Welcome to the stairwell that tells the story of a studio…one step and sketch at a time. Cartoon Network Studios (Cns) today announced the launch of a dedicated website that will serve as the virtual home for its iconic Artist Stairwell space.

From 2000 to 2023, the Cns building in Downtown Burbank stood as a vibrant symbol of creativity and a nurturing ground for original animation and artists of diverse talents and backgrounds. It was not merely a workplace, but a canvas for imagination and innovation.

Among the many areas of the building that symbolized this spirit was the, now iconic, Cns Artist Stairwell. This space was a living testament to the studio’s collective creativity, where anyone from artists to accountants and everyone in between, left their unique mark on the walls in the form of drawings, doodles, and sketches.

The book covers ground with each cast member including Quintel, Paula Spence, Sean Szeles, Calvin Wong,...
