SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN
Where are the now? 2003 Alumni
Rachel (Vanatta) Noyes (B.F.A., metals and jewelry, 2003) and Justin Kingsley Noyes, (B.F.A. illustration, 2003) wrote, "After both my husband and I graduated we moved to Anna Maria Island, Fla. I started my jewelry company, Nectar Jewelry two years ago and was mostly featured in local galleries and online stores. Justin began TheIllustrationNation.com around the same time, an online store with his custom silkscreened clothing and wood cut wall art. This past November our dreams came true (through much hard work) when we opened our storefront together called The Hive Creations. The Nectar Jewelry logo includes a bee so we decided to call our shop The Hive. Our goal is to create most everything in the store ourselves, from soy candles, handbags, wall art, prints, silkcreened clothing, and more. Photos of our shop can be seen at TheHiveStore.com. Nectar Jewelry will be featured in SRQ Magazine in August of 2008 and also in Southern Living Magazine in February 2009.
Justin has had multiple children's book illustration contracts and is finishing up his fourth one at the moment. The most popular is by a local Sarasota author and called "Snuffy the Beautiful Dragon". It is based on a well known garden called The Sarasota Children's Garden, which is a popular all-natural outdoor place for children to explore and play. It can be viewed and books purchased at www.sarasotachildrensgarden.com. Justin also has 18 illustrations in a major motion picture called "The House Bunny" set to be in theaters August 22, 2008. He was commissioned by Frameworks and Happy Madison Produtions, Adam Sandler's production company out of California." (posted 07/07/08)
