Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is ALEX GAMSU JENKINS! Alex is an illustrator, comic artist, and animation director and has done work for Adobe, Vans, Facebook. Check his book Whatever Where and Why to see a collection of his comics and illustrations.

Along the way, VEE and SEAN chat with ALEX about ANIMATING VS CREATING COMICS, THE MOST HELPFUL ADVICE HE RECEIVED, SOCIAL MEDIA, 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!
