Another lost file, or am I losing my mind?

I’ve got to get organized…for the next book. My problem is that I feel that I’m losing pictures that I’ve already colored, but now I’m getting the feeling that I only think that I’ve painted them. All of the images I’ve painted are on this blog, and when I look for the “missing” pictures, they’re not here, which definitely means I never painted them in the first place. Mystery solved.

For the next book I’m going to get organized. When I started this book I had a casual system, but somewhere along the line I got sloppy. Too frequently my “systems” become an inconvenient pain to deal with and I just start winging it. I end up stashing files on iCloud, or on OneDrive, or in Dropbox, or in whatever directory I happen to be working in.

Here’s the directory system I’ll use for my next book. I got this idea from my partner, who is very, very organized. It’s simple enough that I will be able to work with it.

Today’s image shows the Jay family about to get on the Moustache Bus. This is one of my favorite scenes.
