For this week's Six-Pack, I want to highlight David Michael Chandler, a hand-drawing fanatic whose work seems almost childlike in style and ingenuity, but never fails to deliver a complex atmosphere upon closer inspection. Most of his GIFs animate the prose people have submitted to his Tumblr, The Daily Doodles, in about three paragraphs of text.He's GIFs tap into a whole network of emotions, concepts, settings, and characters in narrative form. Take for instance, “A Robot Sitting Inside on a Snowy Day, Reflecting Upon a Life Spent Killing Humans and Amassing a Large Fortune” or “Just One More Wasted Day.” Check out a few of our favorites below, but be sure to read the stories behind them on his blog.See more of David Michael Chandler's work on GIPHY and Tumblr.Related:GIF Six-Pack: Hand-Drawn Animation Is Our SalvationForget 15 Minutes of Fame, Here's 15 GIFs Dedicated to Andy WarholGIF Six-Pack: Female Artists You Should KnowThe Demonic Moving Portraits of Brandon Muir
