Hyperbole! From Acme! to Zenith!

This is a personal project that had been percolating for several years, because I had come up with the title and had been keeping a list of the most hyperbolic words I could find for each letter, but hadn't figured out what exactly to do with them. I ended up painting whet I flet was the best and most hyperbolic word or phrase for each letter in the alphabet. All of the pieces are acrylic paint on canvas with dimensions of 8" x10" each.
There were lots of good (i.e. better than "minty," which is what this says, in case you can't read it) M words, but I wanted to draw a word made out of toothpaste, so there.
Of course, some letters had almost too many good options, while for certain other letters, I never thought of anything good in years of (intermittent and not especially active) searching. Y was the biggest struggle of all. You will probably think of something better than this immediately, because that's just how things work sometimes.
