I use comics as an example, but we have a good core of people here in that field. We also have a lot of musicians. Steem seems a great way to get money to creative people as you can vote them some rewards as you consume their art. The 7 day limit is a bit of a pain for that, but I hope we can find ways to work with it.

We also have outsider artists like me! I also do comic like characters. Have you seen them? I don't think the comic community pays much attention to me, because of the unorthodox approach, maybe? That's okay though.
Have you heard of my #showcasesunday? The basic premise is to take old work and rework it into new posts somehow.
I have seen some of your art and it's great that you have your own style. We don't have to conform to what others expect. One of the great things about the internet is that you can reach out to the whole world to find your particular audience. I am not sure if I had seen the tag. Do you have a post about it?
The style is constantly evolving but I think a lot of folks can recognize it and know it's mine without seeing my name next to it. Some folks like it, some don't, that's the life I signed up for and I still enjoy it. I admire this platform because I can use humor or fiction or just random life ramblings and those words double as marketing; they help brings eyes to the art. Don't have to be a sellout.
I do have a post:

So far quite a few people have tried it out. Two even hit top 10 trending slots. People are being creative in how they present this old work for the second go. The one thing I don't want to see is folks copy/paste an exact duplicate, because if it didn't work the first time, it would be wise to improve it the second time. And of course sometimes our posts get overlooked early on, yet we worked our butts off. That's the same struggle everyone goes through at the start, so with something like this, all is not lost.
