Take a deep dive into the creative process of a passionate animator and the significance of role models in the industry. Taylor Cox's career journey is a testament to the joy of staying true to oneself and the rewards it reaps. He shares how his love for video games (especially KIRBY) in the work he collaborated with us on Adult Swim: Suck-It Smash.
