Welcome to CREATIVE BLOCK! This week's guest is LIZA SINGER! Liza was a feature story artist on the Avatar: the Last Airbender movie and a director at Titmouse and Marvel/Disney. They are currently writing and illustrating the graphic novel Wayward: Fractured Shadows, which is set to release in 2025/2026 through MacMillan.
Along the way, VEE and SEAN chat with LIZA about GROWING WITH YOUR OCS, DEVELOPING YOUR RANGE, ADVERTISING BOARDS VS TV BOARDS, 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!
