I first saw the work of Lisette Berndt, aka Thoka Maer, through her Tumblr, It’s No Biggie. I think I’ve mentioned how much I love animated GIFs, and was especially delighted to see the element of the hand in Lisette’s animations. It’s No Biggie, she writes, is a “satirical comment about our daily life obstacles in form of looping gif animation.” All images via her Tumblr.
Lisette’s other illustrations (and animations!) share similar qualities to her GIFs. Stylistically, she uses a light hand with minimal line work to tell a story or describe a place. With colored pencil, graphite, or ink, Lisette communicates a feeling of introspection and a tinge of sadness.
