EPISODE 148: REBECCA KIRBY

Creative Block

Welcome to CREATIVE BLOCK! This week's guest is REBECCA KIRBY AKA REWEKI! Rebecca is an illustrator and cartoonist. They've worked as a revisionist on Adventure Time Distant Lands, done freelance illustrations for Vice, Fantagraphics NOW, and BOOM Studios. You can check some of her illustrations and shirt designs in her shop!

Along the way, VEE and KATIE chat with REBECCA about BEING SELF-EMPLOYED, PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS, COMING IT UP WITH BEEF, 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!
