Hey everyone! I'm still staying afloat with art commissions and teaching online classes, so if you're interested in either just contact me via Twitter or Instagram DMs! I'm "@NicoColaleo" on both. Check out both images here for details. Thank you!

Sorry to get sappy, but this is a short message from my heart that I'd like to share with all of you. Somewhat of a quick life update, but mostly some words of thanks and appreciation for YOU. The past year or two have been a bit rough for my mental health and my career since the industry is in a major funk lately... BUT, suddenly 2025 has so far actually turned a lot of things around for me, and in this video I'll explain why. Please know: Ollie & Scoops will be back. My LA art gallery shows will be back. More additional content and video essays on this channel are on the way. In plain words: I AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE! And it's the people in my life, friends and fans alike (like you!), that are to thank!

For Indie Animation Day 2024 I made a little Ollie & Scoops sizzle reel! Thank you all for your patience as I work at being able to afford producing more O&S episodes again. I've also been pitching O&S to studios around LA this year - So wish me luck for funding and studio pitch success in the future! For now, this hiatus is temporary. There will be more episodes in time. Ollie & Scoops will *always* return!

Happy holidays everyone! Merry Christmas everyone! I forgot to mention a couple weeks ago when my first video essay for this channel debuted, but if you haven't yet, check out my newest video "How to Write MEAN Characters"! I have a ton of other ideas for video essays, plus they work as good material to go in between the wait for new Ollie & Scoops episodes! So stay tuned... and let's all have a great 2024!

If for some reason you've ever wanted to see a 20-minute documentary about me and my career, today is your lucky day. Get the whole scoop on me Nico Colaleo, Ollie & Scoops, and lots that came before it (even my Tucson AZ public access TV show?!) Even my extremely recent Emmy Award Nomination is announced! Thanks so much for producing this doc ‪@Dovendraw‬!
