Mound, Allison Schulnik’s latest stop motion animation, is drop-dead stunning. She makes a world full of hobo clowns, dwarfs, and witches come to life in a way that everything pulses and melt with color.

Jaw dropping paintings of Robert McGinnis
Reader Find
Just like the way spaceships and monsters will never feel quite as cool in CGI as they do in stop-motion animation (Mars Attacks by Tim Burton was supposed to be all stop-motion, imagine!), so the femme fatales will never feel quite as seductive and men holding guns never quite as spy-like in Mac-generated Photoshopped splendor as they did in the paintings of old posters and paper backs. The brilliant eye behind most of these drawings? Robert McGinnis.

Grease Summer Nights Lego stop-motion animation
Contributor
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Grease. There was just something about Olivia Newton-John and that naive wunderlust (hers, not mine) that grabbed by the collar and wouldn’t let go. YouTube user demondoggz obviously felt the same way. Though he made far more constructive use of his interest than I ever did.
