Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is David C. Smith! David is a director, storyboard artist, and woodworker who has worked on Primos, Mulligan, Hotel Transylvania 4, and Angry Birds 2.

In this episode, VEE and SEAN talk to DAVID about INTERNING at CARTOON NETWORK, FINDING A HOBBY, THREE Es OF DIRECTING, 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!
