ADVICE

Preserve Originals, Use Scans

  • Avoid drawing on fragile originals; use high-quality scans and lay art over facsimiles instead.
  • Preserve the object and achieve the same visual effect by compositing scanned paper beneath new artwork.
INSIGHT

Objects Are Seeds, Not Full Stories

  • An evocative object can spark many stories but isn't itself a finished idea.
  • The creator must make decisions about time, protagonist, and stance to turn inspiration into a story.
ADVICE

Turn Blank Pages Into Narrative Leads

  • When primary material is sparse, exploit the blanks as narrative leads about absence or loss.
  • Use negative space in objects to suggest mystery, history, or dramatic inference.
