Ho! New blog post about Shof and Nadia's trip to Egypt. That's right, we have a blog. In 2026. www.cokercoop.com/blog/2026/2/26/rain-in-the-desert

The wonderful folks at @ Studio KÄ have started a monthly magazine called SPARK and Crocodile Dance gets a big feature 🙌🏾. We're honored to be spotlighted alongside African animation's history, current affairs, and rising creators. Read here: en.lestudioka.com/spark?utm_ca...

I literally had a Queen Idia mask on my wall growing up. Congrats to the team @nyamakop.co.za on the release of Relooted! We hope to follow in your digital footsteps soon enough. For now, time to loot!

Time flies! Some day, we need to get around to a sequel. Also, I have so many "almost" wild stories about trying to get a feature film/tv series made.

Exactly four years ago Shof and I released our africanfuturist epic, New Masters, published by @imagecomics.com. 190 Pages of afro-scifi cool on sale for under $13! a.co/d/eafv3xE

A fresh year, and we're feeling empowered, thanks to YOU. Why? Reminder 1: Crocodile Dance is FULLY FUNDED.🐊 Reminder 2: A few Late Pledges tiers are still open for 2 more weeks: bit.ly/croc-dance-ks - Physical Novella - Physical Artbook - Associate Producer Credit

7 HOURS LEFT! The Mami Wata has been waiting for her Origin Story. bit.ly/croc-dance-ks She deserves the same craft and care Pixar & Disney gave Western Stories. Rewteet to spread the word! #animatedfilm #indieanimation #devart

We're Funded - Roukia Lives! bit.ly/croc-dance-ks What's next? Stretch Goals. First stop: $85K = Nigeria Research Trip. We visit Lagos, Badagry, Kano, record real griots, and we take you with us (virtually). Let's do this!

Take a breath* Seriously, though. Thank you to everyone who's pledged or shared, commented or checked in to see how I'm doing during this ride ❤️

Coker Co-Op@cokercoop.bsky.social · 8mo ago

We're 100% FUNDED! bit.ly/croc-dance-k... Our whole team is in awe. The support to realize this bold vision in animation is a beautiful thing. The story of Roukia and the Mami Wata will be real! #crocodiledance #africananimation #mamiwata

Getting down to the end of the Kickstarter, so.... now's the time to pledge if you've been on the fence! 🐊❤️

5 DAYS LEFT. The Final Sprint. All-or-nothing. Help us bring the Mami Wata origin story to life! bit.ly/croc-dance-ks #CrocodileDance #Kickstarter #africananimation #indieanimation

In many Western tales, you're taught to slay your monsters. In ours, you dance with them. You heal them. Our film is in its final days on Kickstarter: bit.ly/croc-dance-ks #Kickstarter #animatedfilm #crocodiledance

The weekend was legitimately rough. We had a backer pledge $10K... and then cancel within 24 hours. *Pretty sure it was a troll*. That said, the community response has been incredible. We're almost back to our pre-troll total!

Coker Co-Op@cokercoop.bsky.social · 8mo ago

A BIG @kickstarter.com pledge cancelled. We dropped 14% overnight. It happens. If this story matters to you: RT, share, tell someone. bit.ly/croc-dance-ks The Mami Wata doesn't go down that easy. We're going to make this film! #projectwelove #kickstarter #indiefilm #defiant

What indeed? Well, an amazing trade, for one! Shof led writing on this final issue, and what he put together is hauntingly beautiful.

This looks super cool! #Africanfuturism! Their kickstarter is in the link. Just sent my contribution, too. 🐊 brittlepaper.com/2025/11/supp...
