FABULOUS
FUNCTION

I am all about Functional Art. I try to shove art into every corner of my life from my choices in clothing to furniture to food. I wonder…if food that is presented beautifully tastes better, does that mean that a beautifully-encased iPhone will function better? Hmmm…

Check out this Call for Entries into the Mobile Canvas Art Contest by SolSketch. Win up to $700 plus royalties by submitting your ideas for an iPhone Case or Laptop Skin. There is no entry fee for this contest, and SolSketch gives you the template, to boot. What do you have to lose?

DOWN SOUTH: Four Calls for Entries

Posted on July 28, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

LOTS OF CALLS!

Many mallowmars ago, I swore off lists on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. You guys didn’t like reading them, and I didn’t like writing them. We’re both happier now. However…

I received a group of Calls for Entries (none of them regional) all from the same organization, the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville (TN). I have entered two of the four shows before and was juried into both. I like couldn’t pass on the opportunity for you, but I also didn’t want to get the email suggesting I’m playing favorites by covering the same gallery 4 times in a couple of weeks. My solution? Here are four of the Calls for Art Entries in abbreviated fashion:

RETRO ART CONTEST: Spirograph

Posted on July 12, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I love the sort of fun whimsy of the design of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. And as a parent, I love the variety of opportunities that were provided in that era to sneak the principles of design, color and competition into your children’s lives through play. Just add a Twinkie, and this next call for art entries from Sound Feelings Publishing would be a perfect combination or whimsy and design!

Can you Design Something better than this?

Sound Feelings Publishing is inviting submissions of beautiful designs to be Included in a Brand New Multi-Color Instruction Booklet for the Famous Spirograph Toy from the 1960s.

Using your 1967-1970 Kenner Spirograph toy (not Spirograph Plus or any other variant) and using a new Spirograph Multicolor Pen from Sound Feelings Publishing, create one or more BRAND NEW DESIGNS and submit them to Sound Feelings for their consideration to be included in their new, upcoming “Spirograph Multicolor Instruction Booklet.”

The winners will receive the prize money and will also have their names listed by their design (unless you prefer not to).

How Would These Designs be Different?

The original Spirograph incorporated pens that had four colors, black, blue, red and green.

Sound Feelings is seeking submissions of new designs that use the new Spirograph Multicolor Pen.

These new pens contain the original four colors: black, blue, red and green.

But the new pen ALSO includes fun and creative rainbow colors: yellow, light blue, pink, purple, brown, and orange — ten colors in one pen!

The Spirograph Multicolor Pen contains 10 ballpoint cartridges within one large barrel.

The ballpoint pen tips of the cartridges are the EXACT size of the original pen tips that came with your 1960s Spirograph. (Modern ballpoint pens have larger size tips that will not fit through the holes of the Spirograph gears.)

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 5, 2010

RULES:

1. Use a Spirograph multicolor pen (pictured right at $5.99) to a create brand new design on your Spirograph

2. Artwork created with gel tip, rollerball or felt tip pens will NOT be accepted.

3. Use high-quality paper so that the pen does not make any holes or rough spots. The paper color will usually be white, but if your design requires paper of a different color, then that will be completely acceptable.

4. Use one or more of the colors in the multicolor pen. (You may use as many colors as you want in your design, but generally, combining a few well-matched colors well will look better than using all ten colors!) Also, you may just want to use the original black, blue, red or green colors in your design and that would be completely fine.

5. Scan your completed design at 300 dpi or higher and save in .jpg format, at the highest quality. If you don’t have a scanner, you can mail the original to us and we will scan it and return your original to you.

6. Create instructions that follow the same format as the original instruction booklet so others may re-create your design. This includes displaying the ring number, the wheel number, the hole and the color of pen, and the reference starting point. Please see the sample of the original instruction booklet to guide you.

7. You agree that if you become one of their winners, you relinquish complete ownership and copyright of your design to Sound Feelings Publishing.

8. You may submit more than once.

9. Prizes will be based on existing submissions. If there are not enough contest art entries AND if the standards of the entries are not high enough then some of the prizes will not be awarded.

10. They will ONLY publish the winning entries. They will not publish your design unless they pay you for it!

11. Winners will be chosen within 60 days of the submission deadline and will be paid immediately thereafter.

12. Cost to enter: FREE!

Submit Your Entry to: spirographcontest@soundfeelings.com

Please include:

Your artwork (scanned as described above)
Your instructions (as described above)
Your name
Your email address
Phone number
Mailing address
Would you like your name published if you win?
PayPal email (optional–see below)

If you become one of the winners, they can send payment by PayPal. If you prefer that, then make sure they have your PayPal email and let them know that you prefer that method of payment. Otherwise, they will send your payment by check to your mailing address.

Hurry! The Deadline is October 5th! Order a pen and start designing today!

FEATURED ARTIST: Catherine Roach

Posted on December 6, 2009February 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

I have a treat for you today…

the work of Catherine Roach.

I love art. My home and office are filled to the brim with the work of artists that I love. And, while I have a significant appreciation for the talent it takes to produce realism, I prefer not to own it.

I want the artwork I own to inspire me to dream of what can be, not what already is. Admittedly, that is my personal choice.

I am a fan of modern Romanticism in art and artists. I own work that leads with the heart and confronts it in a cerebral way. I like the idea of the gifted hero following inspired creativity and knowledge to produce genuinely special work that defies norms and expectations.

The work of Catherine Roach took me by surprise.

I researched every piece of her work that I could find electronically. By the time I had viewed it all, I felt like I had an intimate experience.

Roach’s work makes me sad a little, but I find myself smiling at the wit with which it is packaged. I am aesthetically drawn to Roach’s frenzied sense of composition and use of color and then smacked by its raw, personal commentary.

When I asked about her process, it all became a little clearer. Roach says, “I begin a piece by reading over the scribbled down sea of words from that day, and placing images for these statements in my head at first, jotting down ideas as I go. I work rapidly without restraint, not holding anything back, to some extent of a free write. I use a large variety of media when creating, from pens to watercolor, and acrylic to digital. Knowing I don’t ever have a limit, creating for myself and no one else is what drives me to a finish.”

I often ask artists what their favorite food is because I’m a foodie…and I am nosey that way. This is a food-themed art blog–loosely speaking, but I rarely publish artists’ answers.

This time, I have to expose Catherine for what she is…a goldfish eater. The comfort of cheese all wrapped up in a glowing, albeit tiny, smiling package. Very telling, Ms. Roach, very telling.

Catherine Roach is currently attending The New England Art Institute in Boston for Graphic Design, and approaching her final semester in January. And I must admit that I am concerned that she will always keep her work to herself like her own private little treasure. I am bothered because I want to own the work of Catherine Roach. And, I believe that is the highest compliment any viewer can give any artist.

I am a fan of taking medicine with a spoonful of sugar. Catherine, thank you for the sweet surprise. Thank you for letting me publish just a little glimpse.

I am inspired.
