ARTIST of the DAY: Amy Friend

perspective, yes

Get to know artist Amy Friend, our current Artist of the Day. I struggled to choose what to post because she is, simply, in my head. This work is both lush & toothsome. (continues below)

My Tangled Perspective by Amy Friend, AAAD Artist of the Day — *My Tangled Perspective by Amy Friend*

“A pleasure in the discomfort & need for the tension.”
— Amy Friend (from amydraws.com)

“My current body of work focuses on a desire for balance and the dichotomy of my life; my desire for adventure and freedom versus a need for security and roots. Illustrating these themes is the current obsession of mine. Using metaphors and abstracts, my work maintains realism in its depiction. The compositions create a graceful struggle and an uncertain balance.”

CALL for ENTRIES: Animals 2

Posted on November 14, 2015November 12, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

eat my
FUNGI

I’m afraid of eating wild mushrooms. Correction, I am afraid of improperly identifying a mushroom as edible and doing unexpected harm to my family. So, I have been trying to decide whether or not to grow them myself. Growing mushrooms at home always conjures images of damp, basement-like conditions. But research indicates I can crow them on logs in dappled shade, above ground, among the living, with fewer creepy-crawlies. This next Call want to know your views, wild OR domestic, but no veggies–just animals. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Memories

Posted on October 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

the
SPAGHETTI
incident

I spent my childhood as the family cook & server. I was raised by a single father that couldn’t cook. I think he realized early on that ANY talent I had in the kitchen would surpass his own. Even before I could cook with aid of a step stool, I was already setting the table and serving dinner. I remember serving a plate of spaghetti and tomato sauce to my father, already seated, who quickly discovered you shouldn’t trust a 4 year old to secure a drop leaf table. Ha. he called it the “spaghetti incident” until the day he died. This next Call wants to see how your imagination frames your early memories –food optional. Handle this theme thoughtfully…

Check out this Call for Entries from L.A. Photo Curator for the Memories exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping & a portion of the entry fees goes to a great charity. Take a look…

don’t FEED
the rats

Rats, when tested, will develop cancer. Have you heard that satirical proverb? I believe it is/was meant to be a comment on the number of carcinogens identified by animal testing. Well, I have another one for you. Food, when processed, will become unhealthy. Okay, maybe that one isn’t so satirical. Check out this list of 7 Foods People Think are Healthy, but Aren’t. But, I suspect most of you are far too food savvy to have thought they were healthy, so check out the list of seven media that are eligible for this next Call. It’s worth a look…

in a PICKLE

I’ve been studying food preservation, from pickling & water-bath canning to vacuum-sealing & salt-packing. I’ve run across a huge amount of admirable testing, experimentation and success amongst food-enthusiasts, homemakers, homesteaders, preppers & gardners alike. I am open to almost anything culinary at least once, but some folks are out there just purposely trying to make food, well, wrong. Koolickles. I am almost beyond words this time. Koolickles are created by soaking dill pickles in a mixture of Kool-Aid® & pickle brine. Being open doesn’t always work in my favor, but this next Call definitely does. They are open to almost anything, and it doesn’t have to be Koolickles, I promise…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstract II

Posted on August 4, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

DOUBLE
garden duty

We all eat massive amounts of corn. Since my husband’s Celiac diagnosis, we are a gluten-free household, and it took a lot of work. But, now it is second nature and, really, no big deal. But corn? If I had to try to cut corn out of our diets, we would starve; it is in EVERYTHING. In 2012, the USDA claimed 88% of U.S. corn is GMO. I’m not okay with that, so we are planning an attempt to grow our own soon. Meanwhile, did you know that corn does excellent double duty as a trellis for growing peas? Plus, the peas supply much-need nitrogen to the soil for the corn. Don’t you just love nature? It is in the nature of this next Call to offer DOUBLE the prizes. Make us proud…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net (online) for Abstract II. The cash prizes are DOUBLED for this one! Take a look…
