CALL for ENTRIES: Todd Opportunities

Posted on April 17, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

lots of
STEAM

My son is learning to cook. More accurately, my husband & I are forcing our son to cook dinner once per week. He has shown no really interest in producing meals–only eating them. So, we are not giving him an option. My concern is that if he doesn’t learn how, he’ll be forced to eat commercially-processed crap his entire life. He doesn’t like cooking. Doing anything solo the first time is scary, but my kiddo has turned it into a pressure-cooked affair. Let’s hope it gets easier. This next Call is YOUR chance to do art solo. Don’t stress, just submit a proposal…

Check out this great Call for Entries from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) for Exhibition Opportunities at the Todd Art Gallery (Murfreesboro, TN). A great place for YOUR solo show…

TWO POTATO

I like to think I am pretty smart about food. But, regardless of what I know, I cannot kick the habit of eating emotionally.

CALL for ENTRIES: Turquoise

Posted on March 17, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

don’t be
BLUE

There aren’t really any naturally-occurring blue foods–of which I am aware. But maybe that is why I’m not a fan of color blue, with the exceptions of navy (almost purple) & turquoise (high green only). Blue foods scream, “Plastic” every time I see them–from icing on cakes to the blue tongues of toddlers eating shaved ice. I know; my food quirks never end. This next Call is just the perfect shade away from blue. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Folktales & Legends

Posted on March 12, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

chaste crackers
SINFUL CHOCOLATE

Food legends abound. Every time I think I have heard them all, another creeps us. Did you know s’mores are meant to curb sexual desire? Well, kind of. Sylvester Graham, the inventor of the graham cracker, was a minister that created an entire lifestyle including the consumption of this self-proclaimed “bland” graham crackers as a way to control wild sexual urges. We’re thinking he wouldn’t approve of the debauchery that is marshmallow and chocolate though. This next Call wants your best work surrounding a legend. Fun theme with an IMMINENT DEADLINE…

CALL for ENTRIES: Semblance

Posted on March 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

going
BANANAS

I watched soap operas before I could talk. More accurately, my mother used to put me in my high chair and turn on The Doctors while she enjoyed her lunch. One day it came to an abrupt stop. Apparently engrossed in an overly-dramatic subplot, my mother neglected to notice I had fallen asleep and face-planted in my peanut-butter-topped-bananas. Since then, anytime my mother even see a commercial for a soap opera, the portrait of me covered in pb&b conjures guilt. This next Call wants your portraits; the food is optional. Love this…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Semblance

The whole of a person caught within a single frame; portraits can be reactive, didactic, contemplative and illusive. ‘Semblance’ refers to the outward appearance something or in this case, someone.

BITS OF BEANIE

I’m torn about chili with beans. I love it; I do. And, I live with an acne-prone teenager. And, kidney beans are high in zinc which helps fight acne.

i hate myself
FOR LOVING YOU

Something borrowed, something new; something green, something like glue. If I am married to food, the heroes & villians in our relationship are well-defined. Despite my best efforts, potatoes continue to fight against me in the form of chips, fries & luscious, comforting soup. They aren’t inherently evil, but they do have a tendency to lean toward the dark side of gluttony for me. The heroes, conversely, tend to be green & roasted–fresh Brussels sprouts, snap beans & crowns of broccoli. As I continue to fight the good fight, here’s a great Call that will allow you to fight your own battles. LOVE this venue…

I have never been a water drinker. I prefer cold-brewed, black tea–decaf, no ice. But, I do force myself to drink a few glasses a day.

Figi & even from the demilitarized zone between North & South Korea. This next Call leaves the source of your water to you. Take a look…
