CELEBRATE #INDIEANIMATIONDAY THIS MONTH!!! FEBRUARY 16TH!!! WHO IS READY FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF SUPPORTING INDIE ANIMATION? 💛💛💛💛💛 #indieanimation #Supportindieanimation

That’s a wrap on 2024! I’m glad to have fulfilled my one resolution, which was to put out *at least* a new trailer for Bleating Heart. Having accomplished that and made good progress on the first episode, I have high hopes for finally releasing it in 2025. Stay tuned, and see you in the new year!!

THEY’RE HERE!!!

In addition, I’m re-releasing the previous three stickers as a trio pack, available until the end of the year! After this, they’ll be gone forever! 🌷🌻🍁 ko-fi.com/s/722859287e

The FINAL 2024 seasonal sticker, Winter, is now available for *preorder!* I’ll post updates when the stickers arrive and I can begin sending them out ☃️🩵 Thanks for your patience! Order here 👇 ko-fi.com/s/a0afb637c6

Winter stickers are on the way, but my local FedEx offices have been in shambles the past couple weeks (they’ve delayed three unrelated packages of mine indefinitely) so I’m not optimistic they’ll be sent out to buyers by Xmas. Apologies for the wait, I hope to have them in the shop very soon!

November's Ramble has been posted for all Ko-fi supporters, featuring winter's seasonal sticker concepts! Supporters can vote for which design they want to be produced until the poll closes on Wednesday, December 4th. #bleatingheartseries #supportindieanimation #webseries #stickershop
