The Retrospective

Sometimes the big apple beckons, and some of the staffers at The Retrospective answer the call. Thursday, found Jason, Alicia and I all in NYC taking in the temperate weather and of course all the sights and sounds. We all met up late Thursday evening at Blue Ginger for some delicious sushi. The restaurant has some […]

This past Saturday I had the chance to catch up with Mimi Cook, who just happens to be Apple’s Creative Director, over lunch. We went to the Americano Cafe near the pier in San Francisco. You couldn’t have asked for a better day- beautiful weather, warm breeze, salt air from the ocean and of course lunch with a […]

It’s been a pretty busy couple of months for the staffers here at The Retrospective. When we aren’t engaged in bringing you the latest and greatest we all work respective day jobs. That being said, the lack of updates hasn’t gone unnoticed. We are asking our readers far and wide if they are interested in […]

Here are some photos from our contest winner “Little One” hanging out with Shiny Toy Guns:

*UPDATE: CONGRATULATIONS TO “LITTLE ONE” FOR WINNING THE CONTEST!!! THANKS TO ALL WHO PLAYED

Are you a Shiny Toy Guns fan? Well a good friend of the site, Rick Bober, has given us the chance to try something pretty cool. The Retrospective will be giving away a meet and greet pass for the Shiny Toy Guys show […]

Wow, this has been such a busy week; Jason and I are both battling the perils of midterms that are soon to come. Anyway, on to more important matters at hand.

There’s nothing like getting your face out there and rubbing elbows with whom may one day be your peers. As I’m getting closer to completing my BFA in graphic design at the Academy of Art I’ve […]

Wow it has been sometime since Jason and I have had time to write anything for the site but, we’re both hoping that’s about to change. I’ve been trying for awhile to get my head around the WordPress codex to build a customized version. Unfortunately, over time it’s been frustrating and I’ve half assed it […]

So yeah, hello everyone! I’m writing this from the library on campus ugh…I haven’t received my new notebook. If you don’t already know, I am now residing on the west coast in San Francisco where I am finishing up my last few years of academia at The Academy of Art University. The school, the city, […]

It’s FINALLY here! Two years in the making blood, sweat, and tears (web standards)! After much hype The Retrospective has arrived for all to experience and let me tell you, I want to bloody cry. Coupled with the pressure of a timely release, the apprehension of picking open old wounds in order to arrive at this* point has paid off because we are now *gasp* open for browsing.
