Really excited to share a look at the fantasy/comedy pilot I've been working on! Can't wait for you all to meet Fred and his family, who may or may not have made it entirely into this poster. #IndieAnimationDay
Did a quick animated loop for @PlayHearthstone 's new Violet Hold expansion! Maiev's going to have her hands full for a while.
We are extremely close to finalizing negotiations with the Blood Elves. Mana futures started dropping as soon as this was posted.
Guys, it's simple. You don't have to get off the internet for 2 weeks. You just have to flood the zone with fake spoilers. If every ending is real, none of them are.
Bonus Points to anyone who spends the next 2 months making fan edits and then poorly records them on a phone.

Hey YouTube, how about restarting that creator funding program only this time use it to benefit Animation channels like Glitch and such?
YouTube reports indie animation is taking over:
• 61% of Gen Z fans say they enjoy independent animated series as much as or more than studio content
• The Amazing Digital Circus trended in 8/12 countries after just 4 episodes
• “Alien Stage” videos pulled 330M+ views in 2025, with 90% from outside Korea
• 50% of viewers watch animated content in other languages
Thought of a really snarky April Fools joke but then remembered I don't really like April Fools, so I guess skip it.
The problem is that Illumination doesn't really make "films", they make the trailers first and then kinda cobble those moments together later as best they can. Sometimes this works out okay, but even in the best case you can always feel how disjointed it makes the final product.

Geez I really need to post more on here, huh? I'll be honest I wasn't expecting to snag this name so I'm probably just gonna randomly post things to keep active until I'm ready to actually promote production.
We're on hiatus while other jobs pay the bills, but updates soon!
Did YouTube or Google ever set aside an Animation Grant to encourage local talent? Or even promoting those already making it on the platform?
It's always felt like an afterthought there, if not actively discouraged. Just imagining what a million bucks could do for indies.
Hey Buzzfeed, if you're gonna make this kinda stance, you don't get to delete the news about it. Pick a lane, cowards.
Baby Globe just launched its birthday mode over on #Wikipedia and I was lucky enough to be commissioned to animate some dances to help celebrate!
I made my first test animations for my indie series in Adobe Animate; decided it took too long which was what made me first start switching over to Blender. Feel incredible grateful at the accidental foresight but holy moley what a thoughtless waste of global artistic resources.
So we're fully reclaiming it as "Flash" now, right? If Adobe doesn't want it we can finally stop calling it Animate, that was always a really silly and confusing rebrand.
