Guy has challenged our three artists—John, Ginger, and Sammy—to create an original artwork inspired by… a paperclip!

With five hours on the clock, each artist dives into what they love most, sparking new creative directions: Sammy experiments with new character design techniques with recycled materials for their stop motion animation, Ginger is building a marionette style puppet out of felt, and as for John—he’s gone rogue with a coat hanger sculpture for his sci-fi cinematic AI god short film, so anything could happen! Hopefully there are no injuries… (spoiler alert).

And what’s better than one game? TWO GAMES, so we’ve thrown in a game cooked up by our perpetually put-upon production assistant, Mia. This episode is all about play!

Two artists have to create an illustration together.
But they have to overcome 3 obstacles:

1. They only have one hour.
2. They are each given different inspirations they have to incorporate into their artwork
3. They are not allowed to communicate with each other.

The two wonderful artists are:
Ginger Taylor & Sammy Lewis
