Digital Sketchbook:
The ins and outs of finding style. Some of these projects turned out quite lovely. Some of them, not so much. Every last one of them chronicles a journey, though….and sometimes you never know when looking over an old process leads to a new insight.
This creative process journal is an open sketchbook of every indulgence pursued, every half-baked idea sorta put together, and every little happy accident in one place. Take a journey from now back to the very beginning of each of these posts.
