Over-titled

Forget get "untitled," I'm all about "over-titled." I have had some inquiries as to "how the hell do you come up with those titles?" for my illustrations. Plain and simple...it just happens. The titles usually come to me during the early pencil sketch process and that kinda helps me finish or add elements to the final product. I view these not just as illustrations but more of characters in their own world, and I try to think "what would this person say, or what would be said about them." However sometimes, the title comes before I even hit the paper and start sketching. Most are innocent names and such, but others hold a more personal secretive meaning. Some people can figure them out, others can't, and some just make up their own reasons (which I love to hear). Although I tend to keep things a bit enigmatic, (which most people can't stand about me) it suits my work the best. That's it for today, I gotta get back to finishing a painting I started a few months ago and still haven't gotten a hot minute to finish. 'Till next time....stay alive.
