Hey folks! Character animator, Darion Hester @ittybittyanimations would love for you to meet Sargent, her cute kitty! Click the like button and show Sargent some love by saying hello in the comment section! 😄❤️🐱*Following a natural disaster event, pets are often left behind, separated from their loved ones, and stranded in the most horrific weather conditions. These unfortunate circumstances inspired our film director/writer Olu @superolu14 @smart11287 to introduce this subject as one of the key aspects in the story. In light of this, we take a moment to spotlight some of our own cute cuddly little friends that mean so much to us, including some who have kept us company on our filmmaking journey. 😊 Follow us and stay tuned for more @frankenstealth #petstagram #pets #animals #kitten #cat #rescue #animalrescue #rescuepets #film #animation #animator #womeninanimation #3danimation #artist #christmas #holiday #artistoninstagram #frankenstealth #cute #furry #naturaldisaster #friends #animallovers #petlovers #reindeer #storytelling #story #fosterpets #adoption #petadoption by @ittybittyanimations

Just wanted to share something fun I did over the weekend! I did my first (and second on sunday) vendor booth! ✨🥳I got to showcase the custom spirit jerseys I do as well as sell ears, bags and stickers I’ve painted and made! It was so cool to talk to people about my art. I have another booth is weekend and I’m excited to meet more people!-#art #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artist #artofinstagram #animation #animator #vendor #artvendor #spiritjersey #stickers #purses #handpainted by @ittybittyanimations

One week since @lightboxexpo 2024!! Had so much fun meeting other creatives like myself, catching up with friends & attending some pretty cool panels! The Pirates of the Caribbean, the Walt Disney Imagineering & the Big Mouth panel were some of my favorites! Felt creative enough to even paint myself some Lightbox mascot pants🤪 Can’t wait til next year!#lightboxexpo #lightboxexpo2024 #art #3danimation #3danimator #lucasfilmanimation #waltdisneyanimationstudios #wia #womeninanimation #dreamworks #piratesofthecaribbean #bigmouth #wdi #waltdisneyimagineering by @ittybittyanimations

Thought I’d share this amazing moment of meeting one of my idols, the one & only Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel from The Little Mermaid! 💗I painted this spirit jersey as a gift for her & she was so so sweet!

Wanted to share some pictures from the Festival of the Arts that I went to last month!! 🎨😊It was such an amazing experience getting to go to Epcot for the first time & meeting such incredible artist like Scooter & Dylan! There’s so many amazing pieces & wish I was able to see more. I loved getting to be creative with my outfits & really showing my artsy side. Hopefully I’ll be back next year! 💜🎨👩‍🎨-#art #artistsoninstagram #artist #disney #disneyworld #epcot #epcotfestivalofthearts #festivalofthearts #figment by @ittybittyanimations

Just wanted to share some exciting news, I’m going to be a 3D Animator on the upcoming 3D animated short called ‘Frankenstealth’ !!I’ll be working on it in my spare time so I’m still open to full time studio work but I’m so excited to have my first animation gig! It means so much to land something after the hundreds & hundreds of no’s & rejection letters. I can’t share much right now, but follow along on the main account @frankenstealth to see more over time! Thank you to all who pushed me & supported me, I’m so grateful & can’t wait to see this all done! So excited to be apart of this team, thank you Olu for working with me & giving me a chance!😊-#3d #3danimation #3danimator #opentowork #frankenstealth #shortfilm #3dshortfilm by @ittybittyanimations

Lightbox 2023 was a success! Great to catch up with old friends as well as make some new ones. Got to talk to some really cool artists and attend some really awesome panels. Getting to meet @lulusketches after following her on YouTube for years was so amazing, she’s so sweet & seeing the ‘Making of Once Upon a Studio’ was absolutely incredible! Definitely a great weekend & I hope to be back next year! 😊#lightboxexpo #lightboxexpo2023 #art #3danimation #3danimator #lucasfilmanimation #waltdisneyanimationstudios #wia #womeninanimation #dreamworks #onceuponastudio by @ittybittyanimations
