From what I understand he is a well-known Spanish comic book artist and is publishing a book on Steem. My guess it was done to showcase and raise exposure to quality content.
You can check out the quick trailer on YouTube of the book.
Looking over his first post he seems to be pretty badass.
"I've worked on series like "CSI MIAMI Smoking Gun", written by Jeff Mariotte, "2 to the Chest", written by James Hudnall, "Monarch of Manhattan", written by Edward C. Sellner, "Worlds of Dungeons & Dragons - The Great Hunt" written by Elaine Cunningham, etc… My first lonely work was "Desde la Oscuridad", a compilation about my horror short stories published in "Cthulhu" magazine. I've also been working as inker for american publishers like DC Cómics, IDW, etc…"
I know nothing more than you other than this observation.
Ugh can you just let me complain about Steemit's front-end that they are forcing me to use?!
well, i agree with this actually, if that is the actual reason, its pretty nice to see something pinned that's not steemitblog for once :D and this is certainly good stuff ... let the haters hate ...
Im not sure what's on the cap though ? are they trying to push the price down to TRON level, hoping to that marketcap b/c that will in essence void the value of the actual steem"it" platform down to zip for the bulk of users but thats #offtopic here and im really not in talk mode, anyway, gud i think this post is good to be featured
ignore the critics @pepoarte, its usually the same people making the same complaints heh, but it IS true creative content is highly undervalued, its just a bonus for exposure IF you can reach the right people ... mostly
#steemit 's pick-of-the-week , steemits featured artist of the week ? maybe i.o. of labelling it in with the pinned posts to take the wind out of the critics and the haters lol. Problem is, you can't pick after the week, you gotta pick on day one, which means you might be sorry by the next day b/c there's another post you would have liked there.
I think it's good steemit itself promotes creative content. You could do a community poll to feature someone or have them delegated to for a month but you can be sure if you do that then it's handshake-politics that will decide who gets it, someone budding and newbies don't have here. And if you don't you'll get the critics claiming bias ... you can't please everyone
i think this is in the right place, but maybe with the wrong little green label (of all people you lot should know how appearances and magic words influence outhere)
