Santería may be a load of old bollocks, but these illustrations of Orichas by Alberto del Pozo are an absolute joy to look at.

CHAOTIC ORDER from MIRAI_MIZUE on Vimeo.

robotmafia tells us: "Mirai Mizue is a representative figure of the new generation of abstract animation in Japan. His films have been shown in more than 100 festivals in about 20 countries. His strong obsession towards cells forces him to draw every frame with surprising density. His rhythmical animation overwhelms viewers."
