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…

SAUCY

I like to think I eat fairly clean. But by coincidence, I ran out of all of my standard sauces at one time which necessitated my seeing them ALL in my shopping cart at once. Who new? Soy, fish, oyster, Worcestershire, Thai chili, plum, four vinegars, 3 mustards, and lets not forget sriracha. In my defense, there ARE a few of scratch-made ones like barbecue & chocolate sauce. It seems my portfolio of foods aren’t all as pure as I’d like to believe. This next Call want your purely individual portfolio. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Pure Abstraction 2

FRUIT
boundaries

I believe the concept of “edible” is abstract, not just subjective. Technically, anything that doesn’t kill you is edible. Well, really, you can still eat things that WILL kill you. So, I suppose if you are physically able to consume something, it is edible. So, maybe the notion of “eatability” is the abstract one. Why would someone pay a fortune to eat a fertilized duck egg? Because they are yummy? Doubtful. But, the precedent for eating eggs and eating ducks has been set, so I understand why it would occur to someone to try. But coconut? Green or furry, how did someone look at a coconut and say, “let’s eat one”? Abstract. This next Call is also purely abstract. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Pure Abstraction 2. $20 Entry and great marketing awards. Is this one right for you?

APPLES
stink

Bugs, both lady & stink, invade my house every winter. I can only assume their numbers increase wildly due to the need to seek warmth. The ladybugs that everyone adores are different that the erratic, mean-spirited beetle variety that haunts the windows & lampshades in my home. And the stinkbugs, oh my. Did you know that National Geographic wrote an article a few years ago suggesting that these odoriferous creatures add an apple flavor to sauces? Thanks, but no. I’ll stick with the orchard original. This next Call is the only place I want to see swarms. How about you?

CALL for ENTRIES: Recycle

Posted on February 17, 2016February 18, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

hello
AGAIN

Cooking is a constant exercise in recycling & upcycling in my house. A whole chicken will provide a dinner, chicken salad for lunch, broth for future soups, scraps for breakfast hash or lunch tacos plus a treat or three for the pup. My least favorite of all these is the original chicken dinner. The upcycled & recycled varieties are always superior, just like the media for this next exhibit. Never have an empty plate by expanding your menu by incorporating what you already do…

FISHY

Children often outgrow the dislike of strongly-flavored foods, but I truly just substituted some for others. I used to love sardines on saltines as a kid, but now you can always anchovy paste in my pantry. This could be an explanation for why our household is such a hit with all the neighborhood felines, just like this next Call should be. Take a look…

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…

CALL for ENTRIES: Road Trip

cold weather
SUNCHOKE

Winter vegetables are a problem. I am allergic to parsnips, tired of ever-present potatoes, refuse to pay $6 for a head of cauliflower, and am the only person left on the planet not addicted to kale. This leaves the cabbage family, spinach –and Jerusalem artichokes. I can’t remember the last time I ate time had this lovely tuber. One of the best things about root vegetables is they are rarely bought excessively under-ripe, and since most folks roast or mash them, they are rarely too ripe. That makes them easy to buy and uncommonly wasted. Where are my keys? Road trip. I am headed to the grocer, but you should head to this next Call for road trips. Take a look…

guilty PICS

Many of you ask if I take the food photos used in AAAD posts. Occasionally. I took this one (left). But more often, the imagery is stock. I really don’t document what I eat often enough to provide a library of images from which to choose. I have tried to break myself of the habit of being “that” diner –the one whose food gets cold while they get the perfect angle– out of guilt that my family was suffering the consequences (cold, soggy food). This next Call wants YOUR documentary images, food optional of course. Investigate…

Food is so personal. A client recently asked if I had any dietary restrictions so that she could be prepared for our branding consultation that will span a lunch time. I’m allergic to parsnips, which is rarely an issue, and wheat which is always an issue. Always. Her response? We grow our own heirloom corn varietals from which we grind our own corn meal for cornbread.” Food is PERSONAL, and this next Call couldn’t be any more personal. Your support will determine the growth of this opportunity. Please make it personal for you too…
