Description
Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is JJ VILLARD! J.J. is a writer, storyboard artist, and is currently working as the character designer on Spider-verse 3. He designed the Mutant Mayhem logo and is the creator of King Star King.

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!
