CALL for ENTRIES: Fresh Paint Mag

Posted on April 19, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

MORE please

I seek out Greek food. I don’t have access to Greek food at home, except my husband’s exceptional version of Moussaka, so I’m always on the hunt. I have noticed a rather odd phenomenon–Greek food crossed with diner culture. I keep seeing menu after menu with both platters of fries AND bowls of Avgolemono. Sometimes it is great to expect to get one thing but find yourself with options when you take a closer look. I suppose this next Call is exactly like that. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Fresh Paint Magazine (online) for Juried July 2015. This mag is delicious to see & hold. We are proud to have them as sponsors & this call is open to more than PAINTING…

CALL for ENTRIES: Todd Opportunities

Posted on April 17, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

lots of
STEAM

My son is learning to cook. More accurately, my husband & I are forcing our son to cook dinner once per week. He has shown no really interest in producing meals–only eating them. So, we are not giving him an option. My concern is that if he doesn’t learn how, he’ll be forced to eat commercially-processed crap his entire life. He doesn’t like cooking. Doing anything solo the first time is scary, but my kiddo has turned it into a pressure-cooked affair. Let’s hope it gets easier. This next Call is YOUR chance to do art solo. Don’t stress, just submit a proposal…

CALL for ENTRIES: Turquoise

Posted on March 17, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

don’t be
BLUE

There aren’t really any naturally-occurring blue foods–of which I am aware. But maybe that is why I’m not a fan of color blue, with the exceptions of navy (almost purple) & turquoise (high green only). Blue foods scream, “Plastic” every time I see them–from icing on cakes to the blue tongues of toddlers eating shaved ice. I know; my food quirks never end. This next Call is just the perfect shade away from blue. Take a look…

melon or
MELON?

Things are not always as they appear. Take the Yubari melon, while it looks like a $4 canteloupe, it has a unique flavor you won’t ever forget.

Looks are deceiving, so investigate…

chaste crackers
SINFUL CHOCOLATE

Food legends abound. Every time I think I have heard them all, another creeps us. Did you know s’mores are meant to curb sexual desire? Well, kind of. Sylvester Graham, the inventor of the graham cracker, was a minister that created an entire lifestyle including the consumption of this self-proclaimed “bland” graham crackers as a way to control wild sexual urges. We’re thinking he wouldn’t approve of the debauchery that is marshmallow and chocolate though. This next Call wants your best work surrounding a legend. Fun theme with an IMMINENT DEADLINE…

Folktales & Legends

Folktales and legends blur fact and fiction; seeded in the truth, they grow into stories both fantastical and far-fetched.

BANANAS

I watched soap operas before I could talk. More accurately, my mother used to put me in my high chair and turn on The Doctors while she enjoyed her lunch. One day it came to an abrupt stop. Apparently engrossed in an overly-dramatic subplot, my mother neglected to notice I had fallen asleep and face-planted in my peanut-butter-topped-bananas. Since then, anytime my mother even see a commercial for a soap opera, the portrait of me covered in pb&b conjures guilt. This next Call wants your portraits; the food is optional. Love this…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Semblance. $24 entry, a great juror & a history of showing spectacular photographers. We’re proud of how many of our readers have been both shown & awarded in the past few years at Darkroom.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Semblance

FOR LOVING YOU

Something borrowed, something new; something green, something like glue. If I am married to food, the heroes & villians in our relationship are well-defined. Despite my best efforts, potatoes continue to fight against me in the form of chips, fries & luscious, comforting soup. They aren’t inherently evil, but they do have a tendency to lean toward the dark side of gluttony for me. The heroes, conversely, tend to be green & roasted–fresh Brussels sprouts, snap beans & crowns of broccoli. As I continue to fight the good fight, here’s a great Call that will allow you to fight your own battles. LOVE this venue…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Heroes & Villians. $25 entry, epic jurors & great art, time & time again. Take a look…

HERO

What would we do without the iconic dishes that make up the safety net? You know the ones…everyone likes some version of it. They tend to be my “go to” meals on nights when I have to plan in advance. Since I don’t know what anyone will be in the mood for, I hit the highlights. Tonight is spaghetti night. No matter who is coming, I can cover vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free if need be.

I know you often leave the conversation not feeling like nothing is accessible. I like THIS opportunity. If you work in 2-D, don’t dismiss this Call. Some of you might consider simply doing what you already do but direct some content to suit this purpose. It won’t be for everyone, but I think it is a valid option for a lot of you.
