There's Always a Bigger Fish...
I've gone in search of prime examples of these amongst the articles that most spoke to me in my month so far here on Steemit, for your viewing pleasure. You don't need to think twice...: Go follow these people. They're going places.
First up is this article by @sarahart - My favourite (but otherwise the rest are in no particular order):
My Top 5 Artists Challenge
It is as engaging as engaging gets, with a contest that asks you to create a post about your top 5 favourite artists. It deserves a lot more attention than it has gotten so far, with all the rewards of the post to be shared between 5 winners. I intend to take part as soon as I can.
When Pigs Fly
This immediately pulled at my heartstrings. It is important to me to make people aware of the willful ignorance practiced by the human species concerning our mistreatment of our fellow earth inhabitants. I'm very enthusiastic about companies like Memphis Meats, who are pioneering the in-vitro meat industry.
7 Tips to Make Radically Inclusive Art
I'm from South Africa. I've seen first hand the pain caused by ingrained prejudice. And it is not enough to simply not be non-racist. You have to be actively anti-racist if you want to make a real difference. We need more people like Lily in the world.
Walk, Listen and Learn... From Homelessness to Happiness
This will probably lift your heart up to your throat and make you cry. Her story is incredible. I'm looking forward to drawing on the experience Sarah has had in her life as she posts more. Only those who can persevere through the worst storms in life can truly appreciate the moments of blue sky and sunshine. <3
Lend Me Your Senses and Prepare to Be Amazed
My own humble post, introducing some of my art and offering two prizes. It is this that I am most looking forward to doing here on Steemit. Sharing my creative work and interacting with fellow artists/art enthusiasts. Fractals are relatively new to the artsphere and I'm trying to create something unique with them.
Wow! I'm honored!
As usual, great post. I love all your posts, I think you have a stalker... I'll be waiting for your entry to my contest! Keep up the good work!
=) ... Hehehe... This is one place where stalking doesn't bother me ;P Aaanndd... The entry is done! ^^
Hey this is awesome! But...um...I’m not from South Africa. I think there was someone in the comments who may have said something like? But it’s not me. :) But thank you for the shout out and really lovely/kind words. I love this post and how you featured people with such personal anecdotes. The images look beautiful!
No, no, I'm from South Africa! Hehehe... All words are mine, talking about each post ;P ... Notice the last line... "We need more people like Lily in the world." ... ;P
Very nice, you've selected some that really touched me as well, particularly the last two. Well done. You're incorporating different styles of publishing neatly into your own aesthetic and brand. That's exactly what I hoped would happen for all of you. And I love your last paragraph here, very nice touch.
Thank you as always =) You've made it all possible. How is your brand doing since you started all this, by the way? =)
