"Untitled 2"
Here is a personal piece that I created inspired by Music, Film and Contemporary Mythology. After working digital for a week this is how I blow off steam, - paint thinner and oil based inks.

Keep blowing off steam, man!

I know it's "Untitled 2" at the moment, but how about changing that to "Wow"?

Thanks folks, it is very nice of you to comment. I am having trouble with titles on these. My Woman and Man series is just numbered so that is easy. A title on these narrative pieces can drive the content in an instant. Look at these titles and how they manipulate the meaning of the piece. A)Bulletproof B)The Invisible Woman C)Mrs Darth Vader D)Wilder than Her E)Burnfire (comment code) F)None of the above Any ideas?
Zina January 20, 2010
I already gave you my title for it. Didn't even make the cut. *sniff*
Richard Downs January 20, 2010
OK, Zina, fair enough!. I am sorry, lets start over. A)Wow B)Bulletproof C)The Invisible Woman D)Mrs Darth Vader E)Wilder than Her F)Burnfire (comment code) G)Wordnice (comment code) H)None of the above Any ideas?

Sooo JPG. I LOVE it. this is totally a kind of work I would love to put up on the wall of my apartment.... :-)

Are you interested in trading? May be?? Of course, no pressure...
Richard Downs January 20, 2010
Yuko, Deal! You want the original or a fine print?. That image area is 12" x 15". Hot off the press yesterday, could be a bit wet but ready to ship in a day. Email me my trade choices or a piece in mind. :)

"Bulletproof". There's your title. Love this piece. It's good to keep your hands near inks and paper in between the digital stuff.
Yuko January 20, 2010
Yuko wants the original! Don't sell it to anyone. We can trade, and we can discuss the details :-) My apt won't be ready for a few weeks, and I rather get it after my moving mess is done. Yaaaayyyyyy!

Title suggestions: Battle Leather Red Room Voom Sultry Sado
Richard Downs January 20, 2010
Yuko, deal!. you own it now, I'll send the sketches along with it. Get moved in and we'll talk later!. (drawhome)
Richard Downs January 20, 2010
Kyle, nice, now you're talkin'

I love "bulletproof" Sooo gorgeous!
Yuko Shimizu January 20, 2010
I vote for Bulletproof too.
Richard Downs January 20, 2010
"Bulletproof" it is!. When the owner of the art votes on the title, it's a done deal! ("Bulletproof" was my first choice also). Thanks everybody for the focus group. And, thank you, Dena for dropping by and the nice comment.

Beautiful, Richard!! Love the textures.
Tim Teebken January 21, 2010
Very cool, Richard. How about.... Darth Mater?
Leo Espinosa January 21, 2010
I love this two color series, Richard.
Richard Downs January 21, 2010
Hey, thank you friends. Just got back to the studio after spending some time with a serigraph printer, see if I can translate this stuff to some 2 color silkscreen, I'm giving it a shot, see what happens.
