They&#8217;re one step up from static images and one step behind videos \u2013 and yet with all their clunkiness (and if you&#8217;re like me on an older Mac, they might freeze up your browser tabs if you load them all up at one go) they&#8217;re a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n<p>Illustrators take note \u2013 while you may be thinking your stills are amazing, how about giving your motionless drawings (that might be staring at you a little sadly) a bit of pizzazz by making them move? Not convinced? Then perhaps hopping over to <a href=\"http:\/\/bearinggifs.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bearing GIFs<\/a> \u2013 a collaborative project helmed by illustrator Charlene Man will change your mind. She&#8217;s enlisted a group of illustrators to come up with one GIF leading up to Christmas; and you my dear readers, are in for a treat because the collection is nearly complete!<\/p>\n<p>Devour them one at a time in all their glory or load them all at one go, the choice is up to you. I liken it to a choreographed firework of animation and colors on screen that begs a second look at each frame.<\/p>\n<h6>[GIF by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.katierosejohnston.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Katie Johnston<\/a>\u00a0&amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/laurendoughty.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lauren Doughty<\/a>]<\/h6>\n<p><em>Have a wonderful Christmas folks, and here&#8217;s to lots more adventures as we ring in 2014!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"I come bearing GIFs\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2013\/12\/24\/i-come-bearing-gifs\/\" aria-label=\"More on I come bearing GIFs\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37858,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[123,232,87,75,92],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35557"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35557"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35562,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35557\/revisions\/35562"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
