HEREThank you to everyone who has been sharing their links on these posts and for all the other general support. I am particularly excited about today's selection as this lady is truly talented and REALLY warrants a whole lot more attention than she is currently getting... so I hope everyone who goes and views her posts and videos shares the same sentiment.... I actually discovered @elenasteem via the new @elegance platform which is specifically for artists to share their work. You can learn more about this AWESOME platform
......
A small word to some of the artists who are giving their links... if you can - PLEASE find some way of verifying that the work is in fact yours... such as taking a photo of yourself with your artwork or placing a piece of paper with your steemit handle written on it next to your work etc.

Just over a month ago, I started a Steemit blog support initiative, which was aimed at regularly supporting 3 random bloggers / creators and one of each of their posts which I felt deserved a little attention. You can read about the original concept HERE - it was actually brought about by somebody's really negative rant about Steemit - and then directly at me, to which I decided to respond to with ongoing positivity lol (yeah, that is normally how I handle negative people and circumstance)
The initiative has been very well received and needless to say, the recipients have been most grateful for the additional attention and exposure...
BUT - and it's a big BUT... (isn't it always...)
I have decided to change it up a little, because I would like to make the efforts more IMPACTFUL to the recipients
So this is what I am going to do....
Instead of selecting 3 people once a week or so and upvoting them at whatever values seemed fitting to the articles, I have decided to resteem and upvote one person, EVERY DAY at 100%. (whatever that happens to be worth at the time)
Welcome to the 1 DAY - 1 POST - 100% - MINNOW BLOG SUPPORT INITIATIVE No. 5

I like digital painting and graphics (pen, pen, marker). But now I am at the stage of development and mastering of these directions. However, this is a ladder to the sky, there is no end point, I understand it, and interest guides me.
WANT TO BE FEATURED?
I am a firm believer in the fact that one hand washes the other, and so a little appreciation shown towards this initiative seems a fair trade for my daily efforts - If you would like your blog to be considered, then two things are required of you....
1) Resteem this post (no upvote required)
2) Drop your post link in the comments of this post.
......
"Every little bit helps" is the mindset which has driven me forward on Steemit and in life as a whole... so I genuinely hope that this minor offering, makes a difference to the whole...
Onward and upward to each and every one of us here
who retains a positive attitude no matter what...
Some recognition towards these featured authors from other generous curators would be fantastic too...
@curie @ocd @c-squared @minnowsupport
Oh and PS) For those that actually read things to the end... if you are looking for additional support for your posts, you can check out one of my other curation initiatives @theluvbug where every 2/3 days a batch of 100% upvotes and resteems are given to quality blog posts. Look for the latest curation post on #theluvbug profile and follow the instructions.

Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx
