Henrique Lima is a man of many talents. Perhaps better known as ‘Gringo,’ the São Paulo-based artist is one half of the illustrative duo Mulheres Barbadas, but he also creates typefaces, designs T-shirts for Tenso Graphics, is part of the loose Black Rock Collective, and, most recently, has turned his hand to crafting GIFs.
Lima’s Mestre Fungo is a psychedelic series of expertly animated images, in which faces drip like melting waxworks, eyes well with day-glow green tears, and teeth slowly rotate like some form of dental roulette. Although unified by a common style, each image is truly unique — you’re unlikely to have seen anything quite like them before. For the full collection, head to the official Mestre Fungo website.
