Enrico Miguel Thomas

Introducing, Enrico! My brother! I felt like dedicating a post to him, since I can..being family and all. Anyway I must say he has inspired me in many ways growing up. Many told him he would not be successful as an artist, but his determination took him somewhere no man has gone before. The NYC Subways!

Armed with a few sharpies, he took the free MTA Subway maps and made them his canvas, and began drawing and sketching out the architecture of the trains, and the stations.

The above picture is actual a snap from a Sharpie commercial, that took notice of him after appearing on NY 1 news a known and major news station.

Here is a closer one...

You can find his art in galleries all over the city, and may even be lucky enough to catch him in action!

He is not aware of the Steemit community. I have shared it with him several times, but like most, has not adapted yet. I hope the art community here can share some insight and encourage him to bring more of his work to the Steemit community.

The community supports and compensates for great content! Hope to see you here soon Mr. Enrico Miguel Thomas!

babe @docmatrix your brother is really cool. i wish I could draw or paint like him

Awesome he is! Maybe he can show you how he does it one day..

Hi Thank you for #introducingyourself. Im myself quite new in steemit community but I realized that there are few things you could do to have a better start:
Mostly I invested a little bit in STEEM in order to purchase STEEM POWER and STEEM DOLLARS. Why? Its simply important. Without initial investment it will be very hard for you to build reach here and be noticed.

Im not sure if you ever heard about this site:
http://steemd.com/@your_username
Example: https://goo.gl/3mquu1
Perhaps you know it already :)
If you will reply to this message (that would allow me to believe that we may develop mutual engagement and help each other) then I will follow you and upvote some of your future posts.
Cheers and good luck.
