CALL for ENTRIES: Photo Shoot 2016

Posted on September 29, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

PRODUCE unboxed, unbagged

Grocery cashiers aren’t my biggest fans. They seem to take issue with my lack of packaging. Why do my two lemons need to be in a plastic bag? Onions come in their own wrapping. Why would I protect them from getting dirty when I am just going to peel them? Is it really that hard to corral my summer squash and carrots outside of a bag or box? This next Call is a great reason to think inside the “box”. Just leave your produce unfettered. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Black Box Gallery (Portland, OR) for Photo Shoot 2016. $35 entry fee includes *free printing, mat & frame. No shipping is always a bonus!

CALL for ENTRIES: Wearable Expressions

Posted on September 26, 2016September 26, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

wear EAT me

You don’t have to wear a coconut brassiere to make food wearable. Coconut fiber, banana silk & pineapple leather are being used to create the latest and most fashionable textiles. So, if Gaga’s meat dress isn’t your groove, try banana silk. The next Call wants the wearable version of your art–from clothing to jewelry, but it doesn’t have to be edible. (Brownie points from me if it is, though.) So, make it work…

CALL for ENTRIES: We Love People

Posted on June 14, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

so so many EGGS

We eat dozens & dozens of eggs each month. It would be easy to assume that when we’re out, we’d avoid them. That’s not really the case. I have them fried, over-medium, after late night outings, take them cold & hard-boiled to picnics or on early mornings. And on my recent stop at Sugar Mama’s, a little bakery/bar combo, in Knoxville, I was treated to “German Eggs”. Think of it as a fluffy egg bake or like a crustless quiche. Delicious. (Funny enough, German tourists suggested we Google “german eggs slang”. Funny.) This Call hails from Munich, but doesn’t require the inclusion of eggs. Great international show opportunity…

ARTIST of the DAY: Alicia Tormey

Posted on February 10, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

testing BOUNDARIES

In addition to being the Editor of AAAD, I spend a considerable amount of time consulting with artists individually on branding their work, unifying their message & the philosophical packaging of their work for consumption. Technology is vehicle that allows delivery of work that is complete in contrast with that very technology. I appreciate the push to expand my knowledge, to remain relevant, to drag a few artists wit me. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Alicia Tormey finds her own motivation in testing boundaries. (continues below)

"Galaxy" (left) and "Swoon" (right) by Alicia Tormey, encaustic mixed media — *“Galaxy” (left) & “Swoon” (right) by Alicia Tormey, encaustic mixed media*

“An insatiable curiosity drives me to constantly experiment while testing the boundaries of this medium. The mystery of not knowing what’s going to happen next has the power to hold my attention for long stretches of time. The unpredictable nature of encaustic and the open flame of a torch captivates me and pulls me along for a never ending ride.” —Alicia Tormey

FLAVOR

I’ve run out of pickled beets, and I’m nearly out of canned tomatoes. I’m not sure if my mother canned less or if we just consumed more. Either way, the more colorful portion of my menu is highly dependent on spinach and carrots these days. I love spinach and carrots, but there are only so many ways to eat them in a week. Fingers crossed that Punxsutawney Phil got it right because I would welcome some early Spring color. In the meantime, this Call is providing a colorful outlet. Love this theme…

HAD A COW

Have you heard about the cannulated cows? Wow. Who knew there were cows with port holes? I was watching the Wisconsin edition of Weird Foods America. And a professor at UW-Madison Department of Dairy Science was explaining how they put port holes in the side of cows to study the “ruminant’s digestive process” or the chewing of the cud aka “ruminating.” Into my miscellaneous food trivia file THAT tidbit went; THEN, I received this Call from Ruminate Magazine. Funny how things work out…

Not every food fad is a good one. I am still waiting for jalapeno poppers and chicken fingers to go away. But, if farm to table/plate is a fad, I hope it lasts forever. I am so inspired by how much better the options are out there. And if you happen across a town that already prides itself on food, well then you’re in for a food fantasy. This next Call explores the food to plate issue in a beautiful format. Take a look…

breakfast
BANANAS

Everyone has to eat on the run sometimes. Not every meal can be separated into courses that stretch out over 2 hours. But, compact meals don’t have to be of lesser quality just because they are rushed. My favorite all-in-one breakfast is bananas with crunchy peanut or almond butter with a few berries chopped for the top. Compact but quality–just like this 4 in 1 Call. Take a look…
