As a result of being featured today in the Author Showcase, I went around surfing tag to tag and found the #mycuriestory tag. What a wonderful inititative— especially since delegations would help so much right now. I will make it a point to write a #mycuriestory post today after I finish this blog I'm working on. Sounds like a great way to spread the word. I love when it gets personal.
I'm thinking of an added initiative. Perhaps I will start devoting a portion of curied posts back to curie in the form of delegation. I will have to calculate it out, but I think I could do at least 10% for all curied posts and posts about curie. Although I really am trying to power up in any way possible, I think the gesture itself could inspire others to do the same.
If even half of the authors that get curied are delegating 10% of their reward back to curie, it would be a big help to the initiative. I have 3 other projects on the blockchain in development. I will think of ways they can benefit to curie also as I'm sure at some point (due to the content) they may get noticed in the future.
Now from me to you, I wasn't aware that you and your wife were such brilliant artists. Your style resonates with me personally. I did a whole piece on Jungs "shadow self" concept.
While my visual art (drawing, painting) I've yet to showcase on Steemit (only photos) I too love mixing traditional and digital art— especially with AI. Deep Dream is a great app/program and one of the best out there with great resolution. I love the ability to remix two of my own pieces together and see what results. It's inspiring as well, because I've even repainted in oil a tree that DD rendered after a photo of a tree and one of my paintings. So I feel an affinity with this piece and your process.
I especially appreciate in your rendering above the saturation levels on the fish and a few elements in contrast to other parts of the image. It poses a question about the significance of the fish in the body of the piece. The tired expression of the greyed man is strikingly genuine as well.
Thanks for sharing. Will post my story soon.
