A SERIOUS COLOMBIAN GRAPHIC NOVELIST

[francolorart]

Hi Steemians, Steemers, Steemdudes!

This is Franco Lora! A graphic designer, Illustrator and Macgyver's Fan (The classic one, not the new one because it’s just not good at all, haha sorry)!

I moved to the antipodes of the world to find my “Porpoise”; striving through difficult challenges, I committed myself to tell the story of my country (Colombia) on a graphic novel format. Unfortunately, it is a story no one wants to know - the Colombian post conflict. During the following weeks I'll be posting one page at a time with its process video and also showing some facts about the Colombian conflict. After finishing that, I might continue with some fun stuff. I don't want this blog to be that serious.

But first things first, I want to share with you all, the first issue of the series!

⇓ Here is the Link ⇓

Hope you enjoy it and any comment will be appreciated, I’ll be around answering questions.

Follow, share, resteem , enjoy and see you next week with the first page of the second series!

Thank you all!

Yours trustworthy,

@FrancoLorart

Welcome to Steem Community @francolorart! As a gentle reminder, please keep your master password safe. The best practise is to use your private posting key to login to Steemit when posting; and the private active key for wallet related transactions.

Hello francolorart! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
