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latest round of Spark ended (and once again I participated).* As in the past, that also means that I have a new crop of unpublished iterations to share with you here.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the recent cleaning ( and purging ) of my main hard drive, I’ve unearthed discarded folders of old work drafts and unpublished photos that have kept me busy for the last few days.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.…

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

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…
