EPISODE 211: KENNEDY FREEMAN

Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is KENNEDY FREEMAN! Kennedy is a storyboard artist, prop designer, and animator who has worked on various Japanese productions through their indie anime studio, Luv Letter. They are working on their proof of concept for their webseries Toward Galaxy's End. In this episode, SEAN and VEE talk to KENNEDY about WORKING IN ANIME, PROCESS OF GETTING AN INTERNSHIP, and so much more. While we talk, we doodle on a MAGMA, where we draw from prompts we got on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, THREADS, NEWGROUNDS, and PATREON.
