It's another #IndieAnimationDay, and we're here with an updated WIP Reel! One clip from every scene in "Sirenetta: Part-Time Mermaid" currently in production, from rough storyboards to early composites! We're getting close to a huge milestone - we only have four scenes left to start work on!
Happy Valentines Day! 💘

Adobe appears to have reversed course on this. Animate is safe, at least for the immediate future.

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.
So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

I keep seeing the “reminder don’t use Adobe here are the alternatives” image going around and folks, the problem is not just that Adobe sucks, the problem is they’re blocking legal access to decades of art files utilized by individuals and entire teams

Someone has a year to buy the code for Adobe Animate, make it open source like Blender, and really do something worthwhile in this world.

I think a lot of us grew up thinking that "good vs. evil" was something that only existed in cartoons, fairy tales, and galaxies far far away. Those super villains pale in comparison to what is happening now though, and we don't get to play pretend anymore.

I wanted to make a nice little self portrait to reflect on 2025 with, but I couldn't really figure it out and got a little lost. Ultimately though, I think that's a good encapsulation of how this year has gone. There has been a lot of beauty, there has been a lot of darkness.

One of my bucket list items is to be able to walk into a store one day and see my characters on shelves - until then, I’ve got the Sirenetta OOAK I ordered back when the movie started production 🥰

Animation is consistently the most successful and profitable genre year after year... so the way the studios are strangling the industry with less and less green lights, development, and funding is utterly baffling.
‘Moana 2’ was the most-watched film on Disney+ in 2025.
It was rewatched more than 80 MILLION times.

I'm recording an all-drag ep of The QueerXP tonight, and one of our guests had to drop out. This is a hyper-specific request, but if anyone out there is free at 8pm Eastern for a game of Trans Vampire Cowboys.. AND is a BIPOC drag performer... please shoot me a message!
