Time to Reminisce

This month's issue!

Each month a bit of joy ends up in my mailbox. Reminisce magazine and Reminisce Extra (both bi-monthly) is chalk full of wholesome memories and stories from yesteryear. Sure, lot's of unhappy things happened back then too. However if you dwell on the bad times, you'd be quite unhappy, but I think we can learn from our past. Everyone has their own trials and tribulations. What matters is how you handle them.

I think I enjoy the old pictures and advertisements the best. How I Met My Spouse is one of my favorite sections of the magazine, gives this single girl some hope. Motoring Memories always reminds me of my dad, so that is another favorite.

I have a collection too. It's one magazine that never meets the recycling bin! I think I need another chest.

This is certainly a dress that I would love to have in my wardrobe.

Reminisce Magazine also has a website www.reminisce.com along with the magazines, they have books. The latest Reminisce Growing Up is one that I received for my birthday from my mom.

Any other Reminisce Magazine subscribers out there? Would love to know what you enjoy about the magazine.

Yep, I have an opinion

Recently I wrote an opinion piece for SCAD Myriad. A family matter happened during the early part of the "supposed to be last" quarter. Unfortunately SCAD does not have a real policy for those who do go through a Family Emergency. Thankfully two of my professors were understanding and gave me time to catch up. The other professor was not as understanding, so now I am in my "supposed to be last quarter" again. Only two classes (I am quite spoiled by just two classes now). Oh and while I only need one class, taking two classes is better financially.

SCAD is a great school, it like any other place just needs to improve in some policies that it lacks.

Sequential Art Assignment F: Comic Book

Final Project for Intro to Sequential Art!

One of my projects from SCAD.

Project from Intro to Sequential Art Class. Inanimate object brought to life. I actually got a bit of therapy while drawing the tragic beer bottle. Why a beer bottle? Really couldn't think of anything, then I remembered this beer poncho that I saw at a friend's housewarming party (the party is not related to this at all, if you know me, you know I avoid parties fueled by alcohol). So this is a result.

Recently I had a mini photoshoot with my friend Jennie Thunell. Actually, I was supposed to meet someone for coffee that day, and for whatever reason it didn't work out. That was one of many cancellations that week. So instead I spent some time at North Shore Park walking with my friends Jennie and Molly :) So really it worked out well.
Here is one of the pictures.

Jennie is a great photographer, you can find her website at:

Back from the Fall

Fall quarter is finished, so now it's a vacation until the Winter quarter. Could have done better grade wise, but I was actually sort of happy that the letter grades made up one of my most favorite networks.

It was a busy quarter along with my three classes, I did ad building, worked a bit with Myriad (SCAD eLearning blog), and the biggest project was probably the work I did with a group of students from SCAD (Go Team Mishap!). We worked on a game for the Independent Game Festival. Currently it's a first level with plans of completion in 2011.

You can find the first level of our game Julia's Magnificent Mishap here: http://www.juliasmagnificentmishap.com/game.html

One of my new favorite songs from Coldplay!

Sightings of Elvis and Christmas lights and I am loving the old worn style of the set.
