PoolMoji / Bolas de Billar con Personalidad by Juan Bautista

the pool balls look on in horror at the incoming ‘attack’




a collection of gifs animate the expressions

the arrangement of the billiard balls forms humorous and quirky scenes

the emoji-painted billiard balls take on playful personalities

the project began when the creative found a new pool table at work

‘poolmoji’ draws from popular culture and the ubiquity of emoticon figures and faces

the cast of characters seemingly interact with each other as they roll across the table

each ball has been painted with a different facial expression

quirky identities are created for otherwise inanimate objects

personalities like ‘crying with laughter’ and ‘flushed face’ are rendered on the surface of the billiard balls

painting work on the project begins with simple illustrations
