berlin-based artist thoka maer has comprised a series of hand-drawn looped gifs that animate life’s simple, everyday trivialities and annoyances. posed as a satirical comment about our daily obstacles, the ‘it’s no biggie’ series illustrates the little inconveniences throughout the day that frustrate and bother; a pesky strand of hair that continually falls onto your face, a picture frame, that never quite sits straight on the wall and the bashful embarrassment of accidentally looking at a map upside down. each tiny dynamic drawing is rendered in a colored pencil style, all described an animated figure outlined in soft hues. in essence, the quirky collection of gifs conveys the triviality in these occurrences and reminds not to sweat the small stuff.

trying to fall asleep on public transport

rain all day

a picture frame that just won’t hang straight

opening your umbrella just as it stops raining

eating…and eating…and eating

that pesky piece of hair that always falls onto your face

accidentally looking at a map upside down…oops!
