A massively easy contest for talented artists! Win Steem Basic Income shares by just saying hi!

in #contest6 years ago (edited)

Hey everyone! Are you an artist? Do you make awesome drawings/paintings/sketches/comics?

Here are the rules to enter:

  1. I dislike contests where you're told to make something for free in the hopes of winning a prize, that's way too much free work done on everyone's behalf most of the time! So you don't have to make anything new for this contest.

  2. Just drop into this thread and say hi if your blog already shows previous work where I can clearly see that you are the original artist.

  3. Following me is not required and neither is resteeming. However, I would greatly appreciate resteems, because that increases the network effect and chance that I will see other deserving artists.

  4. That's it!

The prizes:

  1. I will give at least 1 @steembasicincome share to people whose work I like. I'm not @billionairebot though, so I might not be able to give something to everyone.

  2. For those whose work I like and who are willing to accept this offer, I will keep in touch with you on discord for the possibility of commissioning work from you with guaranteed minimums + % of the profits from posts that I write.

Why the heck am I doing this?

  1. I've always loved art (very generic statement indeed) and want to support some local artists on the STEEM blockchain. I was looking around and realized that it was kind of hard to find people through a messy #art tag that was full of, well, not so good art. So I feel this is a better way for me to find artists, and a way to give you a small token of appreciation for your existing contributions to Steemit.

  2. A show of good faith for anyone who I will commission art from in the future.

  3. Because I just published my first #steemstem post and do not want to hog their generosity for myself. I hope I will find talented people to work with in the future in order to improve the presentation of my posts.

Hi :)

Hi! Your iota contest submission was ingenious, lol, really liked your esteem one too. Getting you a share and adding you to the list!

Hi, this is my artist account I am just getting going. I will be posting regularly from now on. My curation account is @solar I really like what you are doing. You can see some of my past work at http://nils.tv to get some idea of what i'll be posting in the future (although i'll primarily be posting new work)

Oh cool, you do a great job at @solar.

That means a lot, thanks so much! I try to keep it fresh and spread reward to people creating interesting art. I have some plans for taking it to the next level, and hopefully benefiting the steem community as a whole, so keep an eye out.

Just to clarify, did you want the @solrasol account or the @solar account getting the share? Like polymath has said, great job with the @solar curation, and while I did not have video or live art installations in mind when I made this post, that definitely constitutes art! :D

I don't have plans to post my own art on @solar I will keep that to @solrasol, so the share would go to the latter. Thanks!

I will be doing a mixture of video, collage, projection and sound art.

Okay got it for solrasol!

We've met before but hi anyway!

You have to go back a ways in my blog to get to art that isn't photography or music right now, so I'll take the liberty of linking an older printmaking post: https://steemit.com/printmaking/@tcpolymath/spring-screen-prints-and-introducing-in-negative-space

I also draw and make comics from time to time, and there should be some new comics soon as I have a late-June deadline.

I look forward to the comics, and the prints are indeed arty and labor intensive so you will get a share!

Hi! Just threw 1 steem over to sbi with you in the memo! :D

Thank you very much 💥💥💥 appreciate it @charitybot

Hi! I looked through your blog posts but I cannot find any posts that showed proof via a creation process for your artwork. Not just for my sake but also for yours I recommend you show at least some of the process of how you make your art. If not, then for example other artists including one other one I've seen on this thread here have taken at least one picture with their art with a piece of paper near it that shows their username. That way people can more easily tell that you are the original creator.

Also some friendly advise, id slow down yohr posting to maybe once a day. You'll reach a wider audience that way and save some of your art for when you've got more of a following so they can all see it!

Thanks for the advice, Charitybot. I'll heed to your words on the posting rate. Unfortunately, I suspended painting over 10 years ago, and concentrated on graphic arts and photography more of. However, I will search in my archives on my email box and e-drive to see if I could dig up such evidences.

Once again, thanks for the advice...

No problem, although I think it was the other guy who talked about the posting rate, and I agree with him. It looks like most other artists post at most once a day. I can see that all the paintings you posted seem to have the same signature, I will get you a share as well and add you to my voting list.

Oh, and I see in a past comment of yours you were asking about delegation, when you have an account created by Steemit Inc, the company that runs steemit.com they are the ones delegating the temporary steem power to you.

Anyone can delegate any amount of SP (steem power) they have to anyone else, some do it for profit, some do it to help people or groups they appreciate. They can set a time for the delegation and rescind it at any time, but it takes 7 days for the delegation to come back to the original owner, during this period neither party can use the SP.

Congratulations. Your post is randomly selected to resteem and upvote!
Please consider upvoting this comment and following me to better support the community.
Regards, @resteemdone
