Atom, this project means more to me than I can properly put into words.
Watching the blueberry world come together for Theo — the grass mound, the tiny teapot friend, the flowers we picked together, the bee and ladybug — it all feels so thoughtful and full of heart.
Knowing this little character is being made for Theo as he prepares for his prosthetic fitting makes it incredibly meaningful for our family. It’s such a beautiful example of how art can hold kindness and imagination at the same time.
Thank you for creating something so special for my boy. We will treasure it!! 🫐🤍
How nice and thoughtful 😊 Hi 👋 Anna and Hi 👋 Atom! There was a lock on your comment icon Atom, so I popped over here to say hello. I hope that was okay? I hope you both have a nice evening! I’ll be headed back to our Politics now. ( Warning Anna: in case you’re curious- we do Not like Trump ( aka the orange devil) and His demon spawn (administration) at all…. lol 😂
I love the way you’re bringing this world to life, moving between drawing, digital creation, and now physical figures. The characters feel so full of personality and heart. And the piece you created for Theo is incredibly touching. It’s beautiful to see creativity used in such a meaningful way.
Thank you very much for that, Sunshine. It makes me so happy to hear you're enjoying these characters and the world I'm building. I really appreciate your thoughtful response :)
I'm so genuinely in love with this world you're creating. I don't scroll on here much, but every day, I feel a little tug from my inner child to open the app and see what you've posted. My childhood wasn't full of fairytales and magical worlds and adorable creatures, so getting to enjoy Studio Heartfelt now, as an adult, while I'm working through my pain and trauma, means more to me than you will likely ever know. So thank you 💜
Debs, where to begin. Thank you for expressing this, I hear you in my own way. All of this is unfolding really organically as I move through life, they are the stories that are coming out of me and i’m really letting it happen. I
t’s been really healing for me as well, and my inner child is really proud of what’s happening. I appreciate hearing from you and thankful to connect with folks like you who get what i’m doing, and feel it.
It’s been comforting creating this world and imagining what the world could be - I feel blessed to finally be combining all of my passions and different mediums from drawing, storytelling/poems, film making, and working with GenAI to amplify all of it - this is the beginning of an important time in my life, and sincerely thank you for being here and being apart of it as it’s unfolding.
It's so lovely to hear how healing it is for you. I'm trying to so similar with my work - just letting it unfolded at its own pace, without forcing anything. It's freeing.
I honestly can't wait to see what happens next on this wonderful journey of yours 🥰
Thank you for sharing this, atom. I really love the these slow vignette scenes, they feel almost like tiny emotional worlds rather than just images. The softness of the characters and the cinematic framing make the scenes feel very intentional. Really lovely work. 🩷🦩
Your work is such a beautiful reminder that AI doesn’t have to replace craft, it can actually extend it into new storytelling formats.
Ah thank you, AMG - that’s very kind & thoughtful ❤️ I really appreciate this - I’m a little bummed the broader conversation is often about speed, optimization & output - while no doubt am I leap frogging a tonnn - I.e. true stop-motion is extremely laborious - a light goes out while shooting stills … might need to redo that entire scene - I recognize what I do can’t compare - like apples and oranges - butttt sorry - there is a point in here haha - I’m hopeful to see more folks reframe ai as an amplifier for human creativity - I feel like that sentiment is getting thrown around far too loosely 😆 - imo there is so much work that needs to be done before ai is brought into the fold - I’m not collaborating with ai I’m dictating a specific vision - I appreciate everyone here having an open mind - I know you get it
Oh oh! Looks like it’s scheduled for delivery today!! 🤗🌸 thank you again - I hope you love it - and if you don’t or you need a different size let me know!! ❤️
I’m a fan of creating source material and adapting it, it’s incredible way to amplify creative ideas - if anything I’m having way more creative thoughts as I’m building the world of Studio Heartfelt - a lot of the ai stuff coming out… i’m a bit disappointed by the lack of creative application i’m seeing - but hey - I can’t control that - my work uses AI - though not rooted in AI - it’s human - its me. I feel i’ll probably be “defending” my work for a while as ai is quite polarizing - thanks for having an open mind Marvin!
The Fire Horse vignette resonated the most for me. My absolute favorite is "Every Night I Leave My Body". I watch it so often! My favorite character is that sweet little cloud. Thank you so much for sharing your work. Your Theo work is very heartfelt, indeed❣️

Wonderful.
I've been shying away from ai, but maybe I should not be shying away from it all.
Thank you, Marvin!

This is simply brilliant. Creative, humorous, educational, heartfelt, what more could we ask for?
Ah, too sweet! Thank you, Jenni 🌸

Man oh man, thank you!, Therapy Truck 🌸 very kind of you
I’m embarrassed to say that while reading the Quarterly, I finally got ‘Heartfelt’! Heart. Felt. Felt - ooooohhhhh!
I felt so stupid, but it did give me quite a laugh.
How very clever of you❣️
Ha! I’m glad you enjoyed a little chuckle :)
