Lauren Brown
b'If you saw the Google Doodle earlier this month of gaming trailblazer Gerald \\u201cJerry\\u201d Lawson, then you\\u2019ve gotten a sample of the amazing work of this week\\u2019s guest \\u2014 art director and illustrator Lauren Brown.\\n\\nLauren talked to me about the ins and outs of her current role at Wizards of the Coast, which includes doing art direction for the popular Magic the Gathering game series. She also spoke about growing up in New Jersey and attending undergrad there, getting her MFA at Savannah College of Art and Design, and shared how she started her career in animation and gaming from there. Lauren is also a podcaster, so we talked shop a little bit about her show Painted in Color, and she delved into what the podcast has taught her over the years. If you\\u2019re interested in getting into animation, then I hope Lauren\\u2019s story inspires you to follow your dreams!'
