brain FOOD

There are lots of foods I eat that give others pause.  There are lots of foods that I have tried once but will never consume again.  Then there are foods that make no sense to me, at all.  When I was in college, my favorite 24 hour diner was legendary.  It had been open since the 1930s, and because it was located just steps from the state capitol, the stories that built its reputation were also legendary.  The menu was populated with standard fare like over-easy eggs and BLTs, but among the meat options included were souse, head cheese & calf brains.  Really?  Did any of those things come in such high demand that they warranted permanent menu status? *shudder*  I’ll keep my brain associations within my own head, thank-you-very-much.  Speaking of heads, take a look…

SWEET squared

When is the last time you saw a sugar cube in a restaurant?  Me neither.  Maybe I’m going to the wrong restaurants, ha.  Did you know that before the Victorian-era sense of order gave us manageable single-serving size cubes of sugar, there was a person whose job it was to nip sugar into less large chunks than the cone-shaped loaf you brought home from your grocer.  This next Call is all about the cube or the square or smaller.  Take a look…

pushups POPS

I remember chasing the ice cream truck and cycling away, post chase, peeling the paper away from my treasure with both hands and trying not to crash into a parked car or a jay-walking pedestrian.  In my current neighborhood, the roads are only two lanes, the tourist traffic is crazy, and there aren’t any kids on bicycles –or ice cream trucks.  I wonder if I can still ride.  Hmmm.  This next call is all about the bicycle or cycling.  I love the memories this theme conjures…

deep ROOTS

The benefits of a vegetarian diet are undeniable, but only by most reports, only 3-6% of Americans follow a plant-based diet.  But why?  Volumes have been written expounding on the “why”, but I am just grateful for the ability to make choices –good or bad.  This next Call offers you choices and could be of benefit to you and the venue.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts (Omaha, NE) for Benefit Art Auction 2018.  Do not be scared off by the words “benefit” and/or “auction”.  I am acutely aware of how often artists are asked to work for nothing.  In this case, you DO NOT have to donate all the proceeds of your work.

all JUICED up

I have to learn to stop reading the comments sections on social media posts.  Even when I think I found a safe, foodie-friendly post, I end up amazed by the viciousness of the battles over juice as the fiber-less evil cousin of fruit or the severing of parental rights over cereal as breakfast food.  Do our food choices speak to the human condition, or is it how we judge others that speaks to our place in the world?  I am always happy to hear your thoughts.  This next Call would also like to know what you have to say about the human condition.  Investigate…

These myriad strongholds of energies, which hopefully inspire your works, should speak to us as they represent your brightest or darkest experiments and enlightening realizations in your life and should be represented as such here in your fine artwork for us to absorb and potentially integrate into our own lives.  So, your submitted creations should express the subject as felt through the artist’s empathy or subjective eye of experience.  The message is meant for us, the viewer.”

DINNER for one entire night

I’m a restaurant camper, and I apologize.  I want the pace of dinner to drag on all night and this isn’t always the same pace at which the restaurant can afford to turn over table.  Luckily, I am also a big tipper and luckily that sometimes buys lots of forgiveness from the serving staff.  This next Call is all about rhythm –fast or slow.  Take a look…

sugar or cake CONES?

I am addicted to cones of vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate.  More accurately, I love the chocolate dipped diary, not the cone, but I have great respect for the edible nature of this delivery system.  Why don’t we have more edible packaging?  I don’t know either.  (BTW, no, I do NOT want to know about the probably-scary, chemical explanation for why dipping chocolate hardens.  Ignorance is bliss.)  This next Call is all about cones (and rods), but of the photoreceptor quality.  I’ve shown work at this venue, and I can’t wait to see this show…

GROCERY greenbacks

I have cut my own grocery budget in an effort to force myself to adapt to cooking for two instead of three.  A small budget forces me to look for smaller portions of things bought by the pound like produce, cheese & meat.  But once a month, I tack on a $50 to allow for a treat or two.  That $50 makes all the difference.  This next Call invites you to find out what an extra $5,000 art budget could do for you.  Investigate this opportunity because the deadline is just around the corner…

slow BURN

Four days out of seven find my family eating spicy foods.  Before I quit smoking five years ago, I suspected my tolerance for spicy food came from my deadened taste buds.  But after years as a non-smoker, we eat more hot food, not less.  However, I’m not usually a fan of overtly fiery foods; I prefer the slow burn that simmers just below the surface.  I frequently start dinner thinking “this needed more heat” and end the meal with a flush having creeped up my scalp.  This next Call wants to know what is layered just below the surface of your work.  Take a look…
