My First Year at Steemit - An Overview
Dear friends and followers,
after being a member of steemit for one year, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of my highlights with you.

Hello World
This had been my introduction post:
Who am I?
Design
In the beginning I made some steemit related designs:
Steem Advert Design Concept
Just Steemit Viral Poster Campaign
Steem-Billboard Ad Design Study
And also a steemit video opener:
Steemit Video Opener
Poetry
I started to post poetry:
Poetry Slam Challenge 4: Ping Pong
Artificial Steemit Poetry

And that was the beginning of an artist friendship with @opheliafu, who was the first person, that resteemed one of my posts and also the first one, I did a collaboration with:
Dolly [at the steemit-theater]
Collaborations
I did several collaborative artworks for the "collaborative art journey" offered by @everlove ...
"Artist's Eye" - My Collaborative Art with @everlove
... one with @skapaneas ...
My collaborative art with @skapaneas "Ropeman Dali"
... and some with @katharsisdrill ...
Collaborative Artwork with @katharsisdrill - Disco Queen
... which actually led to my most important collaboration on steemit...
Phill from GCHQ
The most important collaboration for me was the idea to translate the webcomic about "Phill from GCHQ" by @katharsisdrill into german language. It led to a vivid and very inspiring cyber-friendship with this danish steemit-artist, that I never experienced before in all my internet history. I translated 35 pages until now and after a few pages @vcelier jumped on the train and began to start a french translation. I'm very happy, that all the pages and their translations are now also viewable at the Phill's website.
Phill vom GCHQ - Seite 1
Spreading the Word
I tried to bring interesting people to steemit:
Im Rampenlicht #1 - Jazzgitarrist Hagen Horn
Cindy Lane - This artist does amazing paintings of whales and dolphins
People I like to see at steemit - Joseph Herscher
Im Rampenlicht #2 - Künstler und Musiker Achim Zepezauer
Art
I started a daily art series 11 month ago, which I first called "doodle of the day" and then changed to "Artwork of the day" later on. As of today I did about 90 posts in this series.
Doodle of the Day #1 - Sax 'n Phone
Here are some more examples:
My most undervalued Art-Posts - Meine übersehenen Art-Posts #1
My most undervalued Art-Posts - Meine übersehenen Art-Posts #2
Recently I also started posting about documenta and other art exhibitions
Documenta 13: Geoffrey Farmer - Leaves of Grass/Grasblätter
Documenta 13 - Thomas Bayrle Airplane/Flugzeug
Documenta 13: William Kentridge - The Refusal of Time
Documenta 14: The Parthenon of Books / Der Parthenon der Bücher
Photography
I also started a photography series called "Heaven and Earth", which had 16 parts until now:
Heaven and Earth 1 [Original Photography]
...
Heaven and Earth 16
Steemfest in Amsterdam
I was lucky enough to be able to attend Steemfest1. Here are some of the posts I made about it:
Artwork of the Day #54 - Steemfest Scribbles
Steemfest 'Tobacco Theater'
SteemFest Inspiration #1 - Rucksack Orchestra
SteemFest Inspiration #2 - Follow your Passion!
How-to
My most notable how-to post is this one about the two column design, I use for my bi-lingual posts:
How to design a two column post - Wie man einen zweispaltigen Post gestaltet [english/german]
Philosophy
My most important philosophy post is probably this one about truth:
Es gibt keine Wahrheit, außer dass es keine gibt
Here is the english version!
Notable German posts - Interessante deutsche Posts
Besides english, I often post in german language, because it's my mother's language and there is also a very supportive german community at steemit. Here are some interesting german posts:
Warum Orwells "1984" wieder Nr. 1 Bestseller ist
TIL: Martin Luther war ein Hassprediger
Warum ich meinen Freunden gesagt habe, sie sollen WhatsApp und Telegram nicht mehr benutzen
Euer Laserdrucker arbeitet für den US-Geheimdienst!
Music
As music is one of my greatest loves (besides art), I also did some posts about it (mostly in the context of #danceweekend).
What's your favorite Anti-War/Peace-Movement Song?
Electronic Dancemusic from People I Know
Art-Market
One of the coolest experiences I had at steemit, was the the abilty to buy art with cryptos. I'm still so happy, that I bought this artwork from @yoganarchista
TIL: Buying Art at Steemit is the most satisfying Experience
I also recently started a series, where I sell my own artworks:
Art or Garbage? - Ist das Kunst oder kann das weg?
Charity
Another cool thing you can do with your steem, is to help other steemians in need. For example, I recently donated steem to help @girlbeforemirror covering her healthcare costs. Earlier I also donated some steem to a homeless steemian in need.
There is even a charity NGO at steemit, which you can support with your votes.
That was a great first post & I love the way you put your artistic talent to work for supporting Steemit! I'm going to need to come back to this post again and again. Hope this year will be bigger and better for you than ever!
upvoted & resteemed @roused

I think people forget how free they actually are on here and that specialization if fine, but still optional, give me the renaissance man lifestyle! Bravo! @ecoknowme :)

Wow, quite a year, after spending here three days, i can just imagine what awaits! You have just got yourself one new follower @shortcut :)
