EPISODE 177: MARGO PIERCE

Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is MARGO PIERCE! Margo is an animator, storyboard artist, and rigging artist, who has worked on Smiling Friends, Clone High, and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.

Along the way, VEE and SEAN chat with MARGO about COLD EMAILING FOR JOBS, BEING CRINGE AS STUDENTS, ADVICE FROM PROFESSORS, and so much more!

While we talk, we doodle on a MAGMA, 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!
