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!

Weronika Marianna
Today’s interview is with one of my all time favorite animators: Weronika Marianna. Weronika’s animated worlds are filled with beautiful colors and absolutely incredible painterly textures—I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with her work on Instagram (@weronikamarianna) if you haven’t already before listening. I couldn’t be more excited to share our conversation with you today, and hope you enjoy listening as much as I did getting to speak with her!

Jenna Caravello
In this episode, I sat down with multidisciplinary artist, animator, and game designer Jenna Caravello! In this incredible conversation, we discussed everything from the grey area between video games and the fine art world to the ethics of using other people's tools to create your own work and so much more. With her performance piece, 'lovelike' coming up this Friday (08/18) in Los Angeles, listen to find out what magic you can expect to see if you attend!
