So the next drawing project involves potentially 200 to 300 drawings, all of which deal with memory, family portraits, and the idea that a massive assembly of pictures might take over a wall in an imaginary house, alongside a staircase.

Today, I googled a “Title Generator” and came up with the following ten suggestions. I don’t want to limit this process to these ten; feel free to leave a comment, vote for one, or offer another one based on these possibilities.
Here are the ten potential titles (I’m not super excited about any of these, necessarily, so feel free to play with them in your comment. That might even be more productive.):
Title One: overwhelming manufacturers under linear deliberators
Title Two: The linear association
Title Three: The family under overwhelming manufacturers
Title Four: overwhelming association
Title Five: The planning family
Title Six: ascending deliberators
Title Seven: planning manufacturers
Title Eight: linear ascending
Title Nine: ascending for deliberators
Title Ten: planning and ascending

To make matters worse, his girlfriend is a tiny hairless female specimen of what is supposed to be the same species.
