Outside of trying to kill Mickey Mouse for the past 97 years... A pretty nice guy.

My favorite place with some of my favorite pals 😌 ❤️

OMG YAY! My baby BOOJI BOY (pronounced 'boogie'!) got featured at the end of tonight's Ep 133 of Disney Jeopardy!! (you might remember back in June my girl Ripley popped up in Ep 121!) Big thanks to YouTube channel Inside The Magic and host Bryan Perri for including my sweet baby boy! ❤️ 🐈‍⬛

And if you'd like a more modern example of surprisingly solid trans rep, here's an episode of Too Loud by @nicocolaleo.bsky.social where one of the two main characters overtly figures out she's trans. youtu.be/9xZMeXWyo48?...

Look I LOVE Bill and Joe, but it's kinda crazy how much Hanna-Barbera plagiarized stuff back then. We all know Flintstones = Honeymooners, Yogi Bear = Art Carney, etc. But how about the original Season 1 Flintstones theme song apeing the Bugs Bunny Show theme?? Give a listen- what do you think?

It's the ultimate team up digital panel you didn't expect! Join Wondermation, along with @lackadaisy.bsky.social, @fablepaint.bsky.social, @theeastpatch.bsky.social, @geordenwhitman.bsky.social, and @nicocolaleo.bsky.social as we talk about independent animation and what the future holds for it!

I'm also still offering art commissions! I'm still getting by with only freelance work and commissions like this, so please consider helping me out and you'll get some fun artwork out of it. DM me if interested - thank you!

The army is on the move...

YAY, my baby girl Ripley is featured at the end of this week's 121st episode of Disney Jeopardy!! She's always cuddled up with me watching as my group and I play every weekend on channel Inside The Magic, so big thanks to host Bryan Perri for including her!

I felt it was time to draw my gal Zoe in all her beauty, grace, and totally bangin' bod

@henriiscrap.bsky.social pee pee poo poo poopie poopie uh oh pee and poop :) :) :)

I really hope Warner Bros does a celebratory animated short or something, a la Disney's "Once Upon a Studio" when the time soon arrives... (knowing WB today, probably NOT)... Because in just a little under 5 years, on April 19 2030, it'll be the 100th anniversary of Looney Tunes.

The best 5 seconds in cinema history

FRIENDSHIP: Sorry to hype too much but 10/10. 100/100. A comedy masterpiece. Besides South Park in 1999, this was the hardest I've ever heard a full audience laugh. Alongside Elaine May's HEARTBREAK KID and Albert Brooks' LOST IN AMERICA as the best of cringe/uncomfortable comedy

My Emmy Award has arrived! The highest honor you can receive working in television, and I still can't believe I've achieved it. THANK YOU, everyone - friends, family and fans - for believing in me, and for your love and support. ❤️ And extra special thanks to everyone at StoryBots and Netflix!

We cannot sanction such buffoonery.

RIP Jim Smith :(

After a global pandemic, and 5 looong years... Nico's art gallery shows are finally BACK THIS SUMMER! An LA event bringing together over 100 talents from around the animation industry to honor an artist whose life the world should forever celebrate. Official announcement and details soon...

You know you've found the right partner when you learn that you BOTH love going to Disneyland not even to ride the rides but to hang out with a nice coffee on Main St. all day and draw the various silly peoples you're people-watching ❤️

❤️

🎶 A Bob Clampett Cartooooooon... 🎶

Check out our Emmy win and acceptance speech!! What an honor (and VERY surreal) to be up on stage alongside my partners Rachael and Stella, and our captain and StoryBots creator Evan Spiridellis!

THE QUESTION OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE HAS ARRIVED!! .....Who's your pick for BEST VILLAIN of Duck Twacy's rogues gallery??

A lil' life update, but mainly some words of thanks for YOU. The past year or two have been a bit rough for my mental health and my career since the industry is in a major funk lately... BUT, suddenly 2025 has so far actually turned a lot of things around for me! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoxR...

My group of 5 pals and I saw THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP last night, and I'm happy to report it was a PACKED theater, with a tremendous energy in our audience. Everyone laughing the whole film! So happy to see that 90 years later, these characters are still entertaining us.

