Blog: December 2nd, 2006Not a week goes by that I don’t check my inbox and see a variation of the following question: “Mr. Bell/Darrin/Moron, how do you get the characters in ‘Candorville’ to seem so three-dimensional?

Blog: December 24th, 2006Is it just me, or does anyone else think this is something we should have done THREE @#$% YEARS AGO?
