Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is AARON LONG! Aaron is a director, musician, and indie creator. He's was a director on Bojack Horsemen, supervising director on Tucca and Bertie, and is the creator of Sublo and Tangy Mustard.
Along the way, VEE and SEAN chat with AARON about GETTING HIS START ON TRIPTANK, WORKING ON BOJACK, CREATIVE PROCESS BEHIND SUBLO AND TANGY MUSTARD and so much more!

Thanks for having me on the show, it was so fun chatting and doodling!

[@kaymakesthings]

You have such a relatable way of talking, thanks for sharing your story!

[@berniekatzroy]

One my favorite and truly underrated animators.

[@zvchary3578]

Probably the best intro to an podcast episode ever

[@sweetpea644]

You just got Sublo and Tangy Mustard-ed!

[@Dante-Zilla]

This is a great episode! Also thanks for answering my question about balancing work Vee, Sean and Aaron Long!

[@psitaccus]

I still don't get why Sublo and Tangy Mustard isn't bigger. Such a cool show!

[@adambilz9978]

Such an informative episode! Nicely done, everyone.

[@glowwormapocalypse]

Loved this episode! didn't want it to end

[@im-reginald]

uh oh and the north american house hippo are core memories for Canadians

[@kaymakesthings]

Oh my Lord, Sean that note on doing personal work first then forcing yourself to stay up late working on work-work is the most real toxic trait ever hahaha, that is me 10000% 🤪
