Spread LOVE

I know I have been a bit quiet this past week though in the distance I have been casting votes with my temporary delegation from @msp-makeaminnow (so grateful) that will move now to a dear friend so she can do some goodness (congratulations @d-vine).
I have been posting less because I had several friends visiting and also a couple of concerts including a trip to Barcelona in order to make one of them... so my time on Steemit was limited to the smarphone in which I found impossible to properly format a post. But been around casting votes (though I will include only the latest with still active posts) and pretty much up to date and I hope to share soon some impressions about the recent performances. Now catching up so here is a new MUSIC AND ART curation post

Engagement challenge: Post meaningful feedback to your favourite artist and win STEEM

So the mini challenge is back for this Art and Curation post... I will award 3 STEEM (one to each of the winners). All you have to do is to visit your favourite artist (musician, visual artist or writer) and post a meaninful review encouraging feedback. Then post your link on replies in this post. I will award 1 Steem to the most meaningful one. To be eligible you have to provide proof in it you have listened/read/watched the post. So make your favourite artists happy and get your chance to win a reward for it.

Art Curation


Above: "Exhausted by @donnadavidsart

@donnadavisart is one of the many talented illustrators that have joined the INKTOBER CHALLENGE. She has been delighting us with some lovely witchy drawings of late at her posts, and I picked this one being the most recent and also having a hint of humour about the "Mana" discussions after HF20. As you know Inktober happens every October and it's a month where illustrators try to sketch an ink drawing a day... some as many as they are able too. There is an official prompt with themes you can follow from Inktober Official site but It's up to every artist to follow an alternate prompt as well or just share as many ink drawings as they're able too.



Artist Adele @adelepazani offers a DIY tutorial of how to make FLUID art with acrylics paintings and the results are utterly mesmerizing. I'm definitely going to try this. My mind drifts trying to interpret the abstract yet "flowing" results... It made me think of underwater reefs, forest filtered lights... An amazing technique to make contemporary art of backgrounds and somehow with a very natural organic kind of result. As soon as I clean my own desktop I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for sharing this. Vote her post here



Here another evocative and thought provoking almost dream-like doodle by @jungwatercolor also made for the INKTOBER challenge. I have a fear of Heights and I immediately felt drawn into it with both thrill and uneasiness... Such a simple piece or at least it looks like so, because with that ominous perspective and abyss-like darkness it can convey the "vertigo" to me. Along with a "Who will jump" first liner... Post includes more inktober sketches too.



And finally a super cute grass dragon by talented illustrator @scrawly
I really want to pet one of these... isn't it adorable? I really love the palette of colours and the background with different layers of green to create depth... He looks so peaceful in its slumber... :)


Music Curation

Talented singer-songwriter @Isaria is one of my favourite of Steemit shared an unofficial @openmic entry

Here is @Isaria delighting us with one of her haunting songs STRAY and she plays the guitar as skillfully as she does her piano... with those lovely chord progressions and ethereal quality and some unsuspected pitch shifts. She has always that ethereal aura around her and I like the lower key of her vocals in this one.

@Dinoromanelli shares again his amazing guitar playing skills sharing this short but sweet performance of his original song Cadillac Car. Barely a minute long is as long as it was meant to be and as a songwriter myself I understand perfectly what he means by that. Dino is participating often in the @openmic contest and usually shares with us music reviews of his favourite music albums (he has a rather eclectic taste). So this is more an overall shout out to someone I think is usually underrated in the platform. I really am not an usual listener of Americana but his skills both as guitar player and performer are amazing and he is quite an storyteller.

Featured contests and curations


Mad World Round two promo pic by @tygertyger

@Tygertyger Mad World contest was an "epic" idea. Making music with random household objects and sharing the artistic outcome and making of is so much fun. I have been enjoying the amazing talent of the contestants, some rendering some seriously good pieces of music but with that "let's have fun" element into it... so here is ROUND 2 guidelines... And now the theme is CHRISTMAS so



@veryspider and @scrawly Team of two brand new contest for artists was a total success on round one and It has now announced a Round Two. This is a contest that elicit collaboration between visual artists on Steemit promoting and rewarding artists for reaching each other in order to build something together. A really sweet idea. And here ROUND TWO guidelines

Jeffy and Snibby: Two Kitten CURATION TEAM

And yet again Snibby (@Isaria 's cat) has been sponsoring a music and art contest every Monday not only rewarding the winner but featuring many of the entries on their curation show on Sundays at PAL/MSP.
But now also their cat Jeffy (isn't it cute?) has joined the Curation train and is doing music and art curation posts on their @steemcreative So we have now two CUTE kittens curating the Steemian authors

By the way, please consider to vote for @Steemcreative as WITNESS both @Isaria and @swelker101 have teamed up and they have been doing Music and Art curation ever since I joined Steemit. So here is my humble attempt to it, but they have been relentlessly curating manually and encouraging artists all along.



Also we must not forgot the ART EXPLOSION Winners of the week, an art challenge hosted by @juliakponsford The prompt was "SELF" Here sharing the winners of last challenge and stay tuned for next. A great engaging idea for visual artists as always.

Fellow Helpienaut @soundwavesphoton is determined to make you rich, LOL! :) and he has launched a new contest that encourages not only engagement but a healthy act of selflessness. The idea behind it is that you can earn by "promoting someone elses post" using the tag #promoteapost



Sassy hosts @thebugiq & @poeticsnake launch and premier tonight their first radio show on "You got Snekked" discord server at https://discord.gg/QzMhkm6 The show will run from 9-11 PM UTC (5-7PM EST) and it will feature live curation.
For the curations follow @yougotsnekked Snekky and her team of curators are doing a great job delivering love to the platform. Don't miss their live curation show tonight and hopefully every Monday now on



Charities of the day


Disclaimer: Thank you @msp-makeaminnow

Disclaimer: These curations posts are being sponsored by the 5000 SP temporary delegation got from @msp-makeaminnow contest from PAL discord. So consider to delegate to them and be an active member of PAL to be eligible for future rounds or be able to cast your vote for those steemians you find worth. Thanks once more. My period ends today but I tried my best to spread my diaspora of love. With the HF20 and trip that came afterwards my time was a bit more limited but I kept voting. I kind of wish to continue to do these curations even if not having voting power... Do you think I should at least do once a week? I think I may try... As I said in my previous curation post (that really wasn't very seen because it was post during the hard fork turmoil) We are all curators So keep on spreading love.

You are welcome

Thank you so much for including me with some wonderful Steemit talent. You have chosen some of my favourites! I love curation posts, as they really do help us all fine one another. After the hard fork it's nice to be getting our steemit back :)

Aww glad to know you feel in "good company" :) You're very talented, it was a pleasure to pick you out, so much talent around, I can spread many votes but it wouldn't be practical to fit them all in a single endless post, so I had to decide the few that would go up in this time, :) but loving your inktobers, you had to be there.
