Names

Apr 20, 2008 00:27

I completely suck at making titles for my artwork. There's just so much "standing girl", "man face" or "monster walk" you can have, and I detest most names that mean something obscure. "Dexterity", "Sustenance" and "Grave realities" are not good names for literal illustrative works, dammit!

I admit, I do like a good metaphorical name, but there's a limit, I don't want to start my viewers thinking before they see the piece. Nor do I like having to explain why I named a picture of a transforming woman (into a bird) "wildness" or "passion". I want to let people understand it on their own.

So for a while, I'll have many more "girls", "ladies" and "*literal description of events on the picture*". For clarity's sake.
