  • Daylight

    Last week, the latest round of Spark ended (and once again I participated).* As in the past, that also means that I have a new crop of unpublished iterations to share with you here. The written inspiration piece I was assigned this go-round was more complex than some I’ve gotten in the past and dealt…

  • Getting Colder

    Here’s another iteration related to the discarded draft I posted earlier in December. Both were iterations for the latest round of Spark, the collaborative art and writing project to which I have alluded before. After a few weeks away from this version, I’m not sure that I like it that much anymore. What do you…

  • Unearthed

    During the recent cleaning ( and purging ) of my main hard drive, I’ve unearthed discarded folders of old work drafts and unpublished photos that have kept me busy for the last few days. This weekend was spent concentrating on photos, so today I’m focusing on illustrations to give my eyes and brain a break.…

    This weekend, I spent quite a bit of time tidying hard drives and folders of old work. It feels great to have a more orderly library of files and was fun to find old pieces I’d forgotten about. Here’s a discarded draft of an illustration that I found and liked: Curious what this piece turned…

  • More from the forgotten file…

    Another draft from the cutting room floor… While I like the composition to some extent, the color palette just isn’t working for me. Not surprised this ended up in the discarded file. What do you think?

  • Discarded

    Here’s another from the “discarded iteration file”… Giving this a second look, the direction this piece is taking doesn’t seem half bad…

  • On the cutting room floor

    A few more from the discarded work file… See the finished piece here…

  • Tidbits

    Continuing along the theme of discarded process work, here are few process iterations from my response piece for Spark, series 10 How about you? What do you do with discarded sketches or concept work from creative projects? Do you archive them, or incorporate them into some sort of presentation? Or are they simply casualties of…

  • More from the cutting room floor

    Picking up from my recent post about sharing overlooked sketches and process work, below is another installment from the cutting room floor. These are iterations from work on my response piece for Spark, series 11 Have you heard of Spark? It’s a quarterly collaborative art event that’s been ongoing for several years now. Organized by…
