And the title is.....!

It's a difficult decision, but it's time I decided on a name for this piece. Since I couldn't come up with my own, I had a teeny little contest to coerce others into doing the work for me! Thank you all!
Here were the submissions:

Lucy in the Sky (everyone loves a good Beatles/drugs reference)
The Melissa (not sure if this was a 'real' entry??? lol)
Sterling Beauty (I totally get this, it does look kinda shiny)
The Traveler (I like the sense of movement this portrays)
Fantasia (very apt)
Orphic (meaning 'mythic'. I love learning new words!)

So........after implementing my complex system of illustration title selection (it involved spreadsheets and graphs) I have decided on....

The Traveler!!!!!!!

Congratulations to the winner, Barb!

Thank you!

-Melissa

PS: I have no prize for you, Barb, just so you know.

PPS: I don't really have a complex system of illustration title selection involving spreadsheets and graphs

Come up with a title!

Obviously I love to create visual art. But when it comes to giving that work a title, I am often stumped. So instead, I'm hoping someone else can name this new illustration piece! Please email me or comment on the blog post if you want to submit a title. Anything goes! The winner will get....(drumroll).....bragging rights and....praise by me!
