Work Process - Rose City Con Portfolio Book

This is the level of preparation which goes into most of my work.

Countless print samples, color tests, and quality checks.

This is about half of the material I have left from the preparation for the 2015 Rose City Comic Con Print Portfolios which I handed out.

It's this level of processing which gives me pride.

Work Today

This piece is a landmark piece for the day I began work in my new studio space.

I awoke with a severe sense of knowledge that it was time to get to work, but I was paralyzed with physical and emotional fatigue... and an irrational fear of motivation to work.  This is not normal for me, and it was not okay.

So, with clarity that it was time to "get moving" I promptly jumped to my drawing table and captured the moment of that fear.

I felt it was powerful and true enough to turn it into my fall and winter business card, use it as the cover for my 2015 Rose City Portfolio cover, and as web banners.

All good things which are true can be used as powerful motivation.
