WILL DESIGN
for FOOD

I am a sucker for food ads.  I am fascinated by the look and description of food.  If you want to sell me something… do it with good design.  Like this ad for FIT Ketchup from Heinz.  If you love ads, check out Ads of the World™ where I found this one.  It is the same with art.  As I have mentioned in the Art of Cooking, it is all about presentation.

I am a huge fan of pursuing editorial art publication; however, anything worth having in life is also worth doing yourself

 

Whether it is promoting a show you already have or introducing your work to galleries where you would like to show, postcards are a great idea for promoting your work.  Printing them yourself doesn’t often look professional, and professional printing is more reasonably priced than ever.

Learn more about your postcard options at NextDayFlyerscom!AAAD  is proud to partner with NextDayFlyers.com to sponsor a postcard giveaway. 

 

All you to do is leave a comment on this post telling us what you would do with 100 free postcards, and you qualify to win!  I know a few of you out there are suspicious, but there is no catch!

Comments will close one week from the time of this post. NextDayFlyers.com will use Random.org to pick a winner and set up an account with a credit for a set of 100 4″x6″ Standard Postcards printed in full color on one side and black and white on the reverse. They will include next day printing turnaround time and ship them anywhere in the Continental U.S. 

Pyschomachia by Artist R.L. Gibson and Photographer Jerry Portelli!Those are their rules;
Here are mine:

1. One comment per artist explaining what you will do with the postcards.

2. Comments should not contain profanity or links to other websites.  Editor’s note: I personally approve every comment, so I will know if you break the rules.

3. Spread the word.  The drawing is completely random, so help out your friends and peers by giving them a chance to win too.  Retweet & share on facebook!

Best of luck!  We will post the name of the winner!

SALTY BUT SWEET

I grew up with a single father from age 3 to 13, and it was a culinary adventure.  One of my fondest memories is of weekend-long motorcycle trips when I was around 8.  We’d climb on and hit the road.  I would freeze in the morning early-morning air.  My father’s solution?  We’d stop at every other golden arches we could find for french fries and hot fudge sundaes.  This next Call is a whole different way to celebrate two-wheeled freedom.

CASH for PUPPIES

When someone parts with their hard-earned cash, you can consider their purchase a compliment in the highest regard.  Ultimately, I cannot trust my first food sales because I suspect my puppy dog eyes were a bigger factor than the taste of my lemonade.  But many years later, my husband Jon and I were proud to sell gourmet hotdogs in a little downtown store front.  The poodle (a turkey dog with feta and red-wine cucumber relish) remains my proudest culinary sale.   This next call could result in the sale of your artwork, a high compliment that could leave you with extra dough for hot dogs!
