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 #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.

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
