Interviews with Steemit Artists kicks off! As you see, @organduo has been kind enough to be first. It's a long interview so I am posting it in two parts. It's very interesting to see how @organduo ticks. What a talented man!
Here is the link to part 1 of the interview: https://steemit.com/artstorm/@deemarshall/must-read-post-an-interview-with-the-steemit-artist-organduo-what-makes-him-tick
Read about his artistic background, how Pinky and Spiky came about and much more. You are bound to be impressed by this talented Steemian. We are lucky to have him as an artist!

I'm going to post one of my own paintings here to start off a Steemit Art Centre gallery.

I painted this in acrylics when I first passed my Art Diploma. It was the first painting I had done completely on my own so it has a special place in my heart.
Come on guys, why not have one of your artworks in our gallery? Please let me know in the replies section below.

I’ve got a question @deemarshall, what do you mean by our art gallery, and where do you send the art? Gorgeous acrylic painting by the way Dee, and thank you for this post❣️
Thank you for reading the post. I will explain it properly in an Art Centre post but here are the basics:
I want to make a gallery of our artwork. Eventually, it will have its own post but that would need people to display their art in it.
For now, artists will make their own post with the artwork they want to display in the Art Centre then drop a link here like you do in Artstorm. Then I will display it on this post.
That way you get income from your own post.
I shall also give some amount for displaying the artwork here after payout but I'm still working on how much it will be.
I hope that helps :)
Thank you @deemarshall, can it be and old piece of artwork hanging on my wall that I did without a step by step process? Thank you Dee❣️
Yes, it's not a contest where new work is needed. I never look at the step-by-step for Artstorm. I think it's a waste of time. The art you submit to the gallery will get a little more exposure and you earn income from your own post. You can submit one piece of artwork every 7 days.
Oh that’s wonderful @deemarshall, I will do that then thank you so much for this opportunity❣️
You are welcome! Let us hope people visit :)
