FREE, but ODD

The strangest thing I’ve ever eaten is Fugu, also known as Japanese pufferfish.  What was strange was that I ate it in the USVI at the hands of a Japanese Chef who sold me on eating it BECAUSE #1 it was FREE and #2 it could kill me if prepared improperly.  No meal is worth dying for, folks; ahhh, the stupidity of being eighteen.  Well, clearly, I didn’t die, and unfortunately, I don’t really remember the taste due to my adrenaline-fueled expectation that I could, at any moment, drop dead.  In hindsight, I don’t REALLY know what I ate. Hmmm.  This next call for art may be the strangest of its sort I’ve ever seen as well–at least for an Art Exhibit.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Art, a unique opportunity to build advertising imagery for A SAINT for Saint Spotting, and international contest sponsored by the Institute of the Daughters of MercyFree, but odd…

Saint Spotting

Creative people, such as filmmakers, photographers, cartoonists, graphic and fashion designers, songwriters, musicians, etc… are asked to promote a product which is most definitely unusual.  The challenge for creative artists worldwide is to create advertising for a SAINT, as if it is a product just like any other product in need of an ad campaign.
