Creative Block

Welcome to CREATIVE BLOCK! This week's guest is ALEX CLINE! Alex is a storyboard artist, character designer, and comic artist who worked on Frog and Toad, City of Ghosts, Summer Camp Island, Bojack Horseman, and Regular Show. Along the way, Vee and Sean chat with Alex about GETTING HIS FIRST JOB FROM HIS SHORT, TESTING FOR REGULAR SHOW, MOMENTS THEY WISHED THEY HAD AN EDITOR, 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.
