Watched Ant Man: Quantumania last night, and it literally vanished from my brain the second it ended, nothing stuck with me from that film

MY BEAUTIFUL MONA PIZZA IS 8 YEARS OLD TODAY

Happy #FanArtFriday! This week we’re highlighting this wonderful piece of Izzy, Wedge, and Squeaky Jean by subidoart_illustrations!! If you’d like your PiRATs fan art featured on our next Fan Art Friday, make sure to tag or DM us!!

I don’t know why I thought I stood a chance getting tix to see the new Last Airbender movie. They were gone immediately. Insane theater strategy by Paramount, let’s show it for one week in a single theater with the smallest seating capacity.

Izzy’s got a map to all your cheese, so you better watch out Art by @aanonoart.bsky.social

Not that I was eating it often, but seeing Raising Cane’s make a shitty AI commercial with the recently dead Chuck Norris in it has turned me off ever going back there. Their chicken fingers are mediocre anyways.

Today another episode of Ariel I wrote is out, 'Twinspiration'! This was definitely one of the most challenging episodes I wrote on the series, but also one of the most rewarding. It took a lot of work, but it came out really special, and a fantastic song from the songwriters! 🐟🐚

Ahoy mateys! It’s #FanArtFriday!! Today we’re featuring the always cool Squeaky Jean drawn by the always cool @octobersourghoul.bsky.social! If you have PiRATs fan art you’d like featured, make sure to Tag or DM us for our next Fan Art Friday! 🐀🏴‍☠️

Where is Squeaky Jean off to in a hurry?? Something must have spooked them… Art by @aanonoart.bsky.social

A poster three years in the making. Was able to FINALLY complete my Persona 5 poster with every Phantom Thieve’s signature. Feels fitting to end things with Joker himself! Really happy to have this complete tribute to one of my favorite games and favorite casts of all time.

Happy #FanArtFriday!! This week we're showcasing a piece drawn by MaddysArt_, which features our beloved Izzy, Squeaky Jean, and Wedge sailing around in teacups! 🫖 If you'd like to have your PiRATs fan art featured at our next Fan Art Friday, make sure to Tag or DM us!

I’ve become far too familiar with Facebook Marketing these past few weeks. Blows my mind that even when you’re giving something away for free, people will ask for it, then ghost you when it’s time to pick up. Has happened 5 times. Also the nerve to ask you to deliver a free item TO them?? Crazy.

Happy #FanArtFriday!! This time around we’re featuring the adorable Izzy and Wedge drawn by @toonant99.bsky.social!! If you have PiRATs fanart you’d like featured at our next Fan Art Friday, make sure to Tag or DM us!

I feel like Genndy is the only person in animation who's allowed to make original shows anymore...

Time for the final voice cast reveal for 'PiRATs! Of the Seven Sewers', and it's... Arlo (@arlostuff.bsky.social)!! We're so excited to have this talented YouTuber, streamer, and self-proclaimed monster join our PiRAT crew! Tune in to our pilot release later this year to hear him in action! 🐀🏴‍☠️

Meet another member of our Additional Voice Cast for 'PiRATs! Of the Seven Sewers', it's Zoë Moss (@zoemoss.bsky.social)! Zoë is a fantastic artist and voice actress, known for her roles such as Baroness Von Bon Bon in 'The Cuphead Show', and Timbert in 'Umbert Actually'!

In addition to our main voice cast, we're super excited to reveal some of our additional voice cast and cameos for 'PiRATs! Of the Seven Sewers'! First up, we have the amazingly talented Maverick Bates, who will be providing various voices for us throughout our pilot episode! 🐀🏴‍☠️

how in the hell is it 2026 and the US government websites still don't allow me to use the ñ in my last name. Probably shouldn't be surprised given who's in charge, but it's infuriating.

Go support The Three Tomes! Bre has put her heart and soul into this project, and it deserves to continue with Episode 2. Support indie animation and uplift black creators!!

OH SNAP, IT’S WENSLEYDALE WEDNESDAY 💪🧀 By decree of Wensleydale, you must post your favorite cheese in the comments. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. Art by @aanonoart.bsky.social

Why are there so many free pianos on Facebook marketplace

I have the honor of designing and storyboarding for the upcoming pilot, Pirats! Of the Seven Sewers by @acunamattata.bsky.social I realized I haven't been able to do much art for it since the initial concepts but here's the main girl, Izzy ready to do pirat things.

NEW IZZY JUST DROPPED Aaron has been doing some amazing work for PiRATs, and we’re gearing up to do some amazing storyboards soon too! Stay tuned!