On top of the Emmy win, I was ALSO surprised with dozens and DOZENS of birthday videos from friends this weekend! To be reminded of the people in your life that love and care about you.. My heart is FULL. Thank you ALL. Here's one by @henrieke.bsky.social, THANKS for this Ollie & Scoops art gift!!

STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT. Thank you StoryBots and the Emmys/Academy!!!

Unbelievable. Last night for my 40th birthday I became an Emmy Award winning editor. Love and congrats to my fellow winners Evan, Rachael and Stella!!

I'M 40!

Well tomorrow's my birthday, and 40 is a big one. But I'll be spending it tomorrow at the EMMYS! Wish me luck... It'd be wild to win an Emmy Award for a birthday present! Anyway: Love to all my friends, and to all who've made my career so far so special. Here's to my next 10-year chapter!

A very special HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dear friend and cartoon creator extraordinaire @emilybrundige.bsky.social! ❤️❤️❤️

Trust me folks. THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP is the Looney Tunes film fans have always wanted. There's never been a fully hand drawn, no-live-actor LT movie, and now we have one. And PLEASE don't skip this bc it isn't Coyote vs Acme. If this does well, WB WILL notice. (and hey, maybe even release CvA!)

Amazing birthday gifts! THANK YOU TO: Zoe for Wicker Man card & SIGNED Elvira toy! Craig & Natasha for sweet Arnold & Tater greetings! @atuesday.bsky.social & @michaeljruocco.bsky.social for adorable Ollie & Scoops drawings! @zonchzone.bsky.social for insanely cute kitty pens! You all rule!! ❤️

THANK YOU to all my pals for making this past weekend such a special 40th for me! (And thanks for coming a weekend early- I'll be at the Emmys this Saturday for my actual bday!) @michaeljruocco.bsky.social @atuesday.bsky.social @beckyandfrank.com @arielsvh.bsky.social @hollywoodsteve.bsky.social

I've been working on bringing OLLIE & SCOOPS to the big screen here in LA for a theatrical screening event! Despite the details still being ironed out, I couldn't WAIT to share this awesome poster art, a collab between me and the great Natasha Weir! (@ieatrocks.bsky.social) Stay tuned for updates..

Just to be nominated at all is such an honor 🏆 Plus the ceremony is on March 15, my 40th birthday, of all days. How crazy would it be to win an Emmy for my 40th bday present, hah. THANK YOU to Netflix and my StoryBots fam!❤️

The front image of my party invites

My favorite photo from last weekend's Annie Awards: Getting to meet Nick Park, creator of Wallace & Gromit, WITH the W&G puppets in person!! Been a fan since 3rd grade when I saw The Wrong Trousers in 1993, and such a huge honor to meet and chat with him. He was so friendly! "Say CHEESE!"

More Annies fun with Natasha (Primos creator) and Craig (Hey Arnold creator)! Always great seeing you guys ❤️

Last weekend's Annies Awards was the best in years! aka Cartoon Prom! With Brailey, Brooke and Keith... Love you guys! ❤️

Last weekend's Annies Awards was the best in years! Great to catch up with so many cartoon pals, like Vivzie! @vivziepop.bsky.social ❤️

Me and this lovely lady @probablyademon.bsky.social at the Egyptian, still celebrating and mourning David Lynch, with a Mulholland Dr. and Twin Peaks double feetch. Love you, DKL. Even a full month later the heartache is still there and we miss you so much.

"The Mayor" character from my cartoon series Ollie & Scoops and Too Loud, an obvious but very loving parody of David Lynch ❤️

A memorial for David Lynch outside Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, famous for being one of David's favorite LA spots. So many fans and admirers were there when I visited yesterday, lovingly adding items, artwork, photos.. I bought and signed a Bob's coffee mug and left it - for David. ❤️

RIP David Lynch 💔

I feel so bad I can't donate anything further to victims of the LA fires. I'm heartbroken for those who lost their homes, their things, their lives.. But the past year has been very tough for me with no job, no income, so not being able to help my fellow Angelinos more.. ugh, I feel awful about it
