Join us for this weekly conversation between photographer Craig Cutler and illustrator Craig Frazier, whose collaboration is a testament to the unexpected alchemy of creative play. The Two Craigs project consists of one weekly prompt interpreted by the pair for 52 weeks.
Check out the full series as it unfolds.
Go backstage on the Two Craigs website to see how the pair translate the prompt through photography and illustration.
Utensil
The only thing better than shooting with a 4×5 view camera is shooting with a 8×10 view camera. The film grain from a 8×10 tri-x negative will never be surpassed by a digital file.

These are the essential utensils of my job—and have been for 50 years. They are all handheld. I draw almost exclusively with a Micron .01 pen, I cut with an Exacto Gripster knife with #11 blades. I use several brands of colored pencils, but my years as a designer has given me a great affinity for Prismacolors. I use all kinds of graphite pencils, in this case, a Berol 2H and a Blackwing. Blue painter’s tape are amongst the many tapes I use. I like Moleskine sketchbooks but the last several years I have been using archival Japanese Top Drawer sketchbooks (shown) because the binding provides for laying flat.