The Witch leading the way! Meet Shirley. The Tome Keeper Witch-in training here to help our hero. Follow the Kickstarter Pre-launch page for The Three Tomes, where teen witch Tammy Harris must recapture 13 spirts to save the world! Kickstarter Launches June 19th 🔗⬇️ #indieanimation

Been seeing a strange growing mindset that somehow if you try to fundraise or sell merch to make your indie project, that’s now a bad thing and you’re no better than the corporate studios. Animation is unbelievably expensive. Most people watch it for free. How else can it get made?

The way Zelda: Spirit Tracks integrates trains into its lore and storytelling is honestly so clever, and everybody was so mean to it when it came out.

Happy #FanArtFriday! Today we're featuring this piece from Jonatha76258383, where the virus from 'Learning with Pibby' has made its way into the world of PiRATs! Poor Sassparilla seems to be the only survivor. If you have PiRATs fanart, DM or tag us to be featured at our next Fan Art Friday!

Just saw Masters of the Universe in 4DX, that movie beat the shit out of me

Learning that SEGA used GenAI in the new Crazy Taxi is extremely disappointing. Really hoping that they didn't use any of that during the development of Persona 6.

PERSONA 6 PERSONA 6 PERSONA 6 PERSONA 6

Seeing the Digital Circus finale in theaters felt like a once in a lifetime experience. Indie animation has come so far, and this shattered yet another milestone. What an inspiring time we live in for indie animation.

NEW IZZY JUST DROPPED Aaron has been doing some amazing work for PiRATs, and we’re gearing up to do some amazing storyboards soon too! Stay tuned!

I can’t deal with Summer Games Fest chat, any game that pops up that someone doesn’t like, the comments are just “what is this AI slop”. If we call everything we don’t like AI, it loses meaning when there actually IS some AI garbage out there.

It's #FanArtFriday once again! This time we're featuring our squeakiest of jeans, Squeaky Jean relaxing and looking wistfully out to sea, drawn by @thestevemeister.bsky.social! Want your PiRATs fan art featured? Make sure to tag or DM us!

Persona can really just do any collab and I’ll show up huh

More episodes of Ariel were added to Disney+, including one of the episodes I wrote, Tomtom for Manman!!

We’re excited to announce a new addition to our main cast! Previously we said that Wedge would be voiced by a kazoo… but who’s the person behind that kazoo? It’s Savanna Menzel!! Savanna is know for her non-kazoo roles such as Linnea from Genshin Impact. Welcome aboard, matey!! 🪰🧀🏴‍☠️

Today we're celebrating, because we had our very first voice record session yesterday for "PiRATs! Of the Seven Sewers"!! The project is slowly coming to life. Here's to many more amazing voice sessions with our equally amazing voice cast! 🐀 🎙️

Introducing Pepper Jack! 🧀 PJ was the original first mate aboard The Stinking Bishop, and was the love of Grease’s life. He was a firecracker with heart… but was lost to the sewers years ago, and hasn’t been seen since… Art by @sourplumwine.bsky.social

We missed Fan Art Friday, so time for #FanArtSaturday! Today we're highlighting Malco J Hawkingfisher, who made a crossover drawing with our very own Izzy T. Rat! If you'd like your PiRATs fan art featured on our socials, make sure to TAG or DM us!

BIG NEWS! I'm excited to announce that 'PiRATs! Of the Seven Sewers' is officially a SAG-AFTRA signatory project! Which means we're ready to kick off our records with our fantastic cast! Stay tuned 👀 🐀

Anyway, support indie animation because we actually make cartoons

Here’s some pirats stuff I made for @acunamattata.bsky.social, rough n clean, to show that all of these came w research & reference to get things I struggled on “just right enough” So yeah no giving up & asking ai to do it, even when I messed up I pushed through and let myself learn 😌 you can too!

In case it's not clear, "PiRATs! Of the Seven Sewers" and any other projects I make will never utilize AI. Art is what makes us human, and to willingly give that up is to give up our humanity. AI has no place in art, and no place in PiRATs! 🐀🏴‍☠️

NEW TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT!! Post-Kickstarter, we realized that we've emphasized the rats quite enough... so we've decided to rename our series to something that rolls of the tongue a bit more! Moving forward, we will officially be called "PiRATs! Of the Seven Sewers"! 🐀🏴‍☠️✨

$19,184 Raised 322 Backers 1 Successful Kickstarter THANK YOU!! With your amazing support, we were able to make something amazing happen - PiRATs! is officially coming to life. I’m so blown away by the support, fan art, and genuine love you’ve given the project. LETS MAKE A PILOT ANIMATIC! 🐀🏴‍☠️✨
