Parallel Teeth

Parallel Teeth (aka Robert Wallace) stands out as an award-winning director, illustrator, and animator whose work pulses with playful mystique. Robert wields his signature “gummy” aesthetic—where bold colour palettes meet tactile textures—to conjure worlds that feel at once poppy, hypnotic, and delightfully uncanny.

Whether he’s crafting music videos that blend live-action whimsy with fluid 2D animation, painting murals infused with occult symbolism, or designing GIFs and record sleeves that dance across the page, Parallel Teeth’s creations are driven by a compelling dynamism and a curious, otherworldly edge. His work has illuminated the biggest digital billboard in Hong Kong, earned him a coveted ADC Young Guns award, and seen multiple projects selected as Vimeo Staff Picks. He’s also collaborated with brands like Cheerios, Nike, Pull&Bear, Google and GIPHY, bringing them into his surreal playground.

From explosive commercials to super-sized projection pieces, Robert’s playful design sensibility and penchant for the strange invite viewers to see the everyday through a kaleidoscopic lens. Each project is a plunge into his vibrant universe—where esoteric motifs weave through rich textures, and every frame feels like a portal to the unexpected.
