An Old Byloos Drawing Series: Chris Ware’s Jimmy Corrigan

Byloos Drawing Series: Chris Ware's Jimmy Corrigan 1

I’ve gone through any number of small, closed drawings series since (and during) grad school, back in 1999-2001. Recently, I found these images from a series that I worked on back in 2003 and 04, if I remember correctly. The idea was to take these very loose, minimally gestural backgrounds, and work up drawings of the (mostly domestic) interiors from the pages of Jimmy Corrigan cartoons, as drawn by Chris Ware.

Help Me Title the Next Drawing Project

Filed under: Drawing — Tags: , , , — Matty @ 10:53 am

Help With a Title

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. I will begin to post the images as they are made, along with the found photographs and stories which were generative models for the drawings, as soon as I title the project (and category).

Can you help?

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

Thanks for your help!
