Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is MORGAN NOLL! Morgan is a background painter and prop designer on Angry Birds: Mystery Island, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Digman!, and Tales of the TMNT.

In this episode, VEE and SEAN talk to MORGAN about LEARNING TO DRAW AT 23, CLASSIC LITERATURE, HOW LONG IT TOOK TO GET INTO ANIMATION, 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. Subscribe to our channel to hear more stories of other animation professionals!
