Tatiana Kamshilina’s Adorable Illustrated Gifs Tatiana Kamshilina  ( Tatiana KawKaw on Tumblr ) is from Voronezh, a city in central Russia, and has a degree in architecture, and makes her living doing illustration and 3D visualization related to her degree.  However, she loved to draw, then learned to animate on the internet, and like many others became hooked, saying “….it’s like magic, seeing how your character becomes alive and starts moving on its own. Once you’ve made your doodles alive there’s no turning back!”  Within her delicate, childlike drawings and simple animations is great sophistication.  Her characters feel lifelike in the way they swing their legs or rock back and forth on a sled while reading and her looping is always seamless and clever.

Our bodies don’t generally respond to stressors linearly. A tolerable amount of a stressor can lead to adaptive responses that protect us against similar insults in the future – just think of how your skin bronzes during exposure to a modest amount of summer sun. However, intolerable levels of stressors leave indelible traces of damage in our bodies – we get burnt and may develop things like moles when we’ve spent too long in the sun. While each stressor we experience has distinct effects, the effects of different stressors accumulate, and when the resultant load is excessive, we’re at increased risk of a range of ailments, from mood disorders to gastrointestinal problems  to cardiovascular diseases .
