It’s here! The very first Roz Wells + The Vortex animated short: “Ant Agony!”

Stars Jessica DiCicco (Adventure Time, Future Worm) as Roz, Erin Pearce (Yo Gabba Gabba!) as Uma, Jackie Buscarino (Gravity Falls, Adventure Time) as Dee, and Eric Bauza (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Breadwinners) as Togg. Music by Joel Cusumano. Everything else (writing, all visuals) by me, Jack Cusumano! Now PLEASE 🙏 share! The more views I get on this the more likely it will be able to go to series somewhere. If you like it, pass it around! Let’s get Roz Wells to series together!

Some random screencaps while I’m editing the Roz Wells “Ant Agony” short for tomorrow’s premiere.

Don’t forget if you live in LA you can see it LIVE at the Loop de Loop screening at the Downtown Independent on Friday the 14th of April (tomorrow). Doors at 8:30, show starts at 9:00. FREE admission!

Finally replaced my broken Cintiq! Here’s some new Roz Wells + The Vortex art to celebrate!

If you aren’t familiar already, Roz Wells + The Vortex is a pitch I recently took around to Nick, Disney & CN. So far no one’s taken me up on it, so I’ve been sharing it on Tumblr instead of hiding it away.

It centers around a human girl (Roz), her gray “alien” friend Umma and sasquatch Dee who all form a band called The Vortex to rebel against the status quo of their junior high existence.

Read a bit more here, although I’m still holding back a few characters & bits from the show bible...
