to CREATE is to CONNECT

Ahh, it’s my first interview!

Thank you so much @postmodartpod.bsky.social for this opportunity, and feel free to tune in when it comes out! 🎙️💖

The new thumbnail for “A Blooming Discovery” shows the trio looking at a glowing pink flower. Carmen is drawing in their sketchbook, and Emilyn is filming with her camcorder as the cub sits on top of her head.

When I look at creators in Indie Animation, I dont see the "inexperienced" or newbies who are "cringe".

I see people who are willing to be vulnerable, willing to create at the expense of ridicule for the sake of their own inner worlds.

That's what it means to be an artist, I think.

A concept piece of a flower folk, one of the creek’s inhabitants. On the left, there are four variants for each season: winter, spring, fall, and summer. On the right, there are additional sketches.

A concept piece of a den on an autumn morning.

A four-point turnaround of an Owlox, one of the creek’s inhabitants. There’s a palette consisting of seven colors above, with the first one as lineart. Beside it, there’s a size comparison showing how big the creature is.

A concept piece of Carmen’s sketchbook. It has a pen holder, a red ribbon as its bookmark, and a pair of leaves hanging on the back of the front cover.

Screencap of the trio in a white void. They're simplified into squares. Emilyn says “lets go exploring”, and Carmen responds with an “okay”.

Production on the animatic film has begun! Here's a never-before-seen first look at the trio’s next adventure. #scoutscartoon

Digital drawing of Carmen sitting and carrying the non-binary flag, smiling. They both share a similar palette, consisting of yellow, white, purple, and black (presented as dark purple). There’s a glowing blue and pink shooting star beside them, similar to the colors of the transgender flag.

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! To our cast, crew, and all of you— keep shining. 🏳️‍⚧️💜💫

Gonna keep banging this drum but Indie Animation CANNOT survive on YouTube, the platform that can WITHOUT NOTICE change its algorithm or or deny you the audience you need to make your show sustainable.

getting ready for the day... BTG ch. 2 incoming

@cirrostatus.bsky.social on inks!

Aww, shucks! Thank you so much! It was a pleasure working on the short with my lovely crew, and I’m really happy with how it came out. 🥹💖

Digital art of a girl looking at her reflection in the mirror at different points in time: 2018 (top) and 2026 (bottom), showing how this character has grown. The backgrounds are from the pilot and the eighth episode of “The Amazing Digital Circus”. The girl above has long hair and a hairband that resembles antlers. Her outfit consists of a reddish-purple scarf and a pink shirt. The girl below also has long hair, but she has a pair of indigo glasses. Her outfit consists of a white sweater with a blue suspender skirt.

Did you know that Emilyn, our protagonist, has been around since 2018? Here’s a look at how her character has grown over the years! 💙🧵⬇️

First look at DreamWorks' new film ‘FORGOTTEN ISLAND’.

The film follows 2 best friends trapped in a mystical world but their only way of escape is to erase all their memories of each other.

Directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado (‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’).

Digital drawing of Emilyn and Carmen making a heart shape with their hands. Behind them, a little cub is waving hello as he sits on the stem of a giant pink flower. Both the cub’s freckles and the flower are glowing turquoise. Above them, it says “Thank You!” with a heart next to it.

Thank you so much for watching “A Blooming Discovery!” It means a lot to us, and we’re excited to share more of this world with all of you! 🌱💕

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.
