In Case You Missed It: Art Edition #8
Since the beginning, I've been publishing these posts for everyone to enjoy.
Quite often, I'll produce new covers and include artworks within the articles themselves. Sometimes they are hidden or overlooked. Views are very important when it comes to art. Grouping these pieces together from time to time makes viewing much easier. I like to give these pieces a second and sometimes third chance to see the light of day before I file them away into the archives.
This approach allows me to keep things organized as well. Rather than digging through my pile of blog entries to find that picture you liked last month, you'll be able to seek out these posts which will lead directly to the superb quality images I continuously produce.
It has been a couple of weeks since I've gathered everything up and published one of these posts. For a time, I was able to produce enough art to be able to do a post like this every week. Some of you may have noticed a few very large images recently. Those tend to take many hours to put together, so, along with a busier life, I haven't been able to produce as many. I suppose quality over quantity is a good thing.
The cover at the top is new. It's name is That's Life Sonny Boy. Now, here are seventeen more great works of digital art produced by me, @nonameslefttouse The Writer/Artist Himself!
Please, enjoy this grand spectacle of wonders and amazement.

That's about all I have for today. Not everything made the cut. Some of the images produced these past two weeks don't fit the theme here, so they were left out intentionally. If I did miss something though, and you'd like to see it here, please let me know.
If you have any questions, please leave those in the comment section provided.
A big thank you to all who've been supporting me and my offerings lately. The votes, the views, but more importantly, all of the kind words and encouragement. It all means so much to me and helps get me through those rough patches in life.
Again, I'd also like to give thanks to everyone involved in making Steemit happen. Without mentioning names, simply from the bottom to the top and everyone in between, you should know who you are. To all the people who do their part which in turn gives us this great opportunity, thank you.
Also, this week, a special thank you goes out to Steemit's own @dreemit. Thank you for being the first person here to have enough confidence in my work to consider making a purchase. You have something for your wall, I received a boost in Steem Power and confidence as well. It all goes back to the Steemit community in the form of votes, so, everyone wins. Thanks again.

'Clean it up' is my favourite in this edition. Nice work.
Thank you @opheliafu. I like that one as well. I was experimenting with a few tools, using them in a way they're not intended to be used. Combined with a few other tricks, I did end up with a nice image. There's a lot of chaos behind that one. I'm glad you like it.
Maybe I'm drawn to chaos today!
Drawn to Chaos. That could be a band name, you know.
Coming soon to Steemit...
Excellent work congratulations dear friend @ nonameslefttouse
@jlufer! It seems like a long time since you've dropped a comment in the @nonameslefttouse comment section. Thank you and thanks for stopping in.
You have nothing to be thankful for, your work is worth it, congratulations
I have everything to be thankful for, but I know what you meant. Thanks again.
That was unexpected, thank you :) I can't wait for the frame to get here, I'm thinking I should have paid extra for the speedier delivery...and I'm already sifting through your work to find one for the other wall :) I'll probably narrow it down to a few and then wait until I put this one up before deciding.
Well, I'm not going anywhere, you have plenty of time to decide. Keep in mind, not every image I produce can be as large as the one you bought. And of course, let me know if the printers need anything different. I'm insistent on making sure the end result comes out as intended. There shouldn't be any loss of quality because of the file. Let me know what the final costs were as well. I want to make sure everyone is getting a fair price, including me.
Do you think there would be any problems having it printed on poster board? Because I want it to be displayed to its best advantage, there's no doubt it will end up being more costly for the frame and printing. I could go a much cheaper route for those things but I'm sure it wouldn't turn out as well.
I haven't had the opportunity to test things, trial and error style. The printshop people are always the experts. I realize the framing and printing adds to the cost. That's why I want to keep my prices as low as possible. I more or less just want to be paid a wage for my time to process.
I resteemed this by the way ;)
I noticed and it's greatly appreciated. These art editions are for everyone. Clean, no opinions, no characters, ... it's just me giving my work one last chance and trying to prove some of the potential of this platform to everyone. Those views though... I really don't know what more to do to increase that. I think I've tried everything.
These are just to good to 'archive'! I am no artist but I love the art. I have asked many a time about repositories or accessible archives. They would serve as a demonstration of what goes on in steemit. If we mooted the idea as a punter gatherer (like my use of words there?) - we might just get something. I know we might need to find a traffic and voting mechanism - even for non-steemians and they can collect the value upon sign-up.
