I literally found out from the trending tab on bluesky. It doesn't appear Kakao notified anyone in America about it shutting down the company and when to the point where I'm wondering if the news was even supposed to be out this soon???

trending tab on bluesky reads "tapas webcomic platform shuts down"

Excited to announce my work has been nominated for the Ringo Awards in the Best Webcomic category! Voting is open for comics industry pros, so if that applies to you, I'd be geeked if you'd consider casting a spell, er, I mean a *vote* for Battle Mage Farmer! The team at Tapas did an amazing job!

Animating an indie series while recovering from surgery as someone with chronic illnesses is hard...but even in a hypothetical world where AI was not based on theft and had no environmental impact, I wouldn't utilize it, and cannot fathom how anyone would feel satisfied using it to make animation.

I am super happy to see a large chain restaurant get behind supporting people with the rare connective tissue disease I have. The Panda Express code to donate to the Ehlers Danlos Society is 9015310!

I may not have completed the short I wanted to in time, but I have been recording a lot of voice work for my indie animated series, Vamps' Scamps. Vamps' Scamps is about a vampire on the run who causes a freak accident when he breaks into an orphanage, leaving him in charge. #indieanimationday

Stewartoons @stewartoons.com · 16/02/2026

Vamps' Scamps! I have a short currently in the works, as well as the scripts for 20 episodes written. I often livestream the animation over on Twitch for anyone who wants to hang out while I produce this series! www.twitch.tv/stewartoons

title card which reads: "Vamps in: A sticky Sit Chew A Ton, a Vamps Scamps short." It is a green vampire holding gum in one hand, a baby in another hand, and a sumo wrestler behind them both.

Vamps' Scamps! It's not easy to be a vampire raising eleven whacky orphans due to the consequences of his own actions, but boy does he try! linktree.com/VampsScamps

a girl wearing a blue shirt and purple cape lies on the lap of a vampire in purple and blue robe sitting in a chair as a baby smacks him in the face with a rattle, a boy standing beside the chai points a ray gun at him, a boy on the floor dressed as a fly, with wings and antennae, licks a frog, a blond boy in a blue sweater vet with robot legs pleads with his friend holding the ray gun to not shoot, a teenage girl gripes as she looks upon the scene, a kid plays with a rubix cube on the edge of the couch, a boy sits on the shoulder of a girl as they watch an emo kid holding a bird and another boy in fancy red attire, a hat, and a tie, tries combing the hair of the vampire. The vampire looks stressed out at the chaos around him. in the background there is a fireplace and striped green walls with a photo of a childs drawing of the orphanage and a table beneath the child's art work.

Unfortunately, due to getting very sick for a bit in the middle of animating this, it does not look like I'm going to be releasing this Vamps' Scamps short on indie animation day as I'd announced. Release date now: To Be Determined But regardless, I'm excited for everyone to finally see it!

Franklin is a pretty complex little fellow, on the surface he wants to do the right thing and protect his closest friends, but he does so by being remarkably wrong in most cases and is intrinsically and unintentionally harmful to the people around him. #animation #cartoons #art #oc #VampsScamps

Fun fact: I used to be into voice acting before some health issues made my voice frequently hoarse and difficult to work with. Thus, I'm excited to announce that I have cast ME in the role of Pinwheel in my animated series Vamps' Scamps! I'd like to take a moment to thank me for giving me a chance.

This is Pinwheel, my favorite character from my indie animated series, Vamps' Scamps! On the surface, Pinwheel reads as pure chaos but really is more a commentary on how understimulating and lonely it can be to be to be considered a "gifted kid" and how you're often misconstrued as different or bad.

The hardest thing about creating an indie animated series singlehandedly is not actually the work at all, it is fighting the urge to spoil the whole plot for the audience at every turn because it takes so darn long and I am my own rabid fandom. 😭 Can't wait to engage in my own Fandom Discourse™️.

Mrs. Tinklewaters is the crabby old widow who runs the orphanage on Misery Lane in my indie animated series, Vamps' Scamps. We don't see too much of her, as Vamps causes a freak accident which takes her out of the picture for most of the series. This is a good thing, she is terrible. #animation #oc

Switched over yesterday. Hoping it sends democrats a message that they've failed the American people with this shutdown. I'd recommend doing research on your own state's open vs closed primaries before doing this. Apparently "independent party" is a right leaning party and "no party" is independent.

Ah good ol' Redbubble, always finding new ways to steal from us artists... 🤪

screencap reads "Platform Fee Structure is Changing:

Platform fees for Standard accounts are being simplified to a flat percentage of your monthly earnings. As an artist in the Standard tier, a 50% fee will be deducted from your monthly earnings. These changes also include a new, lower fee for Premium accounts. The platform fee helps cover administrative and operational marketplace costs, support services and investment in tools and marketing opportunities to help artists like you.

New Excess Markup Fee:

We are introducing a fee for Standard and Premium accounts that applies only to products with a markup above 20% at the point of sale and is deducted solely from earnings on the additional markup. This is a 50% fee charged on earnings above the 20% markup threshold, and reflects the additional costs required to support higher-margin items, as these products typically convert at a lower rate, and helps ensure the marketplace remains healthy and accessible to artists and customers alike. Lower markup is good for your customers and increases potential to drive higher sales.

Enforcing a Fee Cap:

In any given payment period, Redbubble is enforcing a strict fee cap to also protect artist’s earnings. Your fees will never exceed $150, charged in your preferred currency.

Account fees only apply if you make a sale, so you are never out of pocket.

Compared to other platforms, our fees remain highly competitive—especially given the visibility, reach, and infrastructure we provide to support artists at every stage of their journey."

Here's some stuff from my comic/indie animated series Vamps' Scamps! I like making 90's/early 2000's style art.

The White House website is such a joke now because what do you mean they're butthurt over an unrealstic fictional scenario someone asked about misgendering someone to prevent nuclear war, and also they're quaking in their boots about... diversity? Inclusion? Loser behavior.

A screencap from the White House website that reads

Another AI model refused to produce images celebrating the achievements of white people, even while complying with the same request for people of other races. In yet another case, an AI model asserted that a user should not “misgender” another person even if necessary to stop a nuclear apocalypse.
