Reuse, Recycle

I've mentioned this before, but I just love recycling old designs to create something new.  Here are two current examples of that.

A few years ago I drew this Sandhill Crane.

Well, this past month I traced that crane in Affinity Designer on my iPad and created a coloring sheet out of it. Here’s a sneak peak of that.  It’s my first coloring page that is a vector rather than a raster image. (And if you’re my newsletter subscriber, you’ll be getting a free download of this soon!)

With the crane, I made a coloring page design from an older art print design.  Now, I'm working opposite -- turning a coloring page design into an art print.

Here is the original reef fish coloring page. I drew it just a few months ago.

And then here is an in-process pic of where I'm at with creating an art print out of the design.

I just love those reef fish, because they take me back to snorkeling in Maui.
