Description Even when armed with the most efficient organizational systems known to man our systems seem to fall into perpetual well-meaning disorganization. We may carry around planners, agendas, and meticulously color-coded notes, but for some reason when faced with the daunting task of digital archival our instinct to organize seems to get lost in the same black hole our precious files get invariably sucked into.

A slave of the ever-voracious artist, ever creating, disposing, and tweaking, the computer is a machine set to work at the whims of its user...if only they could speak, do you think they would bemoan the way we manage our ever-growing number of cryptically-titled files? PSDs, AI files, PNGs, JPGs, everything must have at least 7 versions, as well as progression shots...oh, no, seems like "asdf6" already exists, find another name, maybe not so random this time (don't trick yourself, you'll never remember what that PSD contains anyway with a name like that).

Anyway, enjoy.

Good point you have in the description! I try to clear out unnecessary files as early as I can. Because if I wait for too long and years pass by, they suddenly got sentimental value and thus get impossible for me to let go of. (Same thing goes with the stacks of ugly pencil drawings I keep in huge ring binders. They are not pretty but they are a part of the history ).
Your drawings are really beautiful.

Yeah. I have a huuuge organizational system, actually, it's just the physical moving of files from the "working on" to "complete" to "archival" folders (of which there are approximately 75356 billion). I let them pile up in one place without bothering to further sort them, even though I have a whole folder system in place (I hope that makes sesne ahah?). I don't actually let any old pictures go, I just invest a lot in storage systems (which could be a good or a bad thing haha). I totally have old drawings in giant binders too! That's awesome.

Also, thank you!

Wow that's a lot of files! I just sort mine in yearly folders. I don't have that many files althoug it adds up over the years. But the filesize of some of them.. x_x (that may have to do with me using way too many layers ) I think it's a good thing to keep them in a storing device. That way you'll remember what you've been doing with your time when you look back in 50 years or so
