EPISODE 143: MOSS LAWTON

Creative Block

Welcome to CREATIVE BLOCK! This week's guest is MOSS LAWTON! Moss is a director on Monster High. They storyboarded on the Invader ZIM movie, the Pokemon shorts "Bidoof's Big Stand/Path to the Peak," and Monsters at Work. Their comic Hellaween is available now!

Along the way, VEE and SEAN chat with MOSS about FINDING WORK, COMING UP WITH HELLAWEEN, THEIR LOVE OF FILES AND PROGRAMS, and so much more!

While we talk, we doodle on a Google Jamboard, where we draw from prompts we got on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, THREADS, and PATREON. Subscribe to our channel to hear more stories of other animation professionals!
