CALL for ENTRIES: Illustration Awards

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…

ARTIST of the DAY: Adam Flynn

doing the MATH

In a house with a Music major & an English major, you’d be surprised how of the words “let’s do the math” are uttered.  It is actually a reference to time.  Because our performing careers require extensive preparation & travel, we “do the math” backwards to calculate leave times, load-in times, travel times.  Language is defined by the user.  Sometimes it joins us; sometimes it divides us.  When teaching branding, I like to remind people that art is inclusive but labels like illustration & graphic design are often consider exclusive. Creativity boxed. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Adam Flynn invites you to do the math and appreciate creativity in all its many boxes. (continues below)

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…

Chalk menu boards are sort of a bummer.  I can appreciate the eco-friendly nature of the notion as well as the flexibility for casual restaurants to keep their menus updated and filled with fresh ingredients.  But I sure miss the illustrated paper menus.  Aside from the handful of chalk art geniuses out there, nothing really beats bad menu illustration.  Come on, you know you just had a flash back to your favorite childhood pizza joint’s drawing of the mustachioed chef complete with red neckerchief and checkerboard pants.  I suspect those illustrators aren’t going to be competing in this next Call.  Take a look…

a legend LOST

David Bowie influenced so much of the world — music, fashion, design.  He died Sunday after a long battle with cancer.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Helen Green may have captured his sense of life and change and joy the best.  Thanks, Helen, for the bright spot in a dark day.

Green chili has made my week.  Sometimes I struggle in the winter since most produce is sun-powered.  But, I have learned how to make the best of what IS available.  Using imported, hot-house tomatoes is never my first choice; however, if you are going to cook them for hours, like I do in green chili, tangy unriped green tomatoes can be just the thing to fool your taste buds for another week until Spring arrives.  Here’s a sun-powered Call that will make your week too.  Take a look…

life LESSONS

If the life of American artist Margaret Keane, famous for drawing portraits & paintings with big eyes, taught us anything, it is to be careful who you trust with your name, with your work — with your legacy.  Today’s featured work leaves me with the same words of caution.  AAAD is happy to share the work of Stockholm-based artist Amanda Senneby, our current Artist of the Day, with you. (continues below)

small men GREAT WOMEN by Stockholm-based artist Amanda Senneby!
“small men GREAT WOMEN” by artist Amanda Senneby!

“A self-initiated book project with the working title Small Men Great Women.  The purpose of the project is to tell the story about successful couples where the women have been neglected in the historiography in favor of their men. I want to examine a simple way to communicate and pay attention to a difficult and inaccessible subject.” –Amanda Senneby

Have you ever eaten a persimmon?  I am headed out for a road-trip soon, and I am super excited about eating persimmon pudding in Indiana.  Persimmons are typically cultivated in the southeastern U.S. but grow WILD throughout much of Indiana.  I think their love of this weird little fruit has resulted in some of the best uses, including the notorious pudding.  Give a persimmon a try.  Make sure it is ripe though; trust me.  This next Call IS ripe and from Indiana.  (I know.  Bad.  Sorry.)  This is a great call…
