Playing God put me in a Bedknobs and Broomsticks state of mind while designing it, so I named it Traguna. What’s the deal, you ask? Spore is a new video game coming out this fall. I’m not a big […]

In the last few years, several unique documentaries have come to my attention. This could be the beginning of a new trend: behind-the-scenes examinations of existing movies produced without studio involvement.
