Matt Semke:  Hand Hewn Gif Art

A true American Midwesterner, 38-year old Matt Semke was born in Wisconsin and is now living in Minnesota and working for the Twins Baseball team as a Motion Graphics producer.  He is also a true Gif believer, so much so that he just made a film constructed entirely of gifs (for details see his website).  He has a BFA in Graphic Design and an MFA in Ecological Architecture, but his real talent appears to be illustration and animation, a skill in which he is self taught. He has considerable technical skill but his imaginative and witty gif art almost always looks charmingly hand drawn. whether made with his computer or not.  He embraces the limitations of creating Gif Art, about which he said  “It’s cool to be a part of something that emerged in my lifetime. I love to paint and draw, but gifs and digital art are really just finding their starting place in art history right now.”

Ex(e)rcising

I’ve said things Done things

The sun goes down  And I dread things

The dark comes out And my fears pop up

My fists slam shut And I stand up

I hear things I see things

I close my eyes I remind myself I’m in the present

I breathe in deep I breathe out slow

I shake my hands out I let the past go
