The end product becomes the illustrated story of my process. Looking at a completed work of art that I created brings me back to the pleasant (and sometimes unpleasant) memories of creating the work. It brings me back to the battles of understanding the concept, the trial and error of sometimes creating many preliminary sketches of how I wanted to portray my idea, creating a final piece and realizing that I must go back to the drawing board because I have failed to understand the concept completely (etc). On the other hand, once I have suffered through these battles, I can look at the finished piece and remember the hard work that was employed to design the piece. I can retain the immense amount of information that was learned through the process and feel proud of the effort put forth to simply gain an understanding. Then, once the art has been produced, I enter it in juried contests, galleries and art expos with the intent of selling the piece. All of this passion and effort put forth so that I can simply kiss away the piece once it is (hopefully) sold, and remember it through the photos that I took of the process and the end product.
