Martian Blueberry Joins Partizan’s Animation Roster

Martian Blueberry, the acclaimed animation studio co-founded by Carl Jones and Love Jones, has officially become part of L.A.-based Partizan’s lineup of animation directors.

About Carl Jones

Carl Jones is renowned for his role as co-executive producer on the Peabody Award-winning The Boondocks, which is celebrated as one of the most impactful animated series in television history. His impressive portfolio also includes Black Dynamite (Adult Swim) and Young Love (Max), inspired by the Oscar-winning short Hair Love. Partnering with Love Jones, who brings a wealth of experience from entertainment, music, and startups, they established Martian Blueberry with a mission to emphasize unique voices and visions in storytelling, particularly focusing on complex characters and underrepresented narratives, all while fostering a production model that champions flexibility and creative autonomy.

The Genesis of Their Partnership

“Love’s background in entertainment and music, combined with her startup experience, made her the ideal partner for launching an animation studio,” Carl Jones shares. “We formed our partnership at the onset of COVID — not only due to the rising demand for animation but also because Love motivated me to transform a long-held dream into reality.”

Award-Winning Achievements

Since its inception, Martian Blueberry has received significant industry recognition, including two Clio Awards for co-directing Megan Thee Stallion’s “Neva Play” music video alongside Warren Fu. Their animated series Undeniable, which highlights the true stories of Negro League heroes, has garnered three Clio Awards and a Webby for Best Animation. The studio’s diverse portfolio spans various platforms, producing branded content for major networks like MTV, HBO, Amazon, and Meta, as well as the gamified spatial mini-series Unlimited for Walmart.

Innovative Projects

One of the studio’s most ambitious projects is Bubblegoose Ballers, an original Web3-born intellectual property that has blossomed into a multi-platform universe. Known for its sharp humor and cultural relevance, this property has generated everything from digital collectibles and a successful mixtape to sold-out retail collaborations with Pacsun and licensing agreements across fashion, comics, and entertainment. With a sellout launch and over 30 million GIPHY views, Bubblegoose Ballers exemplifies Martian Blueberry’s ability to craft characters and worlds that resonate across culture, content, and commerce.

Industry Perspectives

“[Martian Blueberry] creates worlds that are entirely fantastical yet deeply relatable. We are huge fans of The Boondocks, and even in their commercial endeavors, they approach every project with a holistic, story-first mindset, always considering cultural impact,” states Angela Foster, Partizan’s Executive Producer of Animation. “Carl is an exceptional writer and director with keen instincts, making their comedic work hit that rare sweet spot — intelligent, bold, and genuinely humorous. I am thrilled to have them on our roster.”

Love Jones adds, “We appreciate the creative culture that Partizan has cultivated. It’s a collaborative environment filled with passionate individuals who genuinely care about storytelling and film. Plus, they have an impressive roster of talent and a great eye for tastemakers. We’re excited to join their family, and they’ve welcomed us warmly.”
