EPISODE 142: JESSICA BORUTSKI

Creative Block

Welcome to CREATIVE BLOCK! This week's guest is JESSICA BORUTSKI! JESSICA worked as creative producer on Bunnicula, did storyboards on the Snoopy Show, directed on Thundercats Roar, and worked as character designer and director on the New Looney Tunes Show!

Along the way, VEE and KARL chat with Jessica about GETTING HER START IN ANIMATION, UNCONVENTIONAL EXPERIENCE ON BUNNICULA, NAVIGATING "HARD SHOWS", 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!
