First, let me just say that it is a reinvigorating feeling to accompany a community of pioneers who are paving the way for a brand new, innovative social platform. I mean, we are all a part of history! Steemit is breaking new ground and we have the privilege to be a part of it. I think that's amazing.
My name is Markis - I'm a 20-year-old Graphic Designer and Filmmaker. I've always been interested in alternative media, which is likely why I'm surfacing this platform. I indulge in videography, photography and graphic design - three mediums that I've frequented since high school. My aim is to create quality artwork and post quality content here.
Here are some samples of me and my work:
And while this video served as an introduction to a class I took in college, I think it's still a valid intro to who I am:
I'm very hyped to meet all of you awesome Steemers, and get the most out of this platform.
Let's make history.
Welcome to steem, Glad to have you here!
Interesting art work, would you say that you are able to better express yourself now, compared to then (in the video) or do you still feel that your true vision would scare people off of you as a career artist?
Tron! Glad to hear from you, new friend! And in no way is my extreme views expressed in the video characteristic to how I actually feel - it was made as a kind of joke introduction to my college class last year lol But I definitely do have high aspirations in the field of film and photo!
To be honest, Tron, I feel as though everyone's true vision kinda scares people off at first. It's not until it actually becomes a reality that people start to believe in it. That's the way it is with every business or industry however.
Just like you said: a journey of 1000 miles starts with a few well-placed footsteps. Let's walk that road together, my dude!
Looking forward to it! The best thing about this platform, isn't the money (though that is a bonus), but the chance to have meaningful engagement between content creators, and fans.
I have noticed a lot more engagement here, than in even the best of YouTube channels, and that is what excites me the most.
Exactly - there's so much this system is doing for creators and fans. Its encouragement of interaction is the best part - rewarding ordinary people for sharing their artwork, writings and experiences will expand the brand and invite new ideas to the table. It's so simple, yet effective!
Welcome.
Hope this will be a good platform for you to promote your work!
Thanks man, and I know it will be! It's such an upgrade from any other platform I've used - really impressed thus far.
Welcome and pleased to meet you. Looking forward to more art work. Looking crazy good so far. :)
