I will travel for FOOD, will you?

If you could have any food you want for your next meal, what would it be? My favorite foods list is a moving target, but my dream foods list is dwindling. I find that more and more, I just want an authentic meal… dim sum in Hong Kong, ceviche in Peru, pho in Vietnam. Let’s go. This next Call is my stateside art dream– the National Portrait Gallery. Do you have a portrait to submit? Take a look…

Posted on July 23, 2017July 24, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

i want all the FOOD

Today has been the hottest day of the year in my area. Normally I would have hidden indoors for fear of having a heat-triggered, cough-variant asthma attack. But, I ventured forth and no asthma attack. I have dropped a few pounds recently in an effort to reduce the chances of overheating this summer. The change is my cheese-nuts-olives, free-for-all lifestyle has been dramatic but worth it. My next goal is to get off asthma meds completely, while NOT starving to death, ha. That’s my medical drama. What’s yours? This next Call wants your medical or anatomical imagery with a wide range of interpretation. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Scarlet Seven Gallery (Troy, NY) for By the Skin of Your Teeth. This is a great space, and I am happy to have work in their upcoming Eroticism show. Entry is only $20. Don’t miss this opportunity…

FOOD without fight

Date night used to always be mussels steamed with white wine & peppercorns. Post shellfish allergy, I find our date night regularly features ahi tuna, ripe avocado, chilled vodka & goat cheese for days. But, since our teenager left home for his summer job & college, we’ve decided that any meal without a kid is a romantic dinner, ha. This next Call is looking for your take on sensuality & eroticism. Take a look…
