In this article I look at the highest paid posts on Steemit in the area of Art and various statistics around payments under this tag.

This post recognises the authors whose content was very well received by the Steemit community. Links to the original posts are given for this who missed them first time round.

I also provide statistics on the distribution of payouts by percentile, how payouts in this category have changed since the start of April and some other interesting results.

I've analysed data from Steemdata on every post with the art-related tags from the 1st April to 31st May.

So...here are the results:
