Did you know that October is @yusaymon Appreciation Month? [Contest Inside!][200sp Delegation for a Month]
Yu is an amazing man. He has been on steemit for 8 months. Every day he creates amazing art and videos. This is one of my closest friends here, and a favorite artist of many people!
There are so many incredible people on steemit. He is a wonderful human being, who is art, and is love. I am continuing to be amazed and inspired by his work, maybe you have as well! If not, you are in for a treat!
Let me introduce you to........
@yusaymon
At time of writing this article, he has created 389 posts on steemit. In 8 months!!!
These are not spam posts. This is his Art, his Heart, his Soul!
One of the first people I met on steemit was @yusaymon. I was in #"general-noposting" except it was just called #"general" back then. I was asking Yu if I can use his art for my blog, and he said yes immediately. Has never asked for anything from me, and he even volunteered to create images for me and #art-services.
#art-services is a channel on the #steem-art discord server, as well as a tag on steemit. This is a place to connect artists with eachother and with other bloggers. This way we can share art, collaborate, and use steemian images instead of going to a free stock photo site. Especially when I started I could not afford to give artists much, so I just gave them a tip, for whatever I could afford. When I had a little more later, I gave them some more. This is a good practice for artists and bloggers, because this helps us to share our audiences with eachother. Also, why wouldn't you want to use art from steemit? There is so much of it here!
So anyways, I decided to have a month of appreciation for Yusaymon who adds value to the blockchain, every day! He is an underappreciated artist, only in the sense that many people may not have seen his art yet!
I am sponsoring a contest for "Yusaymon Appreciation Month". Whoever makes the best post(s) about yusaymon gets one month 200sp delegation from me. I am seeking some other sponsors so we can award more prizes, and hopefully something nice for Yu as well.

Here is some more art from Yu!
Thank Yusaymon for being my friend, and for making steemit look good!
Good luck to all of the contestants!
I feel that I am going to cry .. never in my life I felt this mixture of emotions, I remember the time that my parents told me "Don´t go to school" "You don´t need to study"... if you are going to study find a Job... with 15 years old my life has become a fight in hell to get out of a cycle, when I remember where I came from and everything I fought for the situation that happens in Venezuela and everything that allowed Steemit in my life I feel great satisfaction in my chest everything I struggle in the Design Institute and the support that I have received from all of u guys I have no way of how to thank them all. I hope someday to be able to give them all their support and thanks for believe in this weird boy
I am never going to give up and thanks to Steemit I learn every day more and more, I know that it has not been in vain the days that I work in the garbage truck or the times that I work agriculture to pay my school.
Not listening to criticism and continuing fighting for my dreams is becoming more tangible, I will die fighting adversities or achieve my dreams.
My head it´s a world and I will give you the best. sorry if I made mistakes and your expectations has been anulated.
I love you all
Congratulations my friend! going to your blog now to show you some more love :)

@inquiringtimes---I don't know how I've missed following you. What a beautiful beginning to know our connection through @yusaymon...a truly amazing artists and diving being!!! His art is definitely some of my favorite art on Steemit--so much to love about it in every way.
I love how you love on him and are giving us this opportunity to show our love and appreciation for him. An incredible idea to honor our friend. Loving you, @yusaymon!!! Thanks for being you!
@everlove the times that I am in front of this laptop and I read you I feel the intense need to go to wash my face to question me if this is possible in some way, I remember very clear the words of a friend saying "You are always underestimating yourself Yu" maybe my effort to try to give the best and throw to trash so many jobs made me look crazy for her, even now I feel that I don´t deserve every word you say ... I am a human with defects but every time I meditate more in the great love that I feel for you every day when I wake up to see those magical blogs and share with you my crazy things, make everything flow like the wind, your words permeate a beautiful spray the drops of my minutes and seconds. I feel tremendous gratitude <3
Awe @yusaymon! What a poetic expression you are!!! Your words, your art, YOU are definitely a blessing!! We all have our flaws, but what we do with them, and better ourselves because of them, is where our expansion lies. Some of my best works have developed from a piece of art I thought was better destined for the trash. Now, turning trash into treasure is one of my fortes!!
Your friend is a wise woman, as from where I stand you are deserving of this and more. Its obvious that @inspiringtimes also believes greatly in you. I doubt it is not only your art, but also your character that moves him to makes this post about you.
I am blessed to have met you here on Steemit. Your talent really is something to be honored. You bring a lot to this platform and I am grateful to have chosen to share it with me. Much love to you @yusaymon!!
I will always think of your words dear when I feel devastated and poisoned in my thoughts, turn the garbage and everything dark into light.... How delightful it is to talk with you. <3
Yu is the man. How can you not love the guy. Great post great initiative for a great artist!
Thank u my friend <3
I don't know how work as of now. However since you shared such a passion for his work I will certainly check him out.
Following you my friend :D
What a nice post to honor a friend. I actually came across him in the karaoke contest and he certainly is entertaining even just doing that.
Thank u dear for ur words !!! <3 <3
Your art is really good. I'm glad @juliakponsford and @vachemorte resteemed this so I could see it. Upvoted!
Thank u I´m following u !!! :)
