Artist of the Day: Sima Schloss

Posted on August 30, 2017August 30, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

“Perhaps we never know someone until we see them
in love, despair or in danger.” —Sima Schloss

•

At times I feel my life is laid bare before the world. Because I don’t have faith in the existence of privacy and an excessive desire to control my surroundings, I have beaten everyone to the punch. I have revealed almost everything to be known about me. Those few crumbs I have kept for myself are dark corners best left unexamined by most. But if Sima Schloss, today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, is right about love, despair & danger, I have nowhere to hide. I am oddly relieved. What are you not trying to hide?

I’m on week 3 of no dishwasher. It isn’t that bad. I was dreading it before the move, but I knew downsizing was important enough to get over the inconvenience. The only real difference I have noticed is the increased use of parchment paper, ha. I don’t mind washing dishes, but cleaning baking pans is to be avoided when at all possible. This next Call doesn’t require your work be on or in paper, but one artist will get a bonus prize of beautiful papers from the Awagami Factory. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Beyond the Blue

Posted on May 17, 2017May 16, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

pumping IRON

For a couple of years of my childhood, I was inexplicably anemic. I got used to weekly blood draws and iron shots. The careful planning of my diet to include iron-rich foods became an endless exercise in meat eating. It took a whole host of nutritionists to convince my father that spinach and seafood and peas and dried fruit were iron rich too. I still love raisins. A little extra vitamin C in my diet through citrus fruit allowed my body to absorb the iron, and voilà, my anemia disappeared, never to return. Those days may have begun my diehard belief in food as medicine. Iron was a key to my wellness just as iron plays a vital role in the cyanotypes wanted in this next Call. Take a look…

Beyond the Blue
from Don’t Take Pictures

___

“Sir John Herschel invented the cyanotype process in 1842 by treating paper with an iron-salt solution. As one of the earliest photographic processes, cyanotypes are known for their signature Prussian blue color. This process is now in revival & contemporary photographers are embracing the blue hues, as well as experimenting with toning techniques for a moody, otherworldly aesthetic . . . [DTP] seeks contemporary cyanotypes that go beyond the blue.” –from donttakepictures.com

CALL for ENTRIES: Color

Posted on May 3, 2017May 2, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

TASTE perfection

These days most produce is waxy, cartoon-saturated perfection. Take baby-shaped carrots. We can’t handle carrots with their roots and imperfect skin, so now we whittle them down to miniature perfection. The other day I picked up a head of iceberg lettuce and promptly put it back down because it was pale-colored. I’ve been influenced too. Colorful food is wonderful & healthy & flavorful, but perfection is unnecessary & wasteful. This next Call is colorful, but not wasteful. Take a look…

WATER bombs

I am anxiously awaiting the availability of watermelon. So many foods are so poorly named, like buckwheat (not wheat) or sweetbreads (not sweet, not bread). But watermelon is 90% water and somehow still tastes like a beautiful chunk of sunshine. This next Call is also a little slice of summer. Be sure to investigate the opportunity…

the MISSING middle

I enjoy creative process. I find it meditative. My own visual work requires lots of repetition. I like to knit. More repetition. I have a handful of favorite recipes. Even more repetition. As a result, I often end up in looping rut of repetition. In the kitchen, I break the sameness by trying a recipe outside my comfort zone. (Today gumbo, tomorrow doughnuts;) When working visually, I find a themed Call that dictates the inspiration not only helps me start a new piece, but it sometimes marks the beginning of a whole new direction. This Call is a paying opportunity too, which I appreciate albeit meager. Maybe it is right for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from 2 Elizabeths magazine for Cover Art. Only $5 to enter. Even if you don’t win the cover spot, it is a great way to jump start your creativity this winter. Take a look…

I struggle with breakfast. Starting my morning with the proper fuel sets the tone for my day, but I struggle nonetheless. My art year is not that different from my work day –both go better with a little preparation. This concept of preparation is why I have been pushing art publication for the past couple of weeks. This is the time of year to drive traffic to your website in preparation for the full swing of the exhibit season. I understand that some of you like online opportunities and some of you prefer print. This next Call offers both options, plus international distribution. Get prepared…
