Now I just hit send. I don’t miss the days of ink and paint and fine paper as much as I like the computer’s undo function. The vast array of digital tools and efficiency of delivery notwithstanding, it’s Command-Z that won my heart. These undo keystrokes grant freedom from the consequence of a mistake. Is my sky too blue? Just undo.
If the gateway to creativity is an indifference to the humiliation of failure, then surely the undo function gives room to experiment without fear—to unbind from error the decisions that build an image. We must still own the blunders we fail to see, but not the ones we know instantly to be wrong. That is the way of Command Zen.
So the images on this website are all digital, many of them made to only ever appear on a monitor screen. They were assigned by talented editors and art directors at publications, associations, institutions, and nonprofit organizations throughout the world. Some are images that were never published but which I nonetheless thought should be displayed. I hope you find them worthy of your attention, and if you need an illustration with similar qualities, I’d be delighted to help.
