Oh Shy the Sun will wonders never cease. I am not entirely sure what to make of this but it’s definitely got something to do with art. Beneath the video at the Vimeo page is this poem:
“The Lord made a big mistake,
To make the world from layer cake,
He cast a spell to see it bake
So tides will swell and plates will shake.
So If you ever wonder why;
Moun-tains erupt and fishes die.
Beyond the clouds beyond the sky;
beyond the oven is a watchful eye.”
Shy the Sun is just blowing my mind right now. Everything I stumble upon that they have produced is just mind blowing. This reminds me of a Hieronymus Bosch painting come alive. Fantastic. Brilliant work.
I just stumbled on this absolutely stunning commercial for United Airlines by the increasingly amazing Shy The Sun. Extremely trippy, but equally beautiful work.
