Really excited to share a look at the fantasy/comedy pilot I've been working on! Can't wait for you all to meet Fred and his family, who may or may not have made it entirely into this poster. #IndieAnimationDay
Did you guys vote yet? Some pretty important decisions on the line today. Which is why I personally am choosing to watch @toonoutDO on Dropout so that I don't have to think about any of them.
ALT A regal and extremely accurate American Woodcock sitting in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk, except if you look closely that isn't the Resolute Desk it has some... I guess woodcocks with human legs and butts? That doesn't seem right, I need to ask someone about this I'm very worried where the original desk is now.
Some behind the scenes of a little rotoscoping for @TommySiegel and @toonoutDO ! It’s amazing the lengths we’ll go to, to make these birds as accurate as physically possible.
Hey I did all the animation on this! Check it out now on Dropout. 😅
🚨 A new episode of Toonout is OUT NOW!
Featuring a new animated short by Tommy Siegel "American Woodcock"—featuring voice acting from Brennan Lee Mulligan & Tommy Siegel.
What's that buzzy sound? It's the woodcock, baby! @tommysiegel
Oh check it out: this is the ToonOut I animated / directed! Check it out tomorrow on Dropout
Did a quick animated loop for @PlayHearthstone 's new Violet Hold expansion! Maiev's going to have her hands full for a while.
We are extremely close to finalizing negotiations with the Blood Elves. Mana futures started dropping as soon as this was posted.
Guys, it's simple. You don't have to get off the internet for 2 weeks. You just have to flood the zone with fake spoilers. If every ending is real, none of them are.
Bonus Points to anyone who spends the next 2 months making fan edits and then poorly records them on a phone.

Hey YouTube, how about restarting that creator funding program only this time use it to benefit Animation channels like Glitch and such?
YouTube reports indie animation is taking over:
• 61% of Gen Z fans say they enjoy independent animated series as much as or more than studio content
• The Amazing Digital Circus trended in 8/12 countries after just 4 episodes
• “Alien Stage” videos pulled 330M+ views in 2025, with 90% from outside Korea
• 50% of viewers watch animated content in other languages
Thought of a really snarky April Fools joke but then remembered I don't really like April Fools, so I guess skip it.
The problem is that Illumination doesn't really make "films", they make the trailers first and then kinda cobble those moments together later as best they can. Sometimes this works out okay, but even in the best case you can always feel how disjointed it makes the final product.

Geez I really need to post more on here, huh? I'll be honest I wasn't expecting to snag this name so I'm probably just gonna randomly post things to keep active until I'm ready to actually promote production.
We're on hiatus while other jobs pay the bills, but updates soon!
Did YouTube or Google ever set aside an Animation Grant to encourage local talent? Or even promoting those already making it on the platform?
It's always felt like an afterthought there, if not actively discouraged. Just imagining what a million bucks could do for indies.
Hey Buzzfeed, if you're gonna make this kinda stance, you don't get to delete the news about it. Pick a lane, cowards.
Baby Globe just launched its birthday mode over on #Wikipedia and I was lucky enough to be commissioned to animate some dances to help celebrate!
