Azadae was featured in an article on toonbarn! Check it out! And if you’re interested, you should check out our Kickstarter!

We may be using another crowdfunding platform in the future, I've been looking for ones without deadlines but those are usually centered around a single artist rather than a show. If you know some good crowdfunding/donation websites for fundraising let me know!

I did some sketches of Azadae and her friends at our CTN table.

Hello! 

I'm here to tell you about our new show set in Tanzania. 

Our main character is Azadae, an adventurous young girl who has a pet chameleon named Kiputo. Azadae learns many new things going to school with friends and living in her village. Made with the help of many young artists and animators from all over the world! Take a peek at the above film and follow us on tumblr to help spread the word about this exciting new show.

This is Pili, my best friend!

Pili is very smart and knows everything about fashion, she is always there for me. :)

Hello I'm Azadae!

These are my friends Tumaini and Pili.

The chameleon on Tumaini's bandana is Kiputo! He's showing off because we can't stretch our tongues as long as he can. But we can still try, haha :D

Pssst!

Hey there!  No, over here - up a little.  That’s me!  Blending into your wall.  I’m a chameleon.  Not only can chameleons blend into their surroundings, but I also have tongue that’s almost twice as long as my body and a 360-degree view. If you’re watching, chances are I’ve spotted you! I live in Tanzania with my human friend Azadae. Have you heard of her? She’s great! You couldn’t ask for a better friend! She’s always there to stick up for someone in a tough spot, even me sometimes! Here’s a picture of her.

Pretty great, isn’t she? Well, I got to scurry, I’ll talk to guys again soon!
