When he’s not working slavishly at Mother New York, Brooklyn-based designer Jules Tardy likes to conduct his own personal experiments in visual language and communication. He catalogues all this extra-curricular activity on his blog where he’s beginning to amass a varied body of images and animations that are all the fruits of some serious mucking about. Aside from the bits on show here, there’s a few magnificent gifs of Jay and Silent Bob swaying vigorously to Daft Punk’s Da Funk that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Great work Jules!
