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.  This Call is all about iconic art categories.  Please investigate this one.  If you work in 2-D, there is probably a way to make this work for you

Check out this Call for Entries from Art of Brands (a new AAAD sponsor) for Iconic Images.  There is no entry fee, and this could be a great way to earn money from your art.  Take a look…

*Editor’s Note:  So many of you have talked to me about selling your work w/o being bogged down running a gallery or about art fairs or gallery representation.  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.

VISITING ARTIST WANTED: Black Hawk College

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!PUSHING MY BUTTONS

My child cannot cook.  In his defense, he is a brilliant, nerdy eleven year old that loves to read and dance and play games.  He makes great grades… but some things escape him. 

He will be so embarassed when he finds out I posted this one day, but… I left him with the responsibility to microwave a frozen meal for his lunch while I was busy blogging one day.  Moments later he came to me and said, “I pushed the button, and it didn’t open.” 

Yep, you know the little perforated semi-circle on the back of the box that you’re supposed to push in to create a thumb hole that allows you to rip the box open?  MmmHmm, in his literal little mind, there was apparently supposed to be an auto open once he pushed the button.  We laugh now, but talk to me in ten years.  It won’t be funny if he’s still living with me then.  He just needs guidance about nuance, right?  He just needs to understand not everything is literal?  This Call may allow you to pass along a little instruction to someone that needs the guidance.
