Ahhh... today is the official release of Surrogates starring Bruce Willis! I helped out with some of the marketing for this film. Please go see it!

If you haven't seen any of the trailers, here is one for you:

Also, I recommend the original graphic novel that this movie stemmed from.

So I spent this morning at Walt Disney Animation Studios, previewing The Princess & The Frog. I was already pretty stoked when I was told that I had been approved by the producers to see it, but I honestly wasn't really sure what to expect.

Although I am obviously not allowed to go into full blown detail, what I can say is... OH. MY. GOD. This movie was seriously AMAZING!! Everything about it... from the comeback of the 2D animation, the coloring, the storyline, the characters, and the music. There wasn't a single moment that I thought it might have been too cheesy or something didn't make sense. In fact, I spent the entire time in my seat with my heart pounding. It definitely brought back the kid in me.

I even got a little teary-eyed during a good handful of the scenes. In fact, it has left me in the best mood ever for the remainder of the day. I was pretty much glowing when I got back into the office afterwards.

I encourage all of you to go see this as soon as you can! You won't be disappointed. In fact, I will probably go see it again once the official releases happen so I can see the full-on finished piece!

Tickets to the exclusive advanced screenings have gone on sale already. These screenings are in both Los Angeles and New York and begin November 25th. We have a special fan rate going on at our official Facebook page if you want to check it out: http://www.facebook.com/ThePrincessAndTheFrog - Just click the "Exclusives" tab!

The movie will be released everywhere else on December 11th!

From Newsvine:

"LOS ANGELES — Radio Disney is again looking for the "Next Big Thing."

The new 10-week edition of the talent search introduces five artists age 12 to 17 vying for a singles record deal with Disney Music Group. The first singer will be featured Sept. 23 as part of the daily feature.

Radio Disney says listeners will be able to watch and vote for their favorite at RadioDisney.com. The singers are also being showcased in Disney Channel promotional spots hosted by Tiffany Thornton of the TV series "Sonny With a Chance."

On Radio Disney, the "Next Big Thing" will feature interviews with the singers and in-studio performances."

If you guessed "Backstreet," then I am terribly sorry to disappoint you.

So it has been nearly two years since I've taken all of my tour footage and whatnot down from this account, packed up my bags, and went back to MySpace and my own website, with the idea that I was never really going to return. As you can see, I've made the occasional post every now and then, then a bunch of redirects to my other locations on the good ol' interweb... but for the most part, I've "vanished."

Some of you have kept up with me on other networking sites, but for those who haven't, to make a long story short, I've kept myself incredibly busy. Then again... haven't I always?

So why am I coming back? Well, there are those who have their assumptions, and you can go ahead and have 'em and spread 'em. Straight out of the horse's mouth, I don't exactly know why I decided to come back. Just one of those things, I suppose... or maybe all of my closer work lately with social media is the reason I am caving in. I don't really have any specific plans on what I'm going to start posting here, or if I'm going to be posting nearly as frequently as I used to back in the day... 

Anyway.

For those who have had no idea what I've been up to since 2007, here's a brief rundown of the cooler things:

- Occasional design for pro-athlete Tony Hawk.

- Design, team management, and marketing for the likes of Type O Negative and Whitesnake.

- Radio marketing for Michael Jackson and Akon.

- Design for Spike Lee and Babelgum.

- Design and marketing for Botched, featuring Stephen Dorff:

- Participated in the NO H8 Campaign.

- Design and marketing for Eepybird's (the Diet Coke & Mentos dudes) Sticky Note Experiment:

- Got bought by The Walt Disney Company.

- Design and marketing for the Jonas Brothers:

- Design for Blasko and The Casualties.

- Won a Webby Award for Eepybird's Sticky Note Experiment.

- Social Media design for a variety of main Disney and Pixar accounts.

- Design for FOX Reality.

- Design for G-FORCE.

- Attempted the famous Orochon Ramen Challenge:

- Attended an epic "Sea Horse Sea Shell Sea Hell" party with the Electrolightz at Johnny Depp's old house:

- Marketing for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland:

- Marketing for Tron Legacy:

- Marketing for Toy Story Double Feature & Toy Story 3D:

- Marketing for Surrogates:

...and that's just a small portion of what I can actually openly share right now.

Needless to say, I love my jobs.

Now that I think about it... you'll probably see more blogs of what I'm up to than you will photos and videos.... but then again, everything is, of course, subject to change.

With that being said, I think I'm going to go test a video game real quick before launching a Disney project.

(Did I mention that I love my job?)

Hope all has been well with you guys!
