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!

Sean's mic is quite distorted at the beginning, and sometimes his voice distorts later on as well—there might be something wrong with the levels. It was awesome to hear about the experiences of working on The Simpsons, as well as the insights into both animation and comics. It's great to know that starting as a production assistant gives you a better overview of the production process as an artist. The advice on connecting and collaborating with other artists is invaluable—being able to collaborate is such an important skill, especially since animation is fundamentally a collaborative format.

As for the comment about stretching intestines across the planet, that’s definitely a big exaggeration! I don’t think they would reach that far, although they could stretch quite a bit. This part might sound out of place if someone reads the review out of context!

CreativeBlockPod responds:

His mc should be good for the next record. Thanks for making it through the rough audio bits.
