I'll admit upfront I'm a bit of pack-rat, physically and digitally, and have CDs and DVDs or lots of stuff (not all of it porn, honest), as well as a nice filing cabinet with older line-art. I (mostly) know where everything is...

Given my art for the last decade or so has been all digitally colored, this meant I relied on these to store much of my finished art along with the websites I originally posted them to. I move and consolidate stuff to DVD every so often, but not often enough it seems and I've apparently lost quite a few things. When did I realize I lost it, oh just when I thought it'd be nice to re-post it. I'm still interested in re-posting some stuff, so I've had to recreate them from line-art and recolor them anew.

It's not just a ploy to get around my inhibitions about posting older work in main gallery rather than in scraps which is my norm, honest.

Personally I'm thinking on buying SD cards to store my stuff, smaller to keep and safer. Even external HDs fail in time!

I wanna see those new oldies!! ;)
