Call for Fishermen for 2012 Gloucester Fishcake Calendar

That Adam Bolonsky came up with a great idea that Rocky Neck East End Madfish Wharf Girl artists Wendie “Bomb Diggity” Demuth, E.J. “Did You Know?” Lefavour and newest addition to the Neck, Gigi “Spicey Meatball” Mederos are running with?  We are going to put out a 2012 Gloucester Fishcake Calendar (Gigi came up with the name) full of your favorite and hottest looking Gloucester’s Finest Kind.  This is a call to all of you who know and love some of those strong, good looking, manly professional harvesters of the sea (fishermen, lobstermen, clammers, shrimpers, if it comes from the sea and they bring it home for a living, we’re looking for them) to be nominated to be featured in this one-of-a-kind, definitely destined to become world famous, Gloucester Fishcake Calendar.  We need to move quickly to have the calendar ready to distribute to the world by September, so if you want to nominate your favorite fisherman or lobsterman, please email khanstudio@comcast.net, call 857-891-9054 (EJ at Khan Studio and the GMG Gallery) or stop by 77 Madfish Wharf at your convenience – we’re here all the time.  This is going to be real, Glosta, oldest working seaport, finest kind, fishing capital of the world stuff.

About E.J.

Artist, researcher, spiritual traveler of this fascinating orb we inhabit, lover of life and all it has to offer. Hi everyone out there in GMG land. My name is Ellen “E.J.” Lefavour (a/k/a “Ejay Khan” – the pseudonym I used during my years as a political activist artist). I am a newcomer to Cape Ann, and thrilled to be a new contributor to Good Morning Gloucester. I am a painter and photographer who has lived and worked as an artist for 20 years, since leaving the corporate world in 1990 to pursue my passion. My contributions to GMG will consist of images (either my paintings, photographs, or the occasional video) and a little history about the image, called “Did you Know?” I hope to come up with tidbits of information that people don’t already know, or had forgotten they knew. As I am new here, everything is new and fascinating to me, especially the amazing history, so bear with me if I post something that is common knowledge – I’ll eventually come up with something that’s new to you. Please take a minute to comment on my posts, like them or not, especially if you have corrections or something to add, as that is how I, and all of us, learn. Have a Good Morning Gloucester, and a blessed day.

    If you do a search on GMG and find a Sean jumping off the roof of the dock in a jester’s hat and a jockstrap you have one month down. No need to clean him up.

    I think Sean would be a great addition to the calendar, but he would have to be wearing something over that jockstrap – this will be a respectable fishcake calendar, showing our men of the sea in the light of pride and decorum they deserve. Of course, in the summer, if a fisherman or lobsterman normally wears one of those little what do they call them muscle t-shirts? that would be fine by us.

    Joey, all of GMG land can now see where your male Scorpio mind goes. This is a creative endeavor of the highest caliber and intent to portray our men of the sea and the Gloucester fishing industry in a way that people (albeit probably mostly women people) can appreciate and enjoy every day of the year. I think you’re just miffed that we’re not including lobster brokers. Now, I’m speaking for myself of course, I can’t say what Wendie might have in mind for those poor unsuspecting fishermen.
