Nothing is scarier than a blank piece of paper (except maybe a blank screen)!

Working on a one sheet for one of our show concepts recently, I wrestled with 4 or 5 different ideas for that key piece of art. In one image I needed to convey a sense of what the show is about, who the main character is, and still leave the viewer wanting to know more about the show.

After several rough sketches and revisions I finally realized I had to commit to a direction. I wasn’t going to know for sure if this was the best way to pitch the show, I just needed to go with my gut and commit to a direction.

Once I did that I was able to push everything else aside and commit my creative energy to this singular focus.

[Beginning next month at timbuktoons.com we'll start showing the visual development of our latest show: Guardian High]
