Parallel Teeth
Parallel Teeth — the alias of director, illustrator and animator Robert Wallace — makes worlds you couldn't shoot if you tried. His signature "gummy" aesthetic pairs bold colour with tactile texture to conjure work that's poppy, hypnotic and just a little uncanny, always with a curious, occult edge lurking underneath.
Whether it's fluid 2D animation, a mural thick with esoteric symbolism, or a record sleeve that seems to move on the page, his work runs on dynamism and a love of the strange. It's lit up the biggest digital billboard in Hong Kong, earned him an ADC Young Guns award, and landed multiple Vimeo Staff Picks along the way.
He's brought his surreal playground to Nike, Google, Cheerios, GIPHY, McDonald's and Pull&Bear — inviting audiences to see the everyday through a kaleidoscopic lens, where every frame feels like a portal to somewhere unexpected.
