Another great piece, Stacy. But it got me to wondering, you create such a high volume of illustrations, as do Ted and Wes...how in the world do you guys keep track of all these works and how do you file them so you can keep track of them? I'm am curious to know. Thanks. __Great work, as always, Stacy.
Good question. It can get messy if you aren't on top of it. I've been forced to try and be better about it.
For the paper originals I have all these ikea wood shelves. Each shelf represents a current project and for the digital I keep everything for each project in a folder with various sub folders. It's nice to have it scanned in because then I can stash away the original. I then have a color system of labeling the files so I'm aware if files have been finished. Everything is instantly backed up into two external drives.
I have accidentally saved files when they were reduced for the web and that's a pain.
Thanks, guys, I appreciate your sharing. And Stacy, that'd be great if you'd devote this subject to a blog post. I was kind of hoping for that. Thanks, again.
Little Chin Burger is my birth name. My mother, Rarebit, and my father, Cheese E., named me after my big brother, Chin Burger. Now, aren't you glad you asked? Huh?
Yowza! This is awesome, Stacy. Couldn't stop smiling. This is really good.
