Description

This podcast, hosted by veteran animator Brian Finlay, is a long format interview style podcast featuring creative professionals in animation and film!

Not only do we talk about their successes but we also talk about the failures that come along the way, how do they over come when the odds are against them? How do they get past the self doubt? Why do they go to bed and wake up thinking about their artistic passion?

To put it in simple terms, they are Drawn To It!

This episode reminded me so much of why I fell in love witth animation and creativity. Brandon approaches his work with a frame of mind that I have nothing but respect for. He does not waste energy trying to chase the quality of his heero's and then beating himself up over falling short. Instead he enjoys where he is in the moment and just lets his artistic voice come through. A lot of us can not say the same, not if we are truly being honest.   Thank you for inspiring me Brandon!   Follow Brandon here: YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/bmaniscool1   Instagram: @brandonhickscomics   _________________________________________________ Follow Drawn To  It Studios and our podcasts and film content here: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drawntoitpodcast Website: https://www.dtipodcast.com
