Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

Trump Admin launches 45 day ICE surge starting today, targeting LA, San Diego and San Fransico. Stay safe.

almost every single trans creative i know is struggling. almost every trans creative i know can't find any goddamn work. almost every trans creative i know has watched opportunities evaporate.

usual selfie post after I get a haircut hehe

i will literally cry if anyone ever draws any of my ocs (sfw)

It’s been over a year and a half since I’ve had any work in the industry, or at all really. I keep getting rejected from min wage for no relevant experience. and it really sucks that the next entry of my favorite game series is coming out and I simply can’t afford it if I want to eat ahaha

I haven’t heard as much talk about the US animation job market lately, but rest assured! It’s still terrible!

A few memes I made while we were working on the Spongebob x One Piece animation

nooooo what do you mean dolly parton died on my birthday…..

cracker at 21 but kuma at 32????????? Huh? What?

birthday in four days woah

:0

I gotta make those goddamn animatics.

it is august. birthday month. Three weeks to try to get some money so i can treat myself in any meaningful way

Cartoons for 6-11 aren’t dead yet. Somehow.

The highlight of the show, to me, is the potion craft segments: rather than magic chants or spells, it'd be a practical, tactile process shot like a cooking tutorial that anyone can follow. magic in this world is a process. we have to see and prepare every ingredient as Bluebell puts it together.

Gabitha is the helper around the shop, who acts like a big sister to Bluebell when she needs a more mature ear to listen to her. She's composed and friendly, and capable of endless feats of endurance, but has a tendency to obsessively help everyone around her at the cost of her own health.

PBB is about the struggle of kids who grow up too fast and don't really get to just have a childhood. It's about separating self image from the neurodivergent 'gifted child' experience. It's also about found family, love between siblings, mother, and daughter, and the pursuit of dreams and passions.

reposting to keep spreading around my cozy fantasy protagonist, an autistic potion seller determined to both prove her mettle despite her young age and share her love of magic and whimsy to a whimsy-less village 💜

ideally if I can't get this done through a studio, I'd love to keep this going at bumpy dog and get some youtube shorts going or something? I appreciate all of you checking it out <3 #indieanimation #showpitch #fantasy

Sharing some more boards from the 'Potions by Bluebell' pitch animatic, this time boarded by Kaden Westbrook (@kadejwestbrook on insta!) who did an amazing job with the comedy and really helped get this big chunk done! This was also my first time directing :O #storyboards #indieanimation #showpitch

reposting the Bluebell pitch stuff for day time people - thanks everyone for the support on it already, I appreciate it <3

YALL PLEASE HELP ME MAKE SOMETHING OF THIS. I appreciate any RTs or comments 😭 I really love this pitch and I really want to make something for kids who are growing up with some of the struggles I had to grow up with too. like maybe if I can get funds and support I can even get a crew going??

AH ANOTHER THING I'm so forgetful lmao. I also wrote/composed Bluebell's theme in the animatic!! I wanna share because I think its cute and really adds to her character hehe

Oh one last little post!! if it wasn’t clear, Bluebell is autistic and I really wanted to focus on having an autistic main character who is celebrated for engaging with her favorite thing - her world view IS what makes her special amongst these dispassionate villagers. She’s determined to

Lastly here's some super rough boards I included in the pitch. I wanna clean these up eventually dfkjskf. Hopefully tho its a fun little way to show how the magic works in the show and the dynamic with her and her familiars! We have a whole 11 min animatic but that would be crazy to share haha

More bits of her world, as we move from the center of Lilywart Village towards the center of Wisteria Woods! Thanks to Laura Walsh and @lizc.bsky.social for their lovely bg work!

Here's lovely art, designed by Cristina Zuniga @cristinazunigaart.bsky.social and colored by Laura Walsh (@aspentri on IG), of Bluebell's home - the potion shop. She does all of her potioncraft here.

Bluebell's three familiars, who she grew up with like siblings, help her with potioncraft and big scary decision making! Tabby is wise, loyal and brave, but always sleepy. Toad is fun, empathetic, and loves play - especially roleplay! Crow is smart and bookish, but skittish and full of nerves.
