As artists we should probably avoid the trap of hero worship – but what about becoming fans of the artists we find around us?

Today's episode is the first in the SPILLT Searchlight series where we introduce you to our favorite people in the industry that you should be a fan of too!

Taylor Cox's tale is one of constant improvement, a little struggle, and an unwavering dedication to his craft. We talk to him about his early industry days, the challenges he continues to face, and his never-ending pursuit of work that fulfills him.

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.

Taylor also sheds light on how he bridges the skill gap, making his interactions with clients enjoyable and keeping his creative spark alive.

Taylor spills the tea on his dream assignment, how he would stir change in the industry, and his insightful thoughts on the hiring process for the new Zelda games.
