A lot of the time (I guess just like in any creative proffession) you create work that either doesnt make the final cut or (for what ever reason) doesnt get shown to the wider public. Here's a few different versions of The Guardian Guide cover I did a couple of week's ago (the 3rd one down was the one that was chosen). Also here is a few New Yorker illustrations, a Billboard magazine cover and a double page spread which were all work in progress. In these cases I actually preferered them to the final pieces.
