EPISODE 181: SAM GRINBERG

Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is SAM GRINBERG! Sam is a character designer on the Simpsons. You can also see his work in the comic anthology "Rust Belt Review" and the recently released mega-sized issue of the ongoing comic "Scumburbia"!

Along the way, VEE and SEAN chat with PAYTON about MAKING COMICS AS A KID, INTERNING AT THE SIMPSONS, WORKING IN BLACK AND WHITE, 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!
