Check out this Call for Entries from Create! Magazine for the Inaugural Issue. This publication is brought to you by the creators of Fresh Paint Magazine (one of our favorites) so it is sure to be gorgeous. Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Regardt van der Meulen

Posted on July 10, 2016July 10, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

"Untitled" (20 mm mild steel round bar) by Regardt van der Meulen — *“Untitled”* *(20 mm mild steel round bar)* by *Regardt van der Meulen*

“People habitually live with a misled sense of security, the illusion that our environment or civilisation is dependable and static. Often times the dangers and violence of the current world we live in interrupts and the illusion of safety is exposed.”
—Regardt van der Meulen

___

A friend recently messaged me to say, “I don’t know how I’m going to make it through today. How do you do it?” I replied, “I just put on foot in front of the other until I get to the end.” In hindsight, even that simple plan is fraught with assumption. ANY way you get through is better than NOT getting through. Don’t worry about the bonus points for style. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Regardt van der Meulen sculpts with full awareness of the ephemeral nature of how we exist. Fragile, but stubborn.

CALL for ENTRIES: Collaboration

Posted on May 16, 2016May 16, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

take two & call me after BREAKFAST

Food as medicine has been on my radar for a decade. I appreciate the ability to attempt home remedies through food and supplements. I am not suggesting it is easier, nor am I suggestion it is a solution for all ailments. But, I am intrigued. A family history of arthritis, combined with years of a slight addiction to towering high heels, has resulted in massive joint pain in one of feet. Flair ups are completely manageable with a combination of tart cherries & massive quantities of vitamin C. Drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy is now often treated by mainstream medicine with a ketogenic diet. The collaboration between doctors and nutritionists is inspiring. This Call offers you the opportunity to collaborate with writers. Take a look…

Fresh foods are the glory of Summer. But I still can’t resist those canned pickled beets my mother makes. She makes a batch for me every year that are very tart and much less sweet.

CALL for ENTRIES: Illustration Awards

Posted on March 9, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

need a
CLEAN PLATE?

I am not a fan of buffet restaurants. Even when I get past the being herded like school children through a cafeteria line, I have trouble with all inclusive nature. How can one hold everything at a single temp & humidity and expect everything to thrive? Some foods are fragile. Celery & carrots require higher humidity. Dairy needs a lower temp than washed greens. In exchange for larger variety, we end up with mediocre versions of fresh food that would have better maintained their individuality in a kitchen. This next call is a hand-picked selection of the highest quality, not a buffet. Interested? Me too.

Check out this Call for Entries from 3×3 Magazine for the Int’l Illustration Show. Quality art publication that is both curated but open to illustration is a rare combination. These fees are among the lowest in the industry. Take a look…

SAUCY

I like to think I eat fairly clean. But by coincidence, I ran out of all of my standard sauces at one time which necessitated my seeing them ALL in my shopping cart at once. Who new? Soy, fish, oyster, Worcestershire, Thai chili, plum, four vinegars, 3 mustards, and lets not forget sriracha. In my defense, there ARE a few of scratch-made ones like barbecue & chocolate sauce. It seems my portfolio of foods aren’t all as pure as I’d like to believe. This next Call want your purely individual portfolio. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Document

guilty PICS

Many of you ask if I take the food photos used in AAAD posts. Occasionally. I took this one (left). But more often, the imagery is stock. I really don’t document what I eat often enough to provide a library of images from which to choose. I have tried to break myself of the habit of being “that” diner –the one whose food gets cold while they get the perfect angle– out of guilt that my family was suffering the consequences (cold, soggy food). This next Call wants YOUR documentary images, food optional of course. Investigate…

FRUIT
fluff

Fresh fruit is still my favorite dessert. I will take a bowl of berries over chocolate 9 times out of 10. The only thing I miss is the fat content, the luscious mouth feel. But, my husband has solved that problem with scratch-made whipped cream, heavy on the vanilla, light on the sugar. There’s no going back. This next call could be the whipped cream on top of your fresh new art season. Take a look…
