Fong! Grace has created art content for speculative fiction publications and promotional material for authors - including designing the weapons for my very own Powder Mage RPG - and has exhibited regularly at conventions. She’s also published short fiction in Uncanny Magazine. For her day job she’s worked as a narrative designer for Magic: the Gathering, and spent ten years as a senior technical artist on blockbuster movies and AAA video games.</p><p><br></p><p>Grace and I chat about her work with movie and game studios as an animation problem-solver. We go over the insane complexity of these studios and the hard work that goes into rendering as much as a single frame of animation. We also swap medical stories and discuss the difficulty of dealing with healthcare when you’re working gigs, changing companies, or self-employed. Enjoy my conversation with Grace P. Fong!</p><p><br></p><p>Find Grace on <a href=\"https://twitter.com/fictograph\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter</a> and her <a href=\"https://gracepfong.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">website</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Find Brian McClellan at his <a href=\"https://www.brianmcclellan.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">website</a>, on <a href=\"https://twitter.com/BrianTMcClellan\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter</a> and <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/brian.mcclellan/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a>, or find his books on <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Brian-McClellan/e/B009IA053A\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon</a>, direct from his <a href=\"https://www.brianmcclellan.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">bookstore</a>, or wherever books are sold!</p><p><br></p><p>Don't forget to support the show on <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/pagebreak\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Patreon</a>, or pick up some swag on <a href=\"https://www.redbubble.com/people/brian-mcclellan/shop?asc=u&amp;ref=account-nav-dropdown\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Redbubble</a>.</p>","author_name":"Brian McClellan"}
