2BORN02B

Some background: When I see an exceptional piece of art, I just love it. But what takes it to the next level for me, is if the artist gave it an exceptional title as well. Something poignant, or whimsical, clever, or tongue-in-cheek. Something that gives it the work another dimension to ponder. I'm so disappointed if the artist has called it something mundane and forgettable - or the dreaded, and dull as dishwater - 'Untitled'. Yuck! And well....WHY??? You put so much time and effort in to the art, doesn't that deserve an equally thought out title?

If you haven't noticed - I'm all about titles. I come up with them at the weirdest times and places. So I keep a spreadsheet of them, and when I submit, I peruse the list, fitting the right title to the piece (well in my mind it fits!). And I will admit, this is much easier to do with abstract art, than traditional art.

However, I would like you all to join in on this fun. Send me a clever title you think of. Send me a list. Via a Note. Enter once. Enter often. Do it before May 1st. When the entry period is over, me and my crackpot team of wordsmiths and nerds, will choose two honourable mentions, and one winner. The winner will get a 1 year Core+ membership, paid by moi/me (Canadian, eh?).

But here's the kicker; the what's-in-it-for-me? The winner, And honourable mentions, have to agree to let me use their titles for a submission of my work (you will get credit in the deviation note, below the submission).

If you agree to my terms - Submit your titles in a Note, by midnight, April 30th EST. Good luck to all who enter!!
