Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is Raj Brueggemann! Raj is a storyboard artist, writer, and director who has worked on Big City Greens, Jellystone, and Pinky Malinky! He's also developed projects at Cartoon Network and Disney.

Along the way, VEE and SEAN chat with RAJ about STARTING AN ANIMATION CLUB IN COLLEGE, “HURRY UP AND WAIT” PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT, GROWING FROM DEFEAT, 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!
