EPISODE 167: JENNIE GYLLBLAD
Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is JENNIE GYLLBLAD! Jennie is Kickstarting a memoir comic about her grandmother called Farmor Stina. Connecting historical research with personal photos and diary entries, the comic chronicles her grandmother's experiences in WW2 Sweden.

Along the way, VEE and SEAN chat with JENNIE about the TONAL SHIFT FROM HER NORMAL WORK AND HER CURRENT PROJECT, CREATING COMICS, THE KICKSTARTER, 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!
