Portrait of a 1970 Mercury Cougar,

animated GIF loop.. Hand Drawn sequential digital drawings. by Dax Norman.

This work was originally created in 2016. GIF remastered 2021 from the source file.

The symbol of a classic car is the main subject here, but with constantly changing personified cartoon elements.

The work illustrates a version of Dax's perpetual motion/ modular movement technique, which he is constantly refining as working blueprints for VR concepts currently in production.

In his unique way of combining art and technology, Dax seeks to create a new way of painting, and in these GIFs, that aim intersects with a deep love of Film making, and drawing.

Dax Norman has created 5,000 animated GIFs, and 2 animated Feature Films at the time of this writing.

In 2019, Dax Norman drew 2 Pepsi commercials for the "Touchdown Slide" campaign, and was shown at Times Square, NYC, as part of Giphy arts at Nasdaq. Dax's work has also been seen on MTV, Adult Swim and Ipod Classics. For 10 years, Dax Norman was a college Digital Art Professor.

Dax has his MFA from UT Dallas in Art and Technology
