FRESH on the street

My heart beats for the east coast, but my stomach is devoted to the other coast. I love that fruit vendors are to Los Angeles what the pretzel cart is to NYC. I can’t defect over fruit, but I can ask… the next time you are handing a few bills to a street vendor, look up. If you don’t see your art on the billboard above, then this next Call may be for you. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Billboard Creative for the 2016 Los Angeles Exhibition. Only $27 to enter & no hidden fees if selected. A exciting opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Banner Project

Posted on August 8, 2016August 8, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

Farmers markets are changing. They used to be the place to find great fresh produce and unique varietals of mushrooms and herbs. I love the smell of fresh dirt on fresh food in the summer heat of my car with the windows rolled down. But things change. Evolution is as necessary as preservation is. It doesn’t mean that dirt on the veggies has no place, it simply means squeaky-clean hydroponic lettuce, artisinal soft drinks & ready-made gazpacho should be just as welcome. Views on preserving the natural within the evolving landscape are sought in this Call. Spend the time to research this theme…

GOURMET

I had another Jetsons dream. This one involved me in my futuristic kitchen that was equipped with completely mobile gadgetry. I could sit or stand in one place and everything would come to me as I needed it just by thinking it. Is it telling that I even dream about my own laziness? Maybe instead of my laziness, it was just a premonition of a design for this next Call. So cool…

QUICHE
or sardines?

One of my strongest childhood food memories is eating sardines out of the can on the back steps of my grandmother’s house because she couldn’t stand the smell in the kitchen. Random, but unforgettable. I wonder what my child’s will be? Lining up green beans like soldiers? Making a mashed potato volcano? Who knows? Memory is a funny thing. This Call wants to know about your childhood memories. A great excuse to reminisce…

BACON
anyone?

I grew up in a house with a bacon grease pot. For those of you unfamiliar, that is a recycled metal coffee can that you dump your excess bacon grease in every morning for use in your dinner, nearly every night. The saturated fat from smoked cured pig permeated nearly every meal of my childhood. But in hindsight, I suppose my grandmother was ahead of the kitchen recycling/upcycling trend, eh? This next call is all about renewal and reuse. Take a look…

I used to be addicted to “snack size,” pre-portioned foods. I thought they were the perfect solution to my portioning problem. However, I learned that the innocent little packages led me to eating multiples. Plus, the extra packaging and cost don’t sit well either. So, I’m back to counting cheese puffs and Fritos® again. Let’s hope the small size of the artwork for the next Call creates a feed frenzy too. Check it out…
