Steemit Art Centre gives your posts exposure. Just drop the link to your post in the comments below and I will add it here.

Exposure is important because the more your art is seen, the more followers you will attract and, in turn, that brings more upvotes and income for you.

We have the Steemit Art Centre Gallery running now. There room for everyone.

Please use the Gallery by dropping a link below. I'll be pleased to display it here.

Here is information about using the Steemit Art Centre Gallery:

Any artists who want to display their work in the Steemit Art Centre Galley should make their own post with the artwork they want to display then drop a link here in the comments below. That will enable me to display it. You can display as many artworks as you want

It also means you get income from your own post.
