Trying to make up for not being able to attend the Brisbane meetup (I was in Melbourne) by engaging existing members in other circles (@newbieresteemday and @newbiegames) and also supporting fellow teamaustralia contestants on iTalent:

And I promise to help @buggedout with the mentor project as well, their project sounds interesting and I wonder if @roscoeh and @aoart has seen the Tulip Coin: https://thetulip.auction/
Perhaps we are a bit too laid back here in Brisbane, or just a bit flooded out at the moment with all the wet weather... either way it was a good wake up call from @choogirl :p
Hey @plushzilla, thanks for the links.
I hadn't seen the ones you mentioned and thetulip.auction sounds really cool. Offering just a single token is an interesting idea.
Already a fan of @shoumi and PXLPET. I really love his pixel art and his style is part of inspiration behind our flowers :)
Looking forward to chatting more and catching up.
You'll like @wanaf's posts as well then I think, like this one: https://steemit.com/cryptoart/@wanaf/steem-logo-island-creative-commons
I am keen to try the software magicavoxel that he is using to play around some ideas myself. Already had a chat to @aoart and hope we can catch up soon :)
Thanks for the link @plushzilla Looks interesting. Luckily it's worlds apart from pixel.flowers
We never got to the Meetup either. Had more pressing matters, we certainly were not half assed. Lol
See you at the next one!
I am pretty keen to try and catch up with yourself and @roscoeh because I started dabbling a little bit in the art side of things but I work as a UX designer and always keen to collaborate with developers (as you can see the user experience isn't always so good on blockchain applications). Would be great to find out more about your project and you've got a really good contest that I am more than happy to promote. I know that @shoumi worked on the PXLPET project that you might want to check out as well, and https://cryptobots.me/ is another one that comes to mind.
Yeah. We're up to meeting. We're hoping to have the introduction page to pixel.flowers in a couple of weeks. The Flowers have been designed and almost finished. We're just toying around with how many to offer as they will he like a buy swap sell deal. Roscoe is amazing, he's doing the full website and the program to full run the handling of the flowers. He knows the correct jargon, I'm the artist. Lol.
I saw both of those last you mentioned. The robot one is from a huge Russian tech company.
Have you also seen mythereum.io and ethergen.io? There's also chibifighters.io so a few out there at the moment. So there is definitely a large enough market out there if you find the niche and add something a little bit different to the mix. Would be great to catch up and discuss art + blockchain because I think the intersection is an area of tremendous potential in the future :)
No... I haven't seen those. We've seen a number of them. I'll check those out.
Sure, we'd love to meet. If you wish to contact us drop me an email.
We can organise something from there.
Lol. You don't have to justify it. I just like to name and shame!
Plus this is a general Brisbane thing compared to other cities I've lived in, it's not specific to steemit.
It is an incentive to do better though :p In fact I am going to try and meet some of the Brisbane people in person since it appears to be more difficult to get everyone's schedule in sync.
The Queensland government and the Brisbane City Council has had an outstanding track record of not delivering on their promises over the last few years, so it is probably not a coincidence :D
Cool. Well let me know if you want me to promote any meetup type things that would be of interest to TA.
For sure! I am 'mentoring' two in Brisbane so maybe give it another few weeks and we'll already have a large enough group for a catch up :D
@buggedout will be interested in this. He might want to profile/interview you guys to see how it's going, how it's useful etc. If you're up for it.
That would probably be for the 'mentees' to comment on, but I'd love to find out from @buggedout and the other mentors to see how it is going :)
