Particle Man's curation particles, August 8

Notionally August 8, anyway. I pretty much lost my Wednesday to flying east and sleeping it off, so this is a little late.

This one's about how he's going to go out and personally solve our traffic slowdown, and I hope he's right. (And maybe can teach me to do a better job with people I'd like to get here.)

experimenting with brush drawing and I really love how this piece came out. Not that I don't like drawing itself, but it's always a safe way to my heart to end up with something that looks like it could be a print.

Thanks for including me today! I hope you join in on the fun at @pifc - it's generally my favorite post of the week. I was fortunate enough to discover it the very first week. :-)

Thanks for the thought - it made me realize I actually have two active new people from the #printmaking tag for pretty much the first time ever, so maybe I can do one.

I just looked at the tag - only saw one person (https://steemit.com/@emilygiovanna), but she's a good example of someone who @pifc might help - as in, it might just give her the encouragement she needs to post more frequently.

I wish I had the SP to vote for everything that looks great! One day I will.

Great project. Following.

What a lovely comment <3.
Thank you very much for your support, as always.

Thanks for highlighting my post and absolutely great absolute zero reference, I caught it, nice one! Haha!
