What do you do with your old personal artworks?
12 years ago
I cleaned up my gallery a little bit, deleted some old drawings I didn't want to look at anymore (don't worry, Kane, I saved them on hard disc for some oldfags xD). So, there is a little question for my watchers. What do you do with your old personal artworks, such as gifts to ex boyfriends/girlfriends, lost friends, maybe old unwanted fursonas, etc?
And what you do with traditional art originals? Gift them to people who don't care about depicted characters, destroy them or what? I like to destroy all old drawings, because I see mistakes. >_<"

FA+

I generally leave them up, until I look back and see how horrible all my old pieces/journals are and kinda sweep them under the rug. A lot of my pictures are gone forever, except the few random people who saved them before they were destroyed and deleted!
Then I usually give them away and watch the person get as happy as any kid who just got handed a double scoop ice cream cone.
The artwork for exes, etc. I got rid of though :/
I got rid of my drawings for exes, but it's hard to do with pictures from others, because it's still somebody's effort... 0__o
- Oooh, it's your old style, it's so cute and interesting!
- GIMME THAT, GRRRR! :E
Most is stored away in briefcases and folders that are separated by topic/artist. (One folder accumulating a cost over $2000) I have a couple hanging on my walls.
All originals, never owned a print. Anything digital I have is either saved or likely floating on this site somewhere and I've forgotten.
I tend to hoard memories of my past so I don't believe I'll be giving out anything anytime soon, but I'm always willing to part with something for the right price.
Seeing as I don't do much else associating with the fandom anymore anyways.
Old and crap I usually delete when they're making me look bad... look worse.
Art from old relationships... Depends on teh art
the rest is stored away somewhere. there is no "ex"-art left, but I had cleaned out my gallery a bit last year. mostly stuff that went unnoticed, and I thought, for a reason. not much, though, I believe into that the audience should be able to see where an artist came from, sotosay.
good ones and crappy ones.
is good to see our progression and it helps to stay humble.
Aaaand i don't like the idea of supressing what is or used to be part of me.
Не уничтожай, отдай мне!
