DAY 2

Jelly Gummies

Jelly Gummies is an art blog filled with Sketches and experiments by Scottish artist, Sam Lyon. It is a blog full of wobbly, jelly-like, bouncing, gummy gif’s. These Jelly Gummies are a lot of things at the same time, they’re cute, weird, shiny, and you’ll want to touch them but at the same time, want to put them under a glass to prevent it from trying to poison you, while at the same time wanting to take them home and use them as a pillow. These jiggling, fleshy gifs are able to channel Flubber, sea cucumbers and floppy, rubber, sausages (which can be bought at any store that doesn’t usually sell meat products), all at the same time. From a technical standpoint, there’s a reason only one of these blogs exists, the Jelly Gummies all have a very over- pronounced face-crease, stomach bulge which are so goo like it would probably take someone hours to create and perfect. However it appears that Sam Lyon has created a winning and hilarious formula for creating them, he has said that he first picks a picture of a dog or a person’s face and runs them through programs (Sculptris and blender) to see what works and what doesn’t. But when did Lyon first create them and why? In an interview with the website, Giphy, Lyon said that he had begun creating them at the end of 2012 and had learned how to through trial and error. As to why, he says he does it for fun.
