry or dreamlike, which is all well and good, but I find the sharp clarity of these perfectly frightening.

This has been the wallpaper on my phone for months and I had no idea where it was from. Thanks.

This reminds me of Tool videos and that's always a good thing.

I find this particular aesthetic oddly comforting and warm. I don't know if that's what he's going for, but there you go.
