Instagram of the Day: Microanimation by Rachel Ryle

New York based illustrator Rachel Ryle (@rachelryle) began posting animated videos on Instagram two years ago. “Something which started as a hobby would so quickly change the course of my life! Within 2 months of creating my first animation I quit my day job and turned illustrating & animating into my full time career! Since my first piece, “Make Something & Grow,” I have made 162 animations!” recalls Ryle.

Each of her videos collects tens of thousands “likes.” Her account @rachelryle was recommended by MTV and BuzzFeed.

"Make A Goofy Toast!" – This is my way to make a toast to you, even if it's a little goofy ;) I want to thank you for all your ongoing support. I don't know if you realize this, but the encouragement I receive from each & every one of you is the #1 thing that motivates me to keep creating. So thank you, your love & support means a lot! *raises a piece of bread to toast you all* PS you can watch the slower version of this video on youtube.com/rachelryle to catch more of the detail! *link in bio* | Inspired by @torreybelle #givethanks #stopmotion #animation #art #drawing #cartoon #disney #goofy #cooking #food #toast #breakfast #🍞

"Banana Split, Spring! It's Summer!” – Yay! It’s finally the first Saturday of summer and I don't know about you, but I plan to go bananas! B-a-n-a-n-a-s! I made this animation in celebration of sunshine & to properly kick off this season of ice cream & smiles! I hope you enjoy this one, but more importantly let’s go enjoy the day! Happy summer! #😎 #🍌 #stopmotion #animation #art #drawing #sketch #cartoon #instavideo #banana #bananas #bananasplit #sundae #icecream #dessert #love #summer #summertime #summer2015

When life gives me lemons, I make lemon ice cream! I've been going through some ups and downs over the last couple weeks, including injuring my drawing arm which has limited my ability to create. Despite my pain I sucked it up and made this piece for you! Life tried to give me a lemon, but that's not going to stop me from giving you a smile! Hope this brightens your day :) #🍋 #🍦 #stopmotion #animation #art #drawing #instavideo #instavid #lemon #icecream #summer #dessert #treat

This #throwback animation is my tribute to Banksy & his epic visit to New York! Almost 2 years ago Banksy spent a full month creating art & excitement around the city. Every day he would make something new on the walls of New York & hundreds would search the streets to find his hidden work. It was brilliant & inspiring to watch. In this animation I feature his clever creation, "Graffiti Is A Crime". It was the 1st piece that he created out of 31 total, and personally is one of my favorites! Banksy – whoever & where ever you are, I want you to know that you inspire me! #stopmotion #animation #art #drawing #spraypaint #graffiti #graffitiart #banksyny #banksy #nyc #ny #newyork #tbt #throwbackthursday

April showers bring Mayhem flowers! I have been a fangirl of, 5yo fashion designer, Mayhem for quite some time! She takes paper & transforms it into a fantastic fashion show on her account. I had an idea for a #followfriday animation that would highlight her brilliance & share her talents with you all. Lucky for me she was able to join me in making it come to life! We got together last weekend & made this piece! If you love fashion, creativity & crafts go follow her at @2sisters_angie! PS there's a longer version of this animation featuring more of her dresses on youtube.com/rachelryle :) #fashionbymayhem #ff #fangirl #stopmotion #animation #art #drawing #fashion #fashionista #fashionkids #crafts #dress #clothing #designer #🎥

Welcome to New York! I took as many of your suggestions that I could & crammed them into this animation. From Broadway to bagels & taxis to the ferry these are things we love about New York! I hope you enjoy this piece as I'm enjoying my time in the city! PS @taylorswift if you see this, I absolutely love this song by you! It fully inspired this animation & I've been playing it non-stop since I arrived in New York. Thanks for it! #WelcomeToNewYork #taylorswift #stopmotion #animation #art #drawing #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #travel #statueofliberty #empirestate #coffee #bagel #taxi #ferry #broadway #theater #citylights

Welcome to Wafflepalooza! It's been a whole month since my car accident, which has forced me to stay in bed & heal from my injuries. So in celebration of me returning to my studio & @Instagram, I've cooked you up a sweet treat! I'm a sucker for waffles, especially when I get to decorate them with all kinds of toppings. My friends and I have Wafflepalooza, a joyous event where the waffles and toppings are endless. I hope you enjoy this one I made just for you! ❤️rachel PS It's good to be back! :) #stopmotion #animation #art #drawing #sketch #cartoon #brunch #breakfast #instagram #waffles #waffle #foodart

Throwback Thursday: Copperfield Style! This animation is inspired by the world's greatest illusionist, @D_Copperfield. For years he has been entertaining the world with his magic & creativity. For that I wanted to pay tribute & create a piece bringing us back to one of his biggest magic tricks of all! He made history & shocked a live audience when he made the Statue of Liberty disappear. This is my recreation of that magical night in New York! #stopmotion #animation #art #sketch #drawing #magic #magictrick #magician #illusion #illusionist #ny #newyork #nyc #statueofliberty #tbt #ThrowbackThursday
