EPISODE 161: PAT KAIN Creative Block

Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is PAT KAIN! Pat worked on Beavis and Butthead, Apple and Onion, and Superjail. His past credits include director, storyboard artist, animator, and character designer. His comic Rorg of the Blood Swamp is available now through Pat's Etsy!



Along the way, VEE and IAN chat with PAT about CANCELLED PROJECTS, MOVING TO LOS ANGELES, TIPS FOR CURRENT STUDENTS, 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!
