What better way to welcome Pride month than to get a bunch of Sirenetta: Part Time Mermaid kickstarter backed merch from @tinysiren.com 🩷🧜‍♀️

Just doing my part to support mermaids @tinysiren.com @mattbr.bsky.social 🧜‍♀️ #sirenetta

Support art! ✨ @mattbr.bsky.social

Suddenly felt like making this today. Making things is hard, but it's magic. And it's worth it. #dungeonflippers

Just finished shipping out the last of our Kickstarter rewards!!! Thank you again to all of our backers, I hope you enjoy all of the mermaid magic when it washes up on your shores!

There are currently 3 ongoing/upcoming Kickstarters for Black-led animated projects to support: • The Three Tomes by @breanimator.bsky.social • FLY by @jayrayart.bsky.social • HEY by ToonrificTariq Links below! ⬇️

Some heartbreaking animation news today from people who have been some of my animation heroes. It’s up to us to hold the line and build a better future for animation.

I wish I was surprised but it’s 2026 so of course well respected animators are making AI shows while saying “no no, it’s okay when I do it, I PROMISE”

I need someone to explain how eliminating jobs brings jobs back just… math wise

LAST CHANCE to help @syrenkafilm.bsky.social get over that finish line! PLEASE share our campaign everywhere! And donate if you can! WE are so grateful for the support! #2danimation #mermay #indiefilm www.kickstarter.com/projects/tin...

Oooo it arrived! @tinysiren.com @mattbr.bsky.social

Block this shit if you haven't already

NEXT INDIE ANIMATION DAY IS THIS MONTH, MAY 16th!!!! Share your projects, support your favorite indies, and find a new cartoon to love!!! #indieanimationday

We’re having an extra magical #MermaidMonday here as the rewards for our Kickstarter are starting to arrive! Still waiting on a few more things from the printer and then we’ll start sending them out to our backers!

between this and Elio, I am so glad I didn't go out and try to "make it" in mainstream animation - they would have broken my heart and laughed at me for it.

just finished the first spotting session for the Sirenetta movie! My brain is cracked like an egg now but I’m so excited for what comes next! 🎶

Do we know how to cast a movie or what?

Anyway we should support Julián (Cartoon Saloon) when it comes out! Based on the beautiful kids book "Julián is a Mermaid" and shaping up to be very openly queer in presentation and has a queer writer on the team (Juliany Taveras) Let's support those who aren't afraid of helping tell our stories.

There's really no need for such dismissive language in regards to something that is important to a lot of people. Besides "Luca" is the gayest Pixar movie we'll ever need. deadline.com/2026/03/pixa...

This quote isnt just out of touch or disappointing, its fucking dark. Gay people are not a conversation parents need to have with their kids? Knowing gay people exist doesnt require therapy?? Any parents who thinks that way needs to have their kids removed ASAP. Get in a volcano, Pete.

‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ creator Gooseworx has deactivated her Reddit account after facing backlash from fans upset about Pomni and Jax getting the spotlight. She also says she’s unsure whether she’ll return to the franchise in the future.

Happy Valentines Day! 💘

Adobe appears to have reversed course on this. Animate is safe, at least for the immediate future. www.reddit.com/r/adobeanima...

These guys know what's up. @mohoanimation.bsky.social

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale. So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

I keep seeing the “reminder don’t use Adobe here are the alternatives” image going around and folks, the problem is not just that Adobe sucks, the problem is they’re blocking legal access to decades of art files utilized by individuals and entire teams

Someone has a year to buy the code for Adobe Animate, make it open source like Blender, and really do something worthwhile in this world.

adobe killing animate and saying "just use after effects" is the most fundamental misunderstanding of your customers ever, lol

lol Adobe is just killing Animate/Flash for no particular reason, completely upending the animation industry. just your average monday

Hoping to christ that they reverse this or the industry is going to take a massive hit... that and force industry people to permanently pivot away from Adobe for good. ughghghhhhhhhhhhhh

Guess I have a definite deadline for the movie now that our software is being discontinued 😵‍💫

I think a lot of us grew up thinking that "good vs. evil" was something that only existed in cartoons, fairy tales, and galaxies far far away. Those super villains pale in comparison to what is happening now though, and we don't get to play pretend anymore.

🚨BIG NEWS!🚨 We are making an #indieanimation show about dysfunctional aliens stuck in space and we need voices! ✨VOLUNTEER VOICE ACTOR AUDITIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR ANDROMEDA SQUAD!✨ If you love comedy and sci-fi, then you might be the perfect fit to join us and yell in space. Details below! 👇👽

Showing the Sirenetta rough-cut to some (non-animation) friends tonight to get some audience feedback and just start sharing it with people. I’m nervous cuz it’s still so in-progress but also excited - my husband hasn’t even seen it yet

I wanted to make a nice little self portrait to reflect on 2025 with, but I couldn't really figure it out and got a little lost. Ultimately though, I think that's a good encapsulation of how this year has gone. There has been a lot of beauty, there has been a lot of darkness.

It’s time to export our year end rough cut 🤩 The movie’s already an hour and twenty five minutes long 😳 And we still have like half of act 3 to board 😱

I’ve curated a starter pack to make it easier to find artists working in animation on Bluesky! (If you qualify but aren’t on this list let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!) go.bsky.app/KDYTiwF

gave the first concepts of the Sirenetta movie score a listen and

One of my bucket list items is to be able to walk into a store one day and see my characters on shelves - until then, I’ve got the Sirenetta OOAK I ordered back when the movie started production 🥰
