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.

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

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
