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!
Showing the Sirenetta rough-cut to some (non-animation) friends tonight to get some audience feedback and just start sharing it with people. I’m nervous cuz it’s still so in-progress but also excited - my husband hasn’t even seen it yet

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.

It’s time to export our year end rough cut 🤩

And we still have like half of act 3 to board 😱

I’ve curated a starter pack to make it easier to find artists working in animation on Bluesky! (If you qualify but aren’t on this list let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!)

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!

The last month has been one of the weirdest ones for me this year. The incredible joy of funding our Kickstarter was immediately coupled with exhaustion, finally realizing just how busy that campaign kept me. I thought I could hit the ground running, and I got so angry with myself when I couldn't.
