Creative Block

Welcome to Creative Block! We’re opening our little Creative Block door for RYAN PEQUIN! Ryan worked on the shows Infinity Train, Regular Show, Close Enough, and Summer Camp Island, but he’s also the creator of the webcomic Three Word Phrase! He has experience as storyboard artist, writer, director, revisionist, and was the head writer/co-executive producer on Shape Island on Apple TV+. Along the way, we chat about getting his start in comics on a dare, being a "meat and potatoes" story artist, being a super revisionist, and so much more! While we talk, we doodle on a Google jamboard, where we draw from prompts we got on Twitter. Subscribe to hear more stories of other animation professionals!
