Drew Tetz (b. 1987 in Silver Spring, MD) is an American designer who primarily works with phenakistoscopes, a medium generally considered to be the earliest form of animation. By adapting the pre-cinema format for record players and camera phones, he has unearthed a number of previously undiscovered visual techniques, fusing psychedelic turntablist sensibilities with traditional animation into a strange analog vision of the future.
