What do you do with all your old artwork?

I have portfolios, boxes, cupboards full of drawings, paintings, shoes that I have made and when I feel that I should tidy and throw some out, I just cant. Cos they bring back memories, and alot of it is pretty good.

Do you throw out your old art or hold onto it? Where do you store it, and do you have heaps of art at home that you hold onto?

I used to throw out my art a long time ago...then my mom dug the artwork out of the trash when I wasn't looking and hung it on her walls...lol

I've pretty much kept everything I've drawn and every photograph I've ever taken over the past 15 years, even contact sheets. A lot of it is stored in an old portfolio or in boxes...and I have quite a few drawings that I've done which are framed and hanging on various walls in my apartment.

Oh thanks Byron, maybe when I was younger and the work was pretty new I could have thrown it out, but now looking back.. hmmm... dammit for being such a hoarder!

LOL,

thing is, I havent a great lot of space in my flat and when I come back to my parents house, dayum.. I got it all over the place and am wondering where I can put it when I bring it back to my place

Materials too!

Ok I have a box of art materials which I have organised, but tons of sketch pads and paper
When I was at UNI studying shoe design, I have lasts, shoes, heaps of leather hides ( that I keep should I want to make something again lol) tools you name it, I got it..

:exhausted:
