I really enjoyed curating the last showcase of my favourite steemit artists at the time. For those of you that missed it, these posts are a collection of quality artists/creators I value.

Its only been about a month and I have already stumbled upon a load more quality artists I'd like to promote. Many late nights wading through spam is worth it when there are these gems out there. If you see something you like don't forget to upvote and resteem their work but more importantly, click follow to stay up to date with their posts. Support quality artists, they deserve it!

The Artists

First up I present:
Peter Gric - @gric
Website: http://www.gric.at/

Mindblowing paintings from this guy. The piece I've featured here is insane. Lots of detail and quality posts overall with step by step shots. He also is worth following as he's resteemed other great artists.

Kaliptus - @kaliptus
Website: http://www.artofkaliptus.com/

I'm sure I found Kaliptus through another artists blog but I cannot remember who it was. He describes his work as

Bridging the intuitive & the technical to create works of art that depict the Transpersonal Realms of Consciousness

I didn't find a huge amount of work on his blog but the website link above will keep your eyes happy for a while! Abstract, surrealist type paintings, sketches, and digital art, also some animation. His about page mentions completing work for the likes of Shpongle, MTV and Marvel.

Steven Tyler - @steventylerdna
Website: http://www.dnaorganicdesigns.com/

I've been following this man since my early steem days. He was posting a lot more then, for whatever reason he hasn't been on for a while which is a shame as his jewellery is beautiful. I love the composition of his pieces. I'm always on the hunt for new wire wrapping artists and a lot can end up looking the same so it was refreshing to find someone doing something a bit different. Incorporating, what I think are cast pieces of silver into his designs really makes them stand out.

Innahandmade - @innahandmade

This lovely pooch was created by Innahandmade. She creates these fabulous creatures using needle felting techniques. Needle felting was a bit of an unknown craft to me so her step by step posts showing how it's done are informative as well as featuring dogs (which is never a bad thing!)

Adam Millward Art - @adammillwardart
Website: https://www.nexusvisions.com/

Adam Millward creates amazing painted mandalas. I loved his work to begin with but after reading through his website i discovered they're all done completely freehand, without geometry tools! Next level! I haven't got a great deal to say about his work apart from I enjoy looking at it alot!

And finally...
Julia K. Ponsford - @juliakponsford

An artist from Canada, creating music, abstract art, and animation too!

Now I can't remember how I discovered Julia on Steemit but I certainly know why I won't forget her! As well as creating art she ran a great online puzzle through the steemit platform. It began here and went off on a wonderful adventure down the rabbit hole, cleverly taking you to a selection of her work along the way. Needless to say, I lost several late nights to that puzzle! but it was a lot of fun and I made a couple of new steemit friends along the way so thank you Julia! Here's the puzzle if I've tickled your interest, https://steemit.com/@juliakponsford/my-cryptoart-and-puzzle-quest-starts-now-the-rabbit-zone-01-10-sbd-prize-if-you-can-decode-the-mystery

She is probably one of the most driven users of steemit that I regularly keep up with and it shows with the great content she puts out and re-steems. Her comment sections are also full of meaningful conversation about meaningful things, a nice change from the sea of spam. If there were more users like this lady, steemit would be a much better place.
Here's one of her latest art contests: https://www.steemit.com/@juliakponsford/art-explosion-week-34-theme-erotica-25-steem-in-prizes
