My article on the Mascot has arrived! They did a wonderful job. The layout is simply beautiful and much more than I could have ever expected. Gorgeous! It’s such an amazing magazine and I am honored to be a part of it.
However, my bio has some errors; I think they got overlooked in the editing process. I am not getting a Masters in Art History (just history), and I already have a Masters in English. Also something not mentioned was my book coming out with the History Press and that I am currently writing a book on the Mascot. Oh well, there will be more opportunities to share the news on these.
But overall it is fantastic! Page 24! Very excited. I can’t wait to get my own copy in the mail (and pick up a few more in bookstores).
It’s also cool that Matt Sakakeeny’s article (an associate professor at Tulane) also references the Mascot!
I’m so glad to hear you are writing a book on the Mascot. I hope some of those wonderful cartoons are included. Do original copies of the Mascot still exist?
I am going to put in as many Mascot illustrations as they will let me! Yes, Tulane and the Old U.S. Mint have a great collections of original copies. They are amazing.
