We donā€™t have anything new for #IndieAnimationDay this time around, but only because weā€™ve all been so busy working harder than ever on bringing Sirenettaā€™s new story to life! That just means weā€™ll have even more to share next time!

16 years ago, when I was in highschool (šŸ’€), I made a web-show about super hero cupids fighting evil šŸ¹ So happy Valentineā€™s Day from Rose Cupid & Violet Cupid - my weird little cartoon is old enough to drive now!

As production on "Sirenetta: Part-Time Mermaid" ramps up, I need to take more time to focus on making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible, so I've paused our Patreon and will be on here way less than usual (which already wasn't much)

Yet another urgent reminder for artists (or anyone) to create your own website. Do it today!! If people cannot access you for whatever reason on social media, they can at least find you on your website

is it cheating if I add this to my watchlist?

Hi! I'm looking for podcast guests for these magical girl series: Lyrical Nanoha (any season) Winx S7/Fate S1/2 Miraculous S3 Symphogear XV Teenieping S2/3 Unicorn Academy Boueibu Love Love/Happy Kiss Mermaid Magic Supa Team 4 H2O Mermaid Adventures

I've decided it's time for me to leave Meta behind, so I'm starting a mailing list! You can join at www.tinysiren.com! I am sticking around on BlueSky, though I am not super active over here and will probably take a more conscious break this year as I focus on finishing up the movie!

ā€˜FLOWā€™ is the first indie animated film to win Best Animated Film at the #GoldenGlobesĀ  The film had a $3.8M budget. See the full winners list: bit.ly/GlobeWins25

Before this year endsā€¦SHARE YOUR INDIE ANIMATED PROJECT BELOW!!!! #indieanimation #supportindieanimation

This show could have been PART of that timeline. This could have been a tool for those discussions. Disney, as much as they'd like to insist otherwise, isn't required viewing for every American child - if parents don't like the show, they don't need to play it.

At what point are trans people allowed to exist in the narrative? At what point are LGBT+ people allowed to tell our stories without worry of censorship or removal?

The problem with animating all the time is not having a ton of one-off illustrations šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« but I at least did enough for #ArtvsArtist this year! Maybe Iā€™ll make it a point to do more in 2025, because I do miss just working on one nice illustration.

Hey friends! The QueerXP is looking for a new audio editor. Our current editor is about to graduate (HOORAY!!!!) but also means they need to focus on some other things as they move forward in their career. **This is a volunteer role, as we just don't have budget to pay folks at the moment**

Officer Frye at McDonaldā€™s? boooooo writers room

I'm building out the schedule for the rest of "Sirenetta: Part-Time Mermaid"s production, and I just realized that (if everything stays on track) animation will wrap on my 35th birthday

Oh you want some Drag Queens who make a splash?

Nightshade is out! Free, easy nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu Good for artists, ya, but everyone: poison random web images, memes, social uploads A small % makes the web less safe to scrape. My 2022 mac laptop did the attachment in 3 min. Noticeable on a solid color image like this--learn to like it ;)

We're excited to join our TAG members and supporters here on Bluesky. Please share this post to help us spread the word! #StandWithAnimation

Yesterday was the 35th Anniversary of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" - the movie that sparked my imagination and made me want to draw when I was a toddler. It's probably the piece of media that's had the biggest impact on my life, and continues to into adulthood.
