This week’s Art Zone, presented in trendy 140-character Twitter format. 8:32am: Morning Meeting. Always fun to watch crew's attempts to stay out of the way of camera and lights. I say this while lurking behind a curtain. 9:51am: Jose Gonzales is in the house, with another list of recommendations destined to drive[More]

Art Zone Backstage Blog 11: Déjà vu All Over Again

Art Zone Backstage Blog 10: Rockin’ Robin (tweet, tweet, tweet)

This week’s Art Zone Open Studio show, presented in trendy 140-character Twitter format. 8am: Morning meeting. Director Travis mentions that today’s guests include one of the 12 sexiest bald men in the world. Uneasy silence follows. 8:20am: Trays of cupcakes, muffins, and other goodies everywhere. Office looks like the site of peace[More]

Art Zone Backstage Blog 9: Climate Change

So, what happened was, the air conditioner in the Art Zone studio went kerblammo, a potentially disastrous occurrence that, in defiance of both logic and the laws of physics, somehow ended up making the studio colder. Meanwhile, my work area, which is normally so frigid that you can actually feel the air[More]

Art Zone Backstage Blog #8: Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

It was a bit of a transitional week at the Art Zone Studios, as we experienced a major giveth and taketh away situation in the director chair. First up, time to bid a fond farewell to Steve Wilson, who did an unbelievable job filling in for the last three months. Thanks mightily,[More]

Art Zone Backstage Blog #7: Don’t call it a comeback

And … we’re back? The first show of the New Year found the Art Zone crew tan, fit, rested, and ready to go. Well, rested, anyway. Still, once we worked through a few early rusty spots -- and director Steve Wilson’s desperate need for a lozenge -- the end result was a[More]

Art Zone Backstage Blog #6: Carving the Roast Beast

[Department of corrections: In a previous blog entry, Art Zone graphics master Sonja Watson was erroneously depicted as a Twilight enthusiast. The author sincerely regrets this mischaracterization. She’s more of a connoisseur.] So, anyway, the taping of the final show of the first half of Art Zone with Nancy Guppy was, to[More]

Art Zone Backstage Blog #5: Feelin’ Groovy

The taping of this week’s Art Zone with Nancy Guppy was tinged with tragedy, as we said farewell to a steadfast member of the crew, one who rarely complained and only occasionally smoked on set. You will be missed, giant background lava lamp. If it’s any consolation, though, I have a feeling[More]

Art Zone Backstage Blog #4: The Can-Do State

Chalk it up to turkey afterglow, maybe, but this week saw one of the smoothest Art Zone tapings in memory, as even the potentially sticky situations -- six guests, in costume, milling around in a small room with a glass punchbowl -- proceeded with negative perspiration. This state of spooky grace was[More]
