Welcome to Creative Block! In this episode, we’re chatting with Reza Farazmand! Reza is a New York Times-bestselling author, writer, and creator of the webcomic series Poorly Drawn Lines. He was also the executive producer of the Poorly Drawn Lines animated series on Hulu.

Along the way, we chat about his dreamy writing process, dealing with the pressures of social media, the process of making the Poorly Drawn Lines show, and so much more!

While we talk, we doodle on a Google jamboard, where we draw from prompts we got on Twitter. Subscribe to our channel to hear more stories of other animation professionals!
