It's Transgender Awareness week and one of our characters in Poison Us, Oleander, is a nerdy transman with a not-so-secret crush on our bisexual babe Penny Royal

Support our Kickstarter to hear his voice (played by @vynvox.com) come to life!

Want to know what made me start writing again, what pushed me to create Strip Me Down and POISON US?

Well I was on a podcast yesterday @thisqueerbook.com talking about One Last Stop and the absolute way it snatched me.

FoxGlove and Cat's escape plans...Well, the escape part is still in planning.

Ever wondered what happens when an adult toy store worker plays wingman for his roommate's librarian crush... only to fall for him himself? 😏 Dive into #StripMeDown this October when it hits paperback!

Happy Juneteenth!

We're working on getting everything in order for a Kickstarter because #indieanimation cannot happen without ya'll.

Our first major venture, Poison Us, is coming! It's a dark comedy adult animation about witchy women fighting corporate greed. Expect mature topics dipped in dumb jokes and personal growth. #PoisonUs #AdultAnimation #Comedy #indieanimation #FWDIOStudios

The characters of Poison Us would be way too excited to attend World Pride in DC this weekend, ready to see Doechii and RuPaul! (Would be wild if we could get them on the show one day)

With problems like these, it any surprise that there is a significant gap when it comes to authentic, diverse, and inclusive animated content? Especially for "people of color, women, and nonbinary individuals. FWDIO Studios hopes to put a dent in that #FutureofAnimation #AnimationNews

Owner of The Store, FoxGlove is a kitchen witch that delights in the chaos, but she is fiercely protective of her community. Her protests aren't always the most legal and she’s a 'trashbag Robinhood' but she is the heart of #PoisonUs

Built by queer creators of color, this studio strives to tell inclusive original stories that go beyond our labels. POISON US's pilot is one of those.

What kind of stories do you crave? #FWDIOStudios #PoisonUs #QueerCreators #BIPOCinAnimation #indieanimation #RepresentationMatters #AdultAnimation

I've created a Throne Wishlist for the studio and Poison Us for those that want to help get to our goals faster. Everything from small monetary donations to actual tech. #supportindieanimation

Wow! There is so much indie animation out there. I remember There she is! used to be one of my favorites back in the day. I still love the music and storyline!

Did you know it's Naked Gardening Day? The Poison Us cast wants you to get out there and grow. (And also follow us as we create our pilot!)

Poison Us is a Hell of a Ride and Cat just wants to go home from her part-time job #indieanimation

This is Black the cat. (Not to be confused with Cat, the person). Black is a pretty kitty that serves as FoxGlove's familiar

She doesn't do much. Yet. But FoxGlove is sure she'll come in handy one day. Mostly, she spends her time sleeping in the sun #PoisonUS #indieanimation
