My name is Laura Nugent (Once known as Rekkerth), from Rochester, NY. I have a BFA in graphic design from SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design). I spend my days putting my skills to “good” use – running, office managing, and working in landscaping with my husband.
I’ve been running since 2004. Distance running since 2011. Ultra running since 2014. A member of the Mountain Peak Fitness/ Red Newt Racing trail running team since 2016.
I like trails. I like Mountains. I like getting the most out of everyday.

Love your stuff!! i def remember seeing you at can lake… what a fantastic day!! congrats!
So just to explain my random kudos, I was in a bar working on a sketch last weekend, and I ran into Lisa and Rob. We immediately recognized each other from multiple local running groups. They were admiring my sketch, which lead to a discussion of me getting my first tattoo, which lead to Lisa asking if I knew you, as well as raving about how you’re such a talented graphic designer and have awesome tattoos. The graphic design reference piqued my interest because about a dozen people have asked for my card during the past three months when I’ve been out in public drawing in bars and coffee shops. Of course, I have no business card. When I started drawing three months ago, I never dreamed I’d need business cards. It was really just for me. So long story short, I might be hitting up CatPrint within the next month or so for business cards. Glad I discovered your site! On a side note, your logo designs are fantastic, as is your resume of Ultra events. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! And thanks for reaching out. I’d love to know what your thinking of getting for you first tattoo? And what artist? Let me know if I can help at all with getting you those business cards!
I actually already got the first part of it done in early March. It’s a two-headed crow on my upper-left arm… going to be a half arm sleeve. I go for the second three hours this Thursday. Dan Ross of Art to Zen tattoo in Greece is doing it. I got several references for him, and he’s been awesome. As for the meaning… I’m a bird guy, and I’ve always loved crows. In eastern philosophy, crows are viewed as a sign of hope and new beginnings. Let’s just say that 2018 was kind of a ‘big changes’ year for me, so this seemed apropos. I’d been thinking about it for the whole year, but when I started drawing, I was able to use one of my works as a model for what I wanted. Dan had to revise it slightly to fit, but being able to basically draw it myself was special.
That’s awesome. Hope 2nd sitting went well!
Oh, happy birthday BTW. I saw on a recent Strava run that you had a birthday.
