Digital Drawing

"I have been drawing ever since I was old enough to hold a crayon. When I started school, they discovered I have dyslexia. Dyslexia is damage to the information processing part of my left brain. Because of this, my right brain compensates. I have learned to read by the look of a word & not the letters that make up that word."

"When I became a printer, this way of thinking came in handy. Now that I am designing words & how they look on a page, this way of thinking is invaluable."

FAVORITE FOOD: Mexican food & German chocolate cake

OPEN CALL: International Exhibit

Posted on June 13, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

LASAGNA
anyone?

So, I’ve been looking for a wheat-less lasagna recipe without having to resort to gluten-free pasta. It hasn’t been easy. I’ve toyed with the idea of eggplant or zucchini ribbons, but that seems too expected. Then I ran across Varza a la Cluj, (Romanian version of lasagna) prepared from several layers of finely shredded cabbage (fresh or sour) and a minced meat mixed with rice and bacon and baked in the oven. I’ll let you know how it turns out. In the meantime, this next Call offers three shows–one of which might allow you to try Varza a la Cluj IN Romania. Check it out…

CALL for ENTRIES: Summer Showcase

Posted on June 12, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CHOCOLATE CHIP
on my shoulder

Summer has brought a new challenge to my cooking regime–going wheat-free. No, it isn’t a whim, it is doctor’s orders. I have a couple of health issues that my doctor believes is being aggravated by the inflammation that naturally accompanies the consumption of wheat. But, classic Summer fare like chocolate chip cookies can’t be stricken from the menu, or I might get stricken from my house, ha. So, I’ll just keep trying the get it right. This next Call is for a classic media, and you have several chances to get it right this year. Investigate…

JUROR: Kim Casebeer was born & raised in Kansas. As part of a fourth generation farm family, she has been connected to the land for a long time. Kim still lives in Kansas and draws her inspiration from the simplicity of the Flint Hills, an area of wide open ranch land. “It’s a simple landscape,” she says. “It’s not grandiose. You have to spend some time and let it speak to you.” These days Kim also feels at home painting in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming and Texas. “I think the simplicity of the Kansas landscape has helped me find the essence of other places. I’m able to focus on what’s important in a composition. It’s as much about what’s not in the painting as what is.”

Kim received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Kansas State University in 1992. She worked as a graphic designer and art director in order to pay the bills, while spending evenings and weekends painting until 2002, when she was able to make the leap to full-time artist. Kim has continued to study with artists such as Albert Handell, W. Scott Jennings, Michael Albrechtsen, Scott Christensen and Matt Smith.

Kim has work in many private, corporate and museum collections throughout the United States. She is represented by American Legacy Gallery in Kansas City, Missouri; Grapevine Gallery in Oklahoma City; Hueys Fine Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico; K. Newby Gallery in Tubac, Arizona; Legacy Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona and Jackson, Wyoming; and Strecker-Nelson Gallery in Manhattan, Kansas.

AWARDS: $3,000 for first place, $1,500 for second place and $500 for third place along with 10 honorable mentions

Digital cookbooks are not working for me. I recently bought a gluten-free cookbook on my Kindle. Just, NO. First of all, my Kindle buttons don’t need butter and flaxseed crusted on them. Secondly, because my kindle displays one page at a time, it requires an impractical amount of flipping pages. Sometimes you just need the book. This next Call banks on the fact that curators and directors might feel the same way. Take a look…

Fresh, seasonal food is my passion. You always want the best food when it is at its best. Remember when “hot house” before tomato was taboo?

Could this be THE opening reception you won’t want to miss…

CALL for ENTRIES: Rough & Tumble

Posted on June 3, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T BE BLUE,
crabs or not

Not many people know I was born in Florida. I spent my youngest years with a chicken leg on a string tied to my big toe trying to lure blue crabs for dinner. Florida reminds me of blue crab. But thanks to the next Call, lots of people will think of Florida, or at least Fort Lauderdale, for more than spring break and blue crabs. Take a look…

DAILY BREAD,
I mean yogurt

Can you imagine having the same food everyday? I have a friend that eats plain Greek yogurt with honey at approximately 10:30 am every morning. She makes her own yogurt, and I love Greek yogurt. But EVERY DAY? I read French Women Don’t Get Fat, but I still couldn’t eat it every day. This next wants to see your artwork EVERY TIME. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Represent

Posted on May 26, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CHEESY
me

If I had to choose one food to represent me as a person, I would possibly die of indecision. But, since my food ramblings are only the fluff of why readers come to this site, and you don’t have enough time to wait…let’s will say just for argument’s sake that goat cheese would represent me perfectly. Soft but with an edge, getting a little more tart with age, not for everyone, but goes well with almost anything. Goat cheese is me. If goat cheese isn’t you, don’t worry. This next Call offers you a chance for a year-long representation. Investigate…
