Welcome to CREATIVE BLOCK! This week's guest is JESS CUFFE! Jess is a storyboard artist, director, and character designer whose work can be seen in Invincible, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, and Legion of Superheroes.

Along the way, VEE and SEAN chat with JESS about GETTING HER FIRST JOB AT MARVEL ANIMATION, ANIME, WORKING ON ESTABLISHED FRANCHISES, and so much more!

While we talk, we doodle on a Google Jamboard, where we draw from prompts we got on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, THREADS, and PATREON. Subscribe to our channel to hear more stories of other animation professionals!
