CALL for ENTRIES: Creative Quarterly No. 24

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email! FOOD YES,
WHINE NO

I am a magazine reader. Yep, the paper ones. I read and peruse imagery as motivation for household projects, photography and, of course, cooking. One of my favorite food magazines? Food and Wine, of course.  I have delusions of grandeur each and every time I watch Top Chefs that I could win that show and have my work featured in F&W.  Instead, I am opting to submit my art to this Call for Creative Quarterly.  Do you think Food & Wine will be so impressed they will cover my food anyway?  Me neither.  Anyway, don’t miss this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries for Creative Quarterly. The entry fee is an incredibly low $10, and art publication is great exposure for your work. Take a look!

SLOW not SNOW

I must confess that I do less cooking than my daily ramblings might indicate. My dearest husband does much of the cooking in our household, and he does it wonderfully.

This call offers you an opportunity to produce work while still being someone else’s muse. Great idea…

Check out this Call for Entries from Open to Interpretation’s juried book competition Water’s Edge. Have your work become the artistic inspiration for a literary masterpiece today!

RESOURCE for ARTISTS: Model Mayhem

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!

DRIVE-THRU
YOU

Food access easily drives what you actually consume.  There isn’t a real restaurant within 10 miles of my home.  As a result, we cook almost everyday.  There is only one grocery store within 10 miles of my home; therefore, there is no late night run to the store for chips or ice cream or chocolate.  We have to plan our bad behavior in advance.  This post will help you plan your artistic behavior and give you phenomenal access to a great artist resource.

Check out this Opportunity to join Model Mayhem!  There is no fee to join, and some models with work for prints.  The database is searchable by state and city, and if there are available models near me… there are models near you!  Take a look…

Check out Model Mayhem!MODEL MAYHEM

My esteemed collegue, Arizona-based artist and photographer Jerry Portelli, has been shoving me out of my comfort zone for a couple of years now.   And, he introduced me to Model Mayhem–an online resource, primarily for models, that offers photographers and artists a way to connect to models near them.  For the models, it is an online “go see.”  For you, as an artist, you get to pour over their profile and previous work to find just what inspires you.

DEADLINE:  Quit procrastinating

NOTIFICATION:  The sooner you join, the sooner you’ll find your muse.

ENTRY FEE:  I have had several models agree to TFP or Trade for Prints in lieu of cash. They build their portfolio, and I have money to eat and still produce artwork.  Model Mayhem is free to join, but you must be approved.

Find a model at Model Mayhem!ELIGIBILITY:  The approval process isn’t automated. You must fit into a member category and the requirements for that category.

Here are a few highlights from their site:

Bio Requirements You are asked to provide a short bio as part of your application. Please provide details about your experience, goals, reasons for being on MM, or any other relevant information. Please err on the side of providing more info rather than less. Also, don’t make it sound like a personal ad.

 Provide 4 Different Photos (or more!) At least four different photos are required for all accounts. No duplicates, re-crops, or manipulations of the same image. Members are expected to maintain a minimum of four relevant photos at all times.  

I'll bet you can guess why I like this image!Quality Images Required

They want quality images on Model Mayhem. Your photos must be judged to be of sufficient quality. This means that you should not submit webcam shots, mirror shots, poorly exposed photos, too grainy, too much compression, arm’s-length self portraits, personal snapshots, etc.

Make Your Photos Big Enough

MM recommends that your photos be 600-800 pixels on the longest side. Anything less than 200×300 pixels or so is typically too small to see. Images wider than 800 pixels will be resized.

No Fakes They take copyright laws very seriously. If your photos or profile appear to be the work of someone else, you will be denied. Check out Model Mayhem!   

No Pornography Pornographic material is not allowed on this site. This includes photos, linking to such sites or networking, or referencing adult work in your bio or portfolio.

Photographer Requirements

ART PUBLICATION: Three Magazines

Learn How to Get an Art Show!

SPRINKLES PLEASE

Magazines are skinny lately.

Have you noticed?

I suppose online zines are shrinking the proverbial waist of the magazine industry just as online newspapers are making words on newsprint less and less common.

My advice?  Eat a doughnut.

Most folks want the instant gratification of Google that ends in a digital zine.  Information sought.  Information found.  But…

Rolling Stone MagazineI still love the feel of paper, inky or slick, in my hands. I don’t own a digital reader because I still buy books. I subscribe to Conde’ Nast Traveler so I can fill my dreams with tours of gilded Russian palaces and sunny Italian beaches. I have recently re-subscribed to Rolling Stone after a hiatus of more than 10 years, and trust me, more than just Keith Richards needs some fattening up.

Eat a doughnut, folks.

So why am I babbling on about magazines? It is a question of legitimacy. I have had lots of conversations with lots of subscribers and friends about what constitutes artistic legitimacy or “making it,” aside from the ability to support oneself artistically.

The Artist's MagazineIs it an academic pedigree or a resume of academic acceptance? Is it great reviews or stunning retail sales? Is it merely a well-hung cohesive show with “guts” and meaning?  I don’t know, sorry.  I can teach you how to get a show, but I can’t teach you how to be happy with it.

So, for all of you whose artistic dream is to be on the cover of the Rolling Stone, here’s a short menu of great art magazines…get to work.

1. The Artist’s Magazine. This is the first art mag I every owned. I was inspired by the work…wanted to be a painter…wanted my work to be featured among its pages.  That hasn’t worked out for me so far, but their Annual Art Competition has a looming deadline so don’t procrastinate.

Juxtapoz Magazine2. Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine (pronounced Jucks-tah-pozz) is a magazine created in 1994 by a group of artists and collectors including Robert Williams Fausto Vitello, C.R. Stecyk III, and Greg Escalante, to both help define and celebrate urban alternative and underground contemporary art.  Anytime I have an art block, I find flipping through an issue of Juxtapoz inspires me.

Unique in the field of publishing, Juxtapoz emerged at a critical moment during the genesis of the late-20th Centuy underground art movement with the mission of connecting seminal modern genres like psychedelic and hot rod art, graffiti, street art, and illustration, to the context of broader more historically recognized genres of art like Pop, assemblage, old master painting, and conceptual art.

ARTnews Magazine

3.  ARTnews is the oldest and most widely circulated art magazine in the world. Its readership of 200,000 in 123 countries includes collectors, dealers, historians, artists, museum directors, curators, connoisseurs, and enthusiasts.

Published eleven times a year, ARTnews reports on the art, personalities, issues, trends and events shaping the international art world. In clear, well-crafted language that is as comprehensible to the novice as it is to the expert, the magazine offers a lively, provocative, and visually stimulating package that informs as well as entertains with news dispatches from a worldwide network of correspondents, hard-hitting investigative reports, criticism, and opinion.

 

I am still posting from the road, folks, but stay tuned… we will return to our regularly scheduled programming in just a few days!

Frogs’ legs are one of the better-known delicacies of French and Cantonese cuisine. They are also eaten in other regions, such as the Caribbean, Portugal, Slovenia, northwest Greece, Italy, Spain, and the Midwest southern regions of the United States.  A type of frog called the edible frog is most often used for this dish. They are often said to taste like chickenbecause of their mild flavor, with a texture most similar to chicken wings. I like them with a side cucumber-dill yogurt.  Yum.  There is no witty food/art connection today–I just love frog legs, and jumped at the opportunity. hehehe.  You cannot consume this next opportunity from Toad, at least not literally, but it does sound delicious.
