Although it is unknown why these were never used, I am glad they felt it was important to release these to the public. It just goes to show you that the artists themselves can become quite attached to their work and that the fans are not the only ones that enjoy their creations.

What do you think of the images? Why do you think they might have never been used, yet the artists felt they were very special? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
