Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is LOIC LOCATELLI. Loic is a comic artist, background artist, character designer, and illustrator. His comics, FLAVOR GIRLS and PERSEPHONE, were published by Archaia/Boom Studios.

Along the way, VEE chats with LOIC about GETTING HIS START IN ANIMATION IN JAPAN, TRANSITIONING TO FREELANCE, HIS SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETING A COMIC, and so much more!

While we talk, we doodle on a JAMBOARD, 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!
