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…

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. And this $150 melon is far sweeter than the $4 doppleganger. This next Call might look like a typical publication Call, but look closer and you’ll find it is worth every penny. Looks are deceiving, so investigate…

horny as a
CUCUMBER

I’m on the lookout for a horned melon aka an African cucumber. I tried one many years ago and remember the flavors of lemon, banana and cucumber, but because they are exceedingly rare, I can’t find one locally. I suspect if I find one in the South, it will probably be imported and unripe. Those tend to just taste like banana. Keep your fingers crossed, or send me one if you run across it. In the meantime, the next Call is a very rare illustration call. Take a look…

WRAP UP
a cold one

My husband usually picks out his own beer. He’s a home brewer and more than a little picky about his commercially made beer. But, on occasion, I pick up a “Pick 6” pack from the grocery store. My rule of thumb is to pick 3 beers I’ve actually seen him consume, and the other 3 I pick out based on the design of the label. No joke. Works EVERY time. If you understand beer labels, then you might also know why it is no surprise when people judge a book by its cover. This next Call is just for you…

PERSONAL ZOO

One of my very favorite foods as a kid was animal crackers. I liked to line them up in pairs and then bite off their heads and legs before eating the bodies. A little gruesome, and I’m not certain what that says about me. But I do crack my goldfish crackers in half before I eat them even now. Do food interpreters (like dream interpreters) exist? Clearly I need one. My prescription? Buy a box of animal crackers for inspiration for this next call…
