Sometimes I can not draw or make useful things. Then I have to write instead.
It has been a busy day for all my contacts on Steemit and I have written with people about many things - while being all frigid myself. But then, to at least do something, I will now promote a few posts and profiles that I think you should know about:
Creative Commons projects on Steemit.@alexandravart & @Shortcut are both doing a very nice job promoting
They have made two profiles that write about, upvote, and make competitions for and with the artists here on Steemit that use the CC-license.
Go see the profiles:
@creative-commons & @ccommons.art
For people who draw please go to this competition upvote and make some funny paper faces for the CC meme: https://steemit.com/contest/@ccommons.art/faqs-for-creative-commons It would be a great support for a worthy cause. And of course if you do not draw then just upvote or comment.
I will also recommend that you go see the profile and first post of @artsyhonker something as rare as a composer of choral music who makes her work available as free Creative Commons scores.
Listen here to some of her very beautiful music:
I second your promotion of @shortcut , who is a wonderful Steemarian on so many levels.
Also, I am so impressed by how you conveyed light in your drawing.
YES! I wouldn't know what to do without @shortcut. Great article you wrote by the way, just read through it!
Thank you both :-) Feeling very flattered ☺️
Love the drawing! the shapes are very evocative. Nice job promoting other accounts, that's amazing to see this kind of support in this community. Thanks for sharing :)
Promoting the promoters :)
I have been listening to Dido's Lament ever since you mentioned it. Now I'm going to listen to this one. Your illustration is rad. You have a gift for bringing out light in the darkness.
The piece is brand new and written by the new user @artsyhonker, but it is also very much connected to the age of Purcell and the very fascinating composers that came before him, like William Byrd. I just posted another beautiful piece by Purcell. So happy that you like this old music :)
Oh, go to the post of @artsyhonker and tell her you like it. I invited her from Mastodon and hopes she will get a good reception here.
Will do! I hope she does not get offended by my cursing. LOL. I swear, I am stuck in the wrong time. I love old music. If you have the time, check this out: http://www.loc.gov/jukebox/
It's the National Library of Congress and they have an extensive music collection of old shit.
You swear charmingly, no one will be offended. And thanks for the link, I immediately found some ancient blues that rocked!
