David OReilly is killing it with his work for Adult Swim

David OReilly has always been a genius; a rare breed of provocative animator able to make us feel an extraordinary range and depth of emotion as we watch his crudely-rendered geometric characters live their lives on screen. His batshit crazy early animation Octocat Adventures won us over years ago as soon as that sad little eight-legged feline started screaming at the top of a hill. Since then he’s released two breathtakingly beautiful short films – Please Say Something and The External World – consulted on feature films like The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Her and even directed and episode of Adventure Time.

Right now he’s busy at Adult Swim, making some typically sinister and surreal shorts, as well as a series of North Korean infomercials that detail the biography of Kim Jong Un and inform the residents of Pyongyang about the warped minds of American citizens. They’re very, very funny – obviously.
