Popcorn is now complicated.  I used to enjoy it from the theatre or from the microwave.  But in the continuing effort to eat real food, my husband now insists on popping it from the kernel on top of the stove.  We ran out two days ago, and after briefly considering experimenting with the .gif suggesting you can pop it on the cob in your microwave (don’t do this, btw), we opted for a bag of microwaveable popcorn left from a recent hotel stay.  Just no. Because Styrofoam, no. The next Call is Popped, sort of, & they don’t want Styrofoam either.  Deadline is NOW…

Check out this Call for Entries from Les Popped NYC, an Artist Collective for In a New York Minute.  $32 Entry, but NO COMMISSION.  The deadline is APRIL 9th, so enter TODAY…

ARTIST of the DAY: Melissa Hill

star light STAR BRIGHT

Some days are tougher than others.  On the toughest of days, I wish for the ability to see things through a larger lens, if you will.  I wish for perspective.  The ability to see things without the subjectivity of whim or personal tragedy or privilege.  Surely a different view would lend answers to the who and the why.  Or maybe just compassion and tolerance for others, for oneself.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Melissa Hill, gave me just a glimpse of that perspective I crave.  (continues below).

“I hope that my work has enough longevity and nuance for people to look at it and take something from it and for those same people to walk through life, change themselves, and then reflect upon it in a different light. I want their interpretation to shift and evolve as they do. I want this because in the end, I think that the act of creating and recreating is at the very heart of being human.” — Melissa Hill

FOOD

Time for planting decisions has arrived.  We’re probably clear of the last frost where I live, but now it is time for mama black bears and their cubs to begin wandering out of their dens.  In fact, critters all seem to be ready to get the season started.  So, how do I choose to what to plant?  I need hardy veggies that aren’t overly attractive to foraging wildlife.  Then there is what we have dubbed the fern-factor.  There seem to be some things, I simply cannot grow; tomatoes & ferns are on the short list.  Funny how gardens differ based on the gardener.  Thumbs definitely come in different shades of green. This Call for photography wants to see your interpretation of how the figure influences the landscape.  Take a look…

from L.A. Photo Curator

 

The relationship between a figure & the landscape context can be powerful. Landscapes are often presented as pristine places, without human presence.  However, figures within landscapes can play dynamic roles as scale elements, protagonists in a narrative, or mysterious presences.  Sometimes figures can ask more questions about a place than they can answer.  For this exhibition photographs that extend beyond documentation of place to bring a human element into the natural or urban landscape are sought. –from laphotocurator.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE:  April 15, 2016 (Midnight PST)

AWARDS:  The curator will still choose one 1st place winner, one 2nd place winner & 3 honorable mentions. The 1st place winner will receive a review by one or more curators including a Q&A about the photographer’s work. In addition, their image will be on our home page for a month. 2nd place & honorable mentions will have their image shown along with their bio, artist statement, CV & a link back to their website.

CORN

I have such reservations about corn but none about corn pudding.  We had it for dinner tonight.  I always think of corn as hailing from Iowa.  (I am clearly like a marketing sponge.)  But as I spent hours on the back roads of Ohio last year trying to avoid the nightmare that is I-75 South, I drove through miles and miles and miles of corn fields, intersected only by the occasional two-lane or gravel road.  Dazzling. Beautiful. Waving both “hello” & “goodbye”.  A landscape of corn.  In Ohio.  This next Call wants your landscape or seascape, or even your corn.  Take a look…

cooling OFF

My brain spins. And my mouth usually keeps up. I turned to my husband recently & asked, “Are your ears tired? I can’t seem to shut up.”  I struggle to quiet my mind, hence twenty years of insomnia. Some days I require a sole project or a single object upon which to focus to have a more solitary soundtrack in my head. I find the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Mark Castator, requires me to concentrate on the forms within the form which is oddly calming. (continues below)

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…

gray DAYS

Cold weather can be lovely –in its season. But I crave blue skies. I get a few during winter’s grip; however, as March marches forward, I am growing intolerant of the gray days. My optimistic nature makes me want to find the beauty in the gray.  Imagine my delight to find the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Barbara Witkowska with all his glorious shades of gray.

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…

abstract math PORTRAIT

I have a well-known soft spot for portraiture.  A significant part of my own work has revolved around facial expression, but abstract art calls to me.  I buy abstract work.  I find that my interpretation and feelings about this work evolves as my time with it increases.  I am always delighted to find a marriage of the abstract and the figurative. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Jylian Gustlin gives me just that marriage. (continues below)

FRUIT

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…
