Season 2
Dena Springer
For the final episode of Boiled Over season 2, I sat down with one of my all time favorite animators and a dear friend: Dena Springer! I've been a fan of Dena's work for almost as long as I've been animating--her soft glowing worlds immediately captivated me from the moment I first saw them. I couldn't have been more excited to get the talk with Dena all about her process, inspirations, and methodology, and I hope you enjoy the episode!

Michelle Ku
Boiled Over is back with the last two episodes of Season 2! Recorded almost a year ago, this episode features an interview with Michelle Ku: one of my all time favorite animators and illustrators. Michelle uses a wide variety of mediums and techniques to create her beautiful and colorful worlds, and has worked on many exciting projects that range equally in variety. In this episode, we talk about her journey with animation and illustration, our favorite episodes of Spongebob, and so much more!

Raman Djafari
After a brief hiatus, Boiled Over is back with an incredibly fun interview featuring Raman Djafari! Raman and I sat down last October, and while I had to put the podcast on hold due to medical shenanigans and work, I've been incredibly excited to share this episode with you all! I truly cannot begin to express what a joy it was sitting down to edit the episode after all of this time and revisit the topics we discussed-- from finding your voice as an artist to exploring new mediums and so much more. It feels so good to finally be back with a new episode, and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did getting to speak with Raman!

Elenor Kopka
This week I’m sitting down with one of my all-time favorite animators: Elenor Kopka. I’ve been a huge fan of Elenor’s work for years and years, so it was an absolute joy getting to finally speak with her about her process and take a peak behind the scenes into how she crafts her grainy and gorgeous worlds. We had a lot to talk about, so strap in and welcome back! :-) Recorded by Lije Morgan Edited by Lije Morgan Theme music by Point.Reyes Background music by Zack Dresher
Magda Kreps
This week's interview is with someone who truly knows how to embody the natural playfulness in the medium of animation: Magda Kreps! I've been a fan of Magda's work for awhile now, and am particularly interested in her character animations and sense of the cartoon body. In this episode, we talk about her sense of character proportions and what it means to break away from traditional anatomy, the struggles of working digitally vs. physically, and so much more. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as I did getting to speak with Magda, and I definitely recommend checking out her work (@magda_kreps on Instagram) before listening!
