CALL for ENTRIES: Storybook Fragments

Posted on September 12, 2012September 12, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

MORE GREENS
and beans

Children are picky eaters. No matter how many green beans you feed them as toddlers, the chances are good that they will go through a chicken fingers & fries stage. We all assume it is because their taste buds haven’t evolved. But research indicates that a child’s taste buds are MORE sensitive than adults. My kid will eat brussel sprouts now. The war has been won, or the taste buds have dulled. Who knows? This next call is all about the child’s perspective. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Storybook Fragments from Naming Ceremony online showcase. This is a really inexpensive ($20 for 6 images), and the links back to your website could be valuable. Don’t miss the possible art publication opportunity either…

NO OYSTERS,
thanks

Eating is a guilty pleasure for me, as you know. I sometimes think it may be the single most important thing my husband and I have in common. But honestly, all foods are aphrodisiacs for us, ha.

I am not a fan of red velvet cake. Someone will be at my door any moment to evict me from the South, but I am just don’t get it. Most of the red velvets I have tasted are lightly cocoa-flavored cakes with the plastic-y overtone of excessive amounts of artificial red coloring.

CALL for ENTRIES: Changes Abound!

Posted on September 6, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LET US
eat cake

Can you believe we have arrived at our three year anniversary here at AAAD? This is post 812. What has changed in three years? I receive A LOT of email. I love the foodie email, updates on careers, and recipes, recipes, recipes.

Most of the galleries and artists that contact me are looking for exposure. They aren’t asking for reviews, recommendations or glowing critiques. Most are confident in their abilities to prove themselves and simply need a little help getting their gallery opportunities or their personal artwork out there. I applaud your motivation.

As usual, every year I glance back at the sites older pages and make a few updates to the visual style and ridiculous wordiness of my writing style. I made a few changes today, and most of them are in response to your requests for additional opportunities for exposure. There are lots of opportunities for Exposure on AAAD. Take a look…

Submit your Call – With 1000+ daily readers, you’ll receive a wide diversity of entries. Guidelines for submissions have been updated.
Featured Artist Submissions – Enter the $5 Art Contest for a post featuring your work, an interview and links back to your website. Yes, this went from $2 to $5. Still cheap.
Sponsors – You can now advertise your art-related business on AAAD. This isn’t Google Ads, folks. Art-related business only. I reserve the right to say “no” if it isn’t the right fit for the site. Visit the new Be a Sponsor page for more information.
Food Sponsors – Want me to try a new food? Click here.
Individual Artists – I am still figuring out the best way to offer an unjuried and inexpensive way for artists to share a page that links back to each website without just making it a long alphabetical list. Boring. Give me a little while, and I’ll get back to you.

So thank you for three great years. I have got the 3-year itch…so hang on folks. AAAD will be undergoing a few experimental changes over the next few weeks. As always, I welcome your feedback.

Have a Wonderful September!

My mother hates refrigerated tomatoes, mayonnaise and cucumbers. I think all produce is best eaten cold. Homemade mayo is a guilty pleasure, and gyros would suck without cucumber.

Time is almost up…

I am guilty of making the occasional sauce to cover up an over-cooked piece of meat. Yes, I know that any meat that NEEDS sauce shouldn’t be served, but it happens.

I am intrigued by how menu items get there names. Wouldn’t restaurants have it easier if they could just put “Mc” in front of any item and make it a hot ticket? It works for the golden arches.
