CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Bucktown Arts Fest

Posted on April 22, 2018April 22, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

say CHEESE

I can’t imagine how many times I have written the words “I love goat cheese”. It is easy for me to for to write these posts and reveal my food soul and forget that people READ these posts. But when I give career development seminars, I have readers that show up (thank you) and have conversations with me about food that remind me that people know way too much about what I eat, ha. Recently at a seminar about branding yourself as an artist, I had someone bring me goat’s milk soap since they couldn’t keep goat’s milk cheese cold. ♥ This next Call doesn’t have a lot of requirements, but one of them is that your design must include a goat. No, I’m not kidding.

Check out this Call for Submissions from Bucktown Arts Fest (Chicago, IL) for Annual Poster Contest. This is a great resume builder for the winner. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Into the Sea

Posted on October 23, 2017December 6, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

SEAFOOD, anyone?

If you lived underwater, what would you eat? Indulge me here. If you were an inhabitant of Atlantis, what would be on the menu? Are you really going to want to eat your fish, turtle & crustacean cohorts? Can you be a vegetarian with only kelp to forage? Mysterious, no? This next Call wants your poetry or art interpretation of Atlantis. If you figure out the food, let me know. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Fairytales of Atlantis the Into the Sea poetry/art collaborative project. This is a small startup for a book with no entry fee & a whole lot of fresh, enthusiastic energy. I have a good feeling about this one…

*Editor’s Note: It has been my practice to only publish opportunities with which I have some sort of experience, either personally or through a friend/peer. But, I also like to try to vet more informal opportunities, and like the straightforward nature of the curators, but I can’t guarantee you anything. You have to weigh this opportunity for pros/cons just like any other publication option.

“According to Plato and Greek mythology, the island of Atlantis was a utupia whose inhabitants became too greedy and power hungry (there are some variations on this). To punish them, Zeus and the other gods sank Atlantis. We wondered, what if this story was more of a classic princess fairytale, where Princess Kleito (who marries Poseidon), has to sink Atlantis in order to save it? And go…” –Elise Rorick & Sarah Ryan

CALL for ENTRIES: Lab.8

Posted on May 14, 2017May 11, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

PASTA perfection

Fettuccine alfredo is the picture of pasta indulgence for many folks, but I have an artery-clogging love for pasta carbonara. If you haven’t had this egg-y, cheese-y, bacon-y deliciousness, I warn you that one taste could ruin all other pasta for you. I like a little extra cream and a few sun-dried tomatoes & fresh green peas in mine, but I’m guessing some of you didn’t need to hear anything after bacon, ha. This next Call includes a shot at an exhibition in Rome, from hence carbonara originates. Take a look…

freedom FOOD

I have been a rule follower by habit, not conviction, most of my life. I have spent the last 3 months trying to break that habit in preparation for a new life of freedom and food and felicity.

pretty PROVISIONS

Design impacts my food choices. Bad or excessive packaging will decrease the chances that I will try a processed food. And what’s with fruit like apples and oranges in individually wrapped packages? Don’t they already have their own packaging? I recently discovered that I am not the only one that chooses wine, at least in part, based on the label design. It is okay; you can admit it too. Design is a huge part of the impact of this art magazine. I love this publication. Maybe you will too…

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on August 28, 2016August 25, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

say CHEESE

I witnessed a cheese fight this week. Okay, a cheese argument. I was having dinner in a restaurant and overheard a fairly ugly discussion about sheep’s milk vs. cow’s milk cheeses. As we finished our dessert, the conversation was headed toward a goat’s milk cheese debate, and fearful that I would be unable to jump in, I promptly exited. Ridiculous. Given the world’s issues, the differences that separate cheese lovers may be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. This next debate celebrates our differences, even amongst those passionate about cheese. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Illustration Awards

need a
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…

ARTIST of the DAY: Oriol Malet

Posted on February 16, 2016February 16, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

musical GEN(i)US

I find artist inspiration in unexpected places. Lately, I’ve had a rash of commissions that have come musicians –from punk to folk. My brain processes the sound aesthetically and the imagery just appears. I appreciate the opportunity to exercise my creative brain differently. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Oriol Malet finds much of his motivation in jazz. (continues below)

*Red Books (left) & White Cat (right) by illustrator Oriol Malet!*

Malet assures us that he does not take his references from graphic design but from literature and music. Oriol’s drawings derive more from the work of Boris Vian or Charles Mingus than from any visual artists. He has been studying music for five years on the drums he has played all his life. Now, in addition, in honor of his devotion to jazz, he has begun to play the trumpet.

doing the MATH

In a house with a Music major & an English major, you’d be surprised how of the words “let’s do the math” are uttered. It is actually a reference to time. Because our performing careers require extensive preparation & travel, we “do the math” backwards to calculate leave times, load-in times, travel times. Language is defined by the user. Sometimes it joins us; sometimes it divides us. When teaching branding, I like to remind people that art is inclusive but labels like illustration & graphic design are often consider exclusive. Creativity boxed. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Adam Flynn invites you to do the math and appreciate creativity in all its many boxes. (continues below)

CALL for ENTRIES: Small Plates

yours, MINE
& ours

Food is so personal. A client recently asked if I had any dietary restrictions so that she could be prepared for our branding consultation that will span a lunch time. I’m allergic to parsnips, which is rarely an issue, and wheat which is always an issue. Always. Her response? We grow our own heirloom corn varietals from which we grind our own corn meal for cornbread.” Food is PERSONAL, and this next Call couldn’t be any more personal. Your support will determine the growth of this opportunity. Please make it personal for you too…
