A bit of news not related to art, but it makes us happy nonetheless.
Happy (belated) Human Rights Day!

Frozen Sequel Pitch
We held out longer than almost everyone we knew, but to no avail. In less than a month, the movie Frozen has changed the way our home operates. Trips to the grocery store take a dangerous turn when the nearly-three-year-old spots “Snowball!” Even worse, us adults have created full-length rewrites of the songs for communication purposes. (The winner thus far is “Do You Have To Be a Grump-Ass?”)
We decided to sell out create a sequel to this blockbuster, and the screenplay is now in progress. It’s set in modern times, based on a true story, and the protagonist is a toddler with the amazing ability to turn things …
Wait for it …
We are seeking representation. If you know of any good agents or have an in with Disney, please forward our information.
We’ll remember you when we’re famous.

New Work
This is one of my favorite projects to date. I was recently asked to design the new logo for Northern Pacific, a local band for which Tacoma’s own Stephanie Anne Johnson is vocalist, and here it is. We’ll provide links to their music once it’s available online. You will not be disappointed.
Cheers!

“Unicoooorn!! Unicoooooorn!”
For my birthday this year, Tim gave me a DVD of “The Last Unicorn.” It has to be one of my favorite presents of all time. The artwork is gorgeous and the stories behind the movie are just as interesting as the plot itself. I remember watching the film as a young kid overseas, and now I love sharing this experience with mine. The fact that our 2-year-old just said “harpy” yesterday for the first time should attest to how many times we have watched it since July.
So while watching the special features interview with Peter S. Beagle, the author of the novel upon which the film is based, I learned that the film would be screened in theaters for the first time since its release. Tacoma is going to be one of the lucky cities on the tour! There will be three showings at the Blue Mouse Theater on November 8, and the author will be present at each one. Just as cool, artist Dana Simpson will be joining the tour. In addition to being one of my favorite co-workers from back in the day, she is the author of Heavenly Nostrils, a comic about a girl named Phoebe and her magical unicorn, which you can (and should!) now buy in book form.
To get your tickets and see if the film will be coming to your town, check out www.lastunicorntour.com.

Tim Was Going to Post New Work
Tim was going to post new work, but he didn’t. So here’s an old performance piece of his back when we lived in the Artist Lofts in downtown Tacoma.
I believe it’s some of his most inspired work.
