EPISODE 173: BLAKE LEMONS

Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is BLAKE LEMONS! Blake is a writer, director, producer, and story artist for the shows Sanjay and Craig, Home: Adventures of Tip and Oh, and Arlo the Alligator Boy!

Along the way, VEE and SEAN chat with BLAKE about BEING ALLOWED TO EXPLORE AT PRATT, PITCHING SONGS FOR STORYBOARDS, BALANCING AN ANIMATION JOB WITH A CHILD,, and so much more!

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