Drawing Super Mario, EarthBound & Growing Up on Newgrounds ft. ZachJaDa

On this episode of FrankJavCee FM, I'm joined by the incredibly talented artist, musician, and VTuber, ZachJaDa! We dive deep into our shared love for the Super Nintendo era, talk about his roots on Newgrounds, and explore how he finds his flow state while creating art. Plus, we debate the hardest things to draw (spoiler: it's cars), share wild stories about internet communities, and reminisce about the golden age of YouTube animation and SpongeBob SquarePants. We also touch on his music under the name PJBerri, the creation of Kibble Fest, and the liminal horror of Quest 64. Grab a dirty Dr. Pepper and get ready for some serious nostalgia!
