If you haven't heard yet @apolymask is hosting a ridiculously awesome Information Finding Championship! Check the tag #informationfinding to see all the posts involved, read this fantastic post by @charisma777 to catch up on everything that's happened up until the Current Round 12!
Join the fun and help us build up the Digital Castle!
Information is Power and Sharing is Caring!
After brainstorming about what I could do as a post for the Bonus Round I had a bunch of dancing pictures run through my head: hippies dancing care free, ballet or tap shoes, those old dancing maps with the feet outlines!
I was lacking a GREAT idea when @bashadow came to the rescue (as usual!). As the first entry to @apolymask's IFC Bonus round @bashadow busted out a dedication to the man of dance himself David Bowie! There were even some comparisons made between Bowie and @apolymask which I have to completely agree with - they are both visionaries ahead of their time!
I believe @apolymask that you are also like David Bowie and Elon Musk, not just a pie in the sky dreamer, but an individual who will bring his dreams about through innovative methods like those two did.

My Entry:
After much consideration on reference pictures I settled on an old favorite and decided to put my own spin on it, of course!

Thank you @apolymask for creating such a fun Bonus Round and a place where we can our artwork, thoughts and knowledge!
Upvoted ☝ Have a great day!
thank you @hotpacks ! Have a great day too :)
I like this drawing, and love how you also put up some Bowie!!! @sandrina.life started something here when she said she wanted More, more, more!!!!! Great job with the entry! I am glad the list helped you, and I look forward to seeing more posts later! Much Love!
@charisma777 thank you very much! It did not turn out as I hoped.. almost trashed it but thought what the hell I'll just share it LOL on to round 11 and 12 now ;-) I have a great idea for 12 but still thinking on 11
I actually like it, it reminds me of the picture from @apolymask's page, and the picture of bowie meshed! You are creative, we usually doubt ourselves, but i have learned when in doubt, try it out! I believe we have to get out of our own ways sometimes and let our creativity free, just because it isn't what we believe is our "best" doesn't mean someone out there won't look at it and say omg, I have to have this picture, book, car....whatever it is. Keep up the great work! You are awesome!
You're one wise woman @charisma777 :-D totally made me feel way better!! thank you <3 <3
Now, you are gonna make me blush! lol. It's true I mean from the newbie contest win to now, your creativity shows! Look at the comments on your creations and I guarantee not one says, omg, this is the worst...you can't do it! So believe that you are creative and don't allow that doubt to creep in.
Yes, I have to keep telling that self-doubter to just STFU !! lol
so much love & respect to you ! so happy to have you in my corner!
Awesome entry! Love the original artwork. :) You're a very talented artist.
Also, you're very welcome for the contest opportunity and thank you very much as well for being a part of it! I love your style and appreciate your presence here and I'm sure I'm not the only one!
Oh by the way I think you forgot to post your entry in the official round thread. It will help all the judges see your entry if you put it in the official round thread where it's suppose to be! And no worries, a lot of people forget are forgetting to post their entries where they suppose to go.
Maybe in the future I can make the rules more clear, though even numerous people who know how it works still forget! So.. Oh well, it is what it is, I don't mind reminding people. :)
Cheers and thanks again for the great entry! :D
oh! it's nothing against your post - I did read the rules lol just had a bunch of things going on in my brain and forgot the last step! Got distracted with comments and discord! I'm adding it on now - thank you so much for the reminder :-D
so happy you liked it! thank you so much for your kind words @apolymask!
Understood. Didn't think it was and assumed something like that was porbably the case. And you're welcome. No worries. Thanks for being a part of the contest. :D
wonderful art..
thank you very much @cariglee :)
I recently saw the ballet, "The Red Shoes" and was drawn to your post! Nice work!
