And what about you? Do your "children" have a name?

I always relate your work to your titles and yes, I give mine names in much the same way. They speak to me and give me clue.
'You lookin' at me?' Wonderful Random Grid, Eric.
And to answer your question: Yes, I always title my work. Much the way that you do. Always have, always will. If you think about it (almost) all work has a titled. I know that what we do is visual and really does not need to rely on a verbal title, BUT I'm never amused by 'Untitled #7,351'. It always seems 'cold', like something done for cataloging purposes only. I'm always intrigued when an artist choses some kind of title that 'opens' the work just a bit more.
I have enjoyed your titles very much Eric. Sometimes I can see exactly how they apply to a particular piece. I tend to give my children titles, or names. Its part of the relationship!
Love seeing the collection of these pieces together! Yes, the naming is very important....usually the piece tells me exactly what it's name is during the process of making it....and when I've finished and don't know it's name, I'm quite confounded!
interesting topic.. titles of the art piece.. I usually have my bigger concept and theme.. and come up the the individual titles after the work is completed.. I have always enjoyed seeing the titles of your work.
I usually give my paintings names.
These titles fly to me.
And I think it's good to have a title.
Thanks for all the comments.
Glad you liked it.
Sharon, just for fun I googled "Untitled #7,351". Well, it really exist!
Eric, just seeing your comment now. Thanks for the laugh...It was a random choice for an 'untitled' title on my part, but I am seriously not surprised!