Thinking aloud ... they are just too good and there are others besides.
Thank you my friend!
Well, I like to keep things fresh. I don't want to keep using the same images repeatedly. I guess this is my way of creating a catalog of my images. Once I have about 15-20 new ones, I'll make this post. I look at like a CD, 15-20 tracks. I hoping for that day when the masses arrive. I think I'll be prepared and be able to show them a lot of good stuff. If an image service ever comes along and people sit around liking images all day and if those votes pay me, I think I'd enjoy that. Until then, I'll just keep plugging away.
You always have a way with words though @ebryans, probably one of the best around here, I'll give you that. Thanks for stopping in and enjoying this stuff. It's such an honor to see so many people take a liking to this stuff I produce. Sometimes, I don't know what to say.
Kind words and compliments abound! Not enough of them about. I hear what you say about freshness - I think the artist can grow weary of his/her work, as a chef loses his/her appetite upon the completion of a culinary triumph.
There is value in the works of the likes of you as a differentiator from the FB drivel and twitter twaddle.
I shall muse upon this with guile!
Namaste!
Wow, have you ever read Tom Robbins? That paragraph somehow combines his amazing work with a Dr. Seuss flair!! I love reading the comments on this artist/author himself's page, so much fun and such great people contributing!
Aren't you kind, as always, @dreemit - you know one day I am going to have a day of catharsis and be able to call everyone by their real names. It seems like there is a veil of secrecy which masquerades as Miss Trust! I digress.
I do not know Tom Robbins; as long as he is no relation of Anthony Robbins, I am very open to his works, especially if they come so recommended.
Thank you enormously - mwah!
Oh it is highly doubtful he's related to anthony, ha! I'm happy to tell you my real name, but I think it's fun to go by dreemit, it's not about trust for me, it's just become part of this delightful play called steemit, haha.
Even a kid gets bored of their crayons. Sometimes, frustrated, to the point of breaking the crayon. Then, they discover their new crayon has an edge unlike the other crayons and it can do new tricks. Keeping it fresh can come from the craziest of places.
Now that is a beautiful insight! I am not sure whether you saw my post about Charlie Mackesy - he is a seriously good artist whom I knew back in London days - he was repeatedly going through new learning stages and then starting again like a child. It drove him to internal fury in a really difficult manifestation to observe. It tore him asunder. The process was obviously worthwhile, though emotionally hugely costly. His art is not just beautiful; it is emotionally charged and expressive as would shock you. Well, I think so!!
Sorry, I am rambling .. a bad habit of mine.
Rambling is fine here. The door is always open at this forum. If there's one thing I'm not afraid to do in life, it's pressing the reset button. When I have a moment I'll go digging for that post. I may have seen it, but some days on steemit can be an informational overload.
'Clear'. That one does things; little peripheral arms appearing, and even little gold hands, but when I looked, they'd finished, and moved to new spots.
I've heard that no art is finished, it's only eventually abandoned by the artist. 'Clear' is practically animated-- it's alive!
Nice stuff from the gallery there.
I put a lot of time into that one. I remember looking at the wall after staring for so long and seeing little people dancing around. I could probably name that one Drugs and I don't think anyone would mind.
As for abandoned, I know what you mean. For me though, it just comes to a point where I say to myself, "okay, that's good enough." Otherwise, I probably could spend days obsessing over minor details. That image wouldn't look anything like it does now if I did that though. Kenny Rogers knows when to fold 'em.
Thanks for stopping in and enjoying the show today. These gallery style posts are turning into one of my favorite things I do here.
"That's life Sonny boy" is my favourite! how do you come up with these titles anyhow?
My mind wanders. I've learned how to include it within my focus. Instead of ignoring the random thoughts, I listen to them. The idea just pops into my mind and I go with it. I don't worry about what anyone is going to think of it, I don't try to polish it into something "better." They're just given to me as a by-product of my existence. In other words... I can't really explain it!
I'm glad you like that one. I just finished it today, put it up there, and realized it's missing a layer. That was a layer that didn't really need to be there though. Flaws and accidents, chaos... it all seems to work for me.
I see...a peek into the mind of @nonamesleftouse!
That, or someone left the door open at the looney bin again.
I had to restart, given the end of the string - at least we know how long it is here!
Here is the post if you would like to see it:
