This Just In: Local Steemit Artist @nonameslefttouse Enters an Art Contest
With Style and Elegance
Hello friends, well-wishers and passersby.
Today is a great day in the land of Steemit dotcom. The king of eye catching article covers that have the word Attention on them has once again grabbed your attention.
Today, I, @nonameslefttouse The Writer/Artist Himself, am submitting my official art entry into @papa-pepper's world famous:
WILD & STRANGE CONTEST Season 3 Round 2 - ART
When I heard it was once again my time to shine, I pounced like a street squeegee connoisseur during rush hour at a red light. There was no way I was going to pass up such a great opportunity to give @papa-pepper so many free plugs. I also thought I should follow the rules and enter the image I created.
The Rules
Take this image seen below of Steemit's own @pyrowngs(winner of round 1)...
...and do whatever you want with it!
As some of you may have noticed in the past, I, @nonameslefttouse The Writer/Artist Himself, am very good at doing whatever I want.
Not A Thing Has Changed!
Well, except for the picture. That changed. Quite a bit, actually.
What you are about to see may end up being the strangest thing you have ever seen in your life! After all, the contest does have the word strange in the title, so I thought my creation would be rather fitting.
So, without further delay, I present to you, the strangest thing since unsliced bread combined with that weird guy who drives the van around town. The latest and quite possibly greatest creation of mine to this day and as we speak!
Better Buckle Up!
Behold!
Stranger Than Contradiction
To Conclude
I certainly enjoyed messing around with yet another image provided by the members of Steemit and thanks to the rules of @papa-pepper's fancy contest. This is the third time I've entered round two. Of course, @papa-pepper, you have my permission to use my creation as you see fit. Thank you to @pyrowngs for being such a good sport and congratulations on winning round one.
Whoa. I've dealt with overly frizzy hair before, but "Owly" hair. That's a new one! lol
I put your eyes on the owl too! LOL. Thanks for being a good sport. I had a lot of fun with this!
Oh my! I missed that the first time. lol Cool! Can't wait to see what happens in parts 3, 4 & 5!
This little game is always fun. I usually sit out the other rounds though. They said art. I art. Good times!
cool creation bro! I like that part were you make the picture art.
That's my favorite part too! It's like the photo got artified by a neologist.
Indeed, I feel like that is a true statement but I also don't know what a neologist is :p
I think it's an unofficial word meaning: A person who makes up words.
Mmmm interesting, I think I see what you did there. An "unofficial" word for someone who makes up words:p
Yes. I tend to play these games with people quite often. Some notice, some don't. Either way, good times.
I LOVE IT!
I just can't stop smiling while looking at it. LOL Thanks! I needed that.
Everyone's smile is what gives this strange creation a mouth! Isn't that intense!
I... am an Artiste!
...and you... are welcome!
That was intense!
And brilliant. But you didn't hear that from me 'cause I might have to follow up with a hat pin to the cranium to prevent an inflated skull.
Don't worry! This Man is on days off.
I like it, it made me chuckle
Perfect! I was going for funny/strange.
Phew, thats a relief ;o)
It's good you said something. I often wonder about those people who come along and think, "Is he serious?" This clears things up nicely.
Free publicity for Papa!
instant upvote!
I wasn't sure if you were feeling famous enough today so I thought I'd give you a little boost.
... and thanks again for putting on such a great little contest for everyone to have fun with. It's always a blast!
street squeegee connoisseur during rush hour at a red light??? LOLOL
But all joking aside, this should win. I'm serious, this is awesome!!
If it wins, it wins. If it doesn't win, I still got to make it and enjoy the festivities after showing everyone. Did you know... I put the human eyes on the owls before I turned the owls into... that?
Seriously? This piece really shows how talented you are. You know I love your art, and this is not one I would put on my wall LOL, but it's genius, truly!
I spent a lot of time on this(was kind of hoping for the trending page...shhh!). I'll take the compliments though!
(It deserves the trending page) I'm gonna resteem it.
Weirdly I just threw a post up about my day that I didn't expect to make more than a nickel and it's up to two bucks! Turns out people like peeking into my life, who knew? LOL. But if there's something I want to hit the trending page, it's the 'steemit journey so far' post I'm working on. Gotta time that one right.
Trending... I'll be spending the next few hours spamming chat just to get one or two more views. Time shifts soon and the other side of the world might see this, a few more views. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be trending today.... and that's bringing me down a bit but WHATEVER! lol!
'spamming chat' what does that mean? this is not a technique I'm aware of. Well I resteemed it, so that could help maybe..actually I'm always a little confused as to how resteeming works. Does it show up on the home page for my followers or just on my page? If it shows up as if I posted it, that would be good to know because then there might be a good way to time it.
Also, check out my post, it's such a pain in the ass to have hundreds of votes and a pitiful handful of views and an even more pitiful handful of comments.
Look for the post promotion pages in chat, drop your links there. It helps, sometimes. Resteeming makes the post you resteemed show up on your follower's feed, the moment you resteemed it. It also adds the post to your own list of blog posts.
I was already over at your blog. Keep your chin up and take what you can get. With all the talk about certain problems and a few possible changes that will remove the incentive for people to even want to join up and vote for things... I'm having a hell of a time keeping my chin up... but I do it anyway.
Oops, I accidentally skipped to round 3 of the contest. My bad.
Great image btw. Really well done.
I hate when my hand slips and I accidentally make a meme! That has to be the worst thing ever!
Thanks for the compliments. Man, I had a lot of fun putting that together. Took my time fine tuning a few things and that's what we end up. I probably could have spent more time, but it was getting late. I wanted people to actually see it, ya know!
I'm glad someone else knows how it feels. The struggle is real.
Anyhow, keep up the awesome work man!
Looks like my hand slipped and typo'd the crap out of that comment as well! ...I'll be fixing that.
...and I will keep it up! Thanks for stopping in.
Awesome!
Uhhh...You win. lol This is incredible!
Well lets not get ahead of ourselves now! I certainly appreciate the thoughts and compliments though. That original image was a total blast to play with. I started obsessing a bit about a few things, but finally just let it go and that's what we end up with today. I'm glad you got to see this and thanks again for the kind words.
Haha, ok, so maybe I jumped a bit too far ahead - But I LOVE this piece! You should do more like it.
I don't play around with photos very often. I ran this through my usual art program so I didn't have too many fancy tools to play with. I like to be as random as possible, so there's a chance we'll see more things like this in the future.
WOOT!
