Evolution of an Icon

I needed an icon for an app I was working for. Although I dabbled with drawing and painting in the past, I’ve never gotten beyond the basics of PhotoShop and other graphics software. So I talked to Paul, who is a graphics design guru among others. Over a span of a week, we collaborated to come up with the final icon. In only 4 iterations, no less! Thanks, Paul. You’re the man!
